At the recommendation of some friends, we tried a new appi and re-ordered the crispy rice/crab appi which Jason recommended the first time and they were all fabulous. The crispy rice crab appi was as good as we remembered and teh bacon wrapped fig stuffed with goat cheese, served on a plate with a tomato based sauce and pesto was 5/5, great flavor combo! We had the fish special, Wagyu burger (with the onions and aoli) and a cheese burger. The burger at Seasons used to be my favorite, but now the burger here takes 1st place. We opted for some shredded cheese on our fries which was a great addition. One side of fries was not quite as fresh and crispy as the other one, but we didn't finish all of them anyway. The flourless torte was rich and amazing and enough goodness for three of us to share. Jason does a great job of recommending foods and is prompt and attentive We look forward to our next visit at the Kennedy and plan to ask for one of his tables.

We sat at the bar and the gentleman gave us some background on the facility and also allowed us to sample some of the wines that were made there. I really liked the wines I tried and purchased two bottles to bring home to NC. I was pleased with the customer service I received and I will go back again for a more extensive tour of the entire facility.

The Blue Slip Bistro is located on the first floor of the Southern Railway depot building downtown,…read moreon the train tracks side. It's a very casual place. Loads of free parking, which is unique downtown. I went for lunch and got the Italian panini sandwich. The bread is toasted extra crispy and is filled with all kinds of stuff. Lots of flavor. Very good. It came with a side salad that was a cut above what I expected. With an iced tea and tax my lunch total was $14.75. Slightly above the average downtown but the quantity and quality was above average too. The place was empty except for me. Give them a try! Park there and ask if it's okay to leave your car in their lot while you walk around downtown. I'm on a mission to try all of the 50+ restaurants for lunch downtown. It's a fun assignment! The waitress was nice and my food came quickly.

I went for my Birthday as I do almost every year . The service was very good and our waitress was…read morevery attentive to our needs. I started off with a dozen New River Oysters, they were fresh and delicious, but the crackers they brought out were stale and some of them were already open, which may be why some were stale. I ordered the wasabi Tuna on rice and a baked potato and the spouse had the grilled salmon on rice with baked potato. My Tuna started out good as the first couple of bites were easily cut off the steak , but then there was a very big piece of white grisly tendon that run the entire length of the fish and it was impossible to cut with the butter knife that I was given. Then it got worse when the potato had a thumb sized black place once I started eating the potato. Needless to say I was not very happy with my Birthday meal, my wife's salmon was perfectly cooked and her potato was fine. Im sure that if I had complained about the meal, they would have cooked me another meal, but when you are spending 130 dollars on a great meal in a upscale restaurant you expect that the chef and staff have properly trimed the fish and inspected the potato for bad places and you could see the black spot on the outside as well as the inside. I can't say that I have had a bad meal at Chesapeakes before today, but it's doubtful that I will go back. Another thing in all of my Birthday meals there,I have always been given a complimentary dessert to take home in the past. As the meal portions ,plus the dozen Oysters that I always get is alot of food, but no offer from the waitress this time. Just didn't expect mediocre food from this place, especially when the prices are so expensive.

I suppose you could say it is better than other restaurants in the area but that's about it for me. And that alone is not something that would get me to go back. I'm just tired of spending money at average places. The food wasn't bad, it just wasn't anything to write home about and I don't love leaving a meal thinking "did I really spend that much for that?"

We went to Pour Taproom after dinner tonight. What a great concept! They have a full wall of…read morebeverages - wine, seltzers, all kinds of beers, some mixed drinks/cocktails, non-alcoholic drinkss, and water. You check in with your credit card and get a wrist band for each person in your group. Then you scan your wrist band at each tap and pour as much or little as you want. The system keeps up with the quantity and price of each pour, and you pay at the end. The night we went, there was a live band playing. Inside there is a decent amount of seating, and there are lots of tables outside. Really fun place. Highly recommended.

Really enjoyed the experience here. It took less than 30 seconds to check me in. All I need to do…read moreis give my ID to scan and a card to put on file (they said I can pay cash when it's time to pay if I wanted). Just like that I have a wrist band and can pick what ever beer I want. It's cool to pour 2-5 oz to try something with a low cost low risk opportunity. I had 21.8 oz total of different kinds of beers and it only cost me 10 bucks. I was checking out and someone else had a party of 5 and their bill was only $56 with beer and food. It seems like if you can navigate drinks and food well you can really get a great value. Totally recommend!

The meatball appetizer was three mini meatballs. I've seen meatballs on sub sandwiches bigger than these. The lasagna, was really without any sauce. It was a bolognese sauce. Also it lacked the stretchy cheese pull that one expects from a lasagna. The pasta dishes from what I tried was a little to al dente, there was too much chew in the pasta. That said for the prices that they charge to not offer a side salad or at least some bread with the meal is disappointing.

The food is amazing. For appetizers I would recommend getting the focaccia and meatballs. Entree wise, I would HIGHLY recommend splitting the Pappardelle e Ragú di Maiale Bianco and something else with another one of your table mates. The portion size is perfect for one person but you'll want to try more than one item. If you are there in the summer, you must try the Tomato Martini (PLEASE bring it back for next summer's menu!). The service and ambiance of Osteria Stella and Brother Wolf is what completely sets them apart. OS is a high class, quiet, romantic restaurant with dark colors and knowledgeable servers who value your experience. BW is simply a high end bar. That said, BW is much more fast paced and really my only complaint, the music was absurdly loud the night we were there for dinner and the restaurant was crowded, so everyone was trying to talk over the music and you almost had to yell to even hear the person sitting right beside you. If going to OS, you would likely need reservations, especially on a weekend. With BW, they don't take reservations to my knowledge and it's a free for all for an open seat at the bar or an open table. Really the difference is what kind of vibe you're going for.
