parking is a little busy, but as soon as we got in there restaurant the host greeted us and set us down right away. our server was very friendly, informative, and attentive. Everyone wished us a happy anniversary and my husband happy birthday. I love how they paid attention to detail. The server made sure she let us know about the food and questioning and allergies. Now ask for the food it was OK. The best thing on the menu that we had was the chicken. It was very delicious but too salty. The pasta was overcooked and chewy for my liking. The drink I had the garden party i didn't taste any liquor just the flavor which was refreshing. The watermelon drink with the black salt was delicious. the roasted carrots was pretty tough and seemed a little undercooked. My crab salad was more a "taco" to me than a salad and very small. I was actually looking forward to a real salad. The lamb appetizer was also delicious. overall the service was amazing, but the food didn't match my liking so we wouldn't be back but we thank you for the hospitality. Also, the gift we had for our anniversary was delicious the little chocolate pistachio bomb.

This is a review of their special event dinner - Kamayan Dinner wherein they featured traditional Filipino-style communal feast served over banana leaves. Celebrating smoke, fire, sourness, sweetness, and gathering together at the table. It is a collaboration between Peregrine(Chef Rahman) & Crawford & Son(Chef Salita) Hands-down this was a great outdoor dining event with overall delicious food and drinks! Can't wait to join their next dinner under the stars.

The hub and I had a lovely pre-Valentine's Day dinner here last night. The restaurant was a bit hard to find, located in the ground floor of an obscure office complex near North Hills. When we entered, I was impressed by the industrial chic decor. The menu was a trip around the world, an eclectic mix of dishes and drinks plucked from the corners of the earth. I ordered the chai martini, which was excellent. However, I was disappointed by the very brief wine offerings. We started with the tuna teradito, which was delicious. I then ordered the lamb, which was prepared al pastor style. It wasn't my favorite. However, my husband really enjoyed his wedding chicken entree. Additionally, the coconut rice wand broccoli I were both very tasty. Overall, the food was enjoyable, but the service was a bit slow. Also, the menu items were quite pricey for the portions.

Came here as a party of 5 on a Saturday night for a birthday dinner. Online reservations were open the night before but quickly filling up the day of--only 2 time slots left. You do have to leave a credit card when making an online reservation which charges $20 per person if it ends up as a no-show. For drinks, I was looking most forward to the dirty chai martini, which was good but I ended up liking the Amrita more (recommend if you have a sweet tooth). Ordered multiple dishes to share: the tiger salad, Bengali wedding chicken, roasted lamb, roasted trout, barbecued squash, and coconut rice. The tiger salad was like a Thai green papaya salad. Decent. 3.5/5 The Bengali wedding chicken was definitely a favorite. Very aesthetically pleasing. The chicken was so tender, including the dark and white meat, and paired well with the creamy sauce. 5/5 The roasted lamb was also a favorite. It was a mixture of textures from the sliced lamb to the tiny pieces of pineapple, to the creamy grits. 5/5 The roasted trout was decently sized and tender. Definitely a good option if you're looking for a lighter option. 4.5/5 The sides of coconut rice and barbecued squash were definitely top contenders too. Loved that the coconut rice came with egg yolk, good savory/lightly sweet option. 5/5 The barbecued squash was also surprisingly good and went well with the cheese. 4.5/5 The service was fantastic. Since we were celebrating a birthday, the staff was really nice to bring out complimentary dessert: chocolate balls filled with yuzu cream. The filling reminded me of melted ice cream. He was even considerate enough to remember that the birthday guest didn't like dairy so he also brought out gummies. The ambience of the place was modern and aesthetically pleasing. Don't know if it's part of the flow, but food preparation was slower than I expected (30 minutes before drinks arrived and an hour before the meal), but it did give good time to socialize in a place with nice vibes. Free parking available as parallel parking outside the building. Overall pricey but good quality food served in a place with great ambience and service. Good place for special occasions/celebrations.

Had the pleasure of doing our monthly mystery dinner here at Peregrine for ladies night! Our reservation was a little earlier than we had planned but it turned out to be a blessing in disguise because we were able to take in the stunning decor and atmosphere before it was packed. Our server was very knowledgeable and patient with answering all our questions about the menu. The drinks were top tier and the dishes - edible art! While this place is on the higher end price wise, I do feel it's a lovely spot for grabbing drinks, date night or celebratory evening out with friends/family. I highly recommend Peregrine and look forward to visiting again to try out some of the other dishes on the menu.

First "fine" dining experience, and it was super cool. The servers were amazing and explained every menu item for us when we asked. Such unique names, flavor combinations, and plating. My favorite dishes were the pulao, honey bee dessert, bonfire dessert, and country store (eggs). I had high hoped for the chicken since it was the main dish, but it lacked on flavor for me.

Great new spot tucked into a new office building. Decor is stunning. Well spaced tables in a Scandinavian style. Inventive art on the walls, very cool light fixtures. Background music at the right volume. Even though high ceilings and exposed ductwork, it was quiet enough for converation without shouting. Service was excellent. Thanks To Shemmy for orchestrating the meal and explaining the menu choices. BBQ King Oyster mushrooms were excellent. Cut like an apple, broiled just right and served over an outstanding sauce. A great start. Next up was gem lettuce. Crisp lettuce served dressed with pistachio cream, fancy grated pecorino and topped with pickled shallots. The cream was the perfect complement to the tart lettuce, cheese and shallots. This was arguably the best dish. Next was duck breast. This one was disappointing. I was envisioning Asian-style crispy skin with lean flesh. In this prep, the sorghum-glaze wasn't crunchy. The duck was more fat than flesh. The foie gras is an interesting touch and the flavor is complementary to the duck. Also tried Gold Rice Khichdi. These are seared scallops served over risotto-style gold rice. The rice is very rich and almost too creamy. Deliciously spiced. Scallops perfect - pan seared, juicy and moist with a little crunch in each bite. Each scallop topped with a fried pork rind (aka chicharrones). Lastly for dessert we tried chocolate date fudge. This features carmelized milk gelato, marcona almond and dried kumquat. The presentation is breathtaking - you almost hate to take a bite! The combo of flavors is excellent. Tart kumquat, smooth, creamy gelato and rich chocolate. Overall, a cool new place. A number of interesting-looking things to try on the menu. Will be back!

Such a beautiful restaurant from the inside to the outside, make sure you take a walk in the herb garden pre or post dinner! The service was great, multiple staff checked on us and were very attentive. The food was delicious! Sounds very adventurous but the taste and presentation were amazing!

Located in an office building on the bottom floor is a wonderful restaurant serving cuisine from around the world. As you approach the restaurant the hostess opened the door for us and seated us at our table. Our waiter Cody was great. He was detailed and attentive to our needs and made helpful suggestions on how to approach the menu. We started with the mushroom and kebab. The mushroom was Cody's suggestion and it did not disappoint. Spicy and savory. The kebab had a delicious accompaniment of fruit and a crème. Main dish was a large 22 ounce steak we split with delicious potatoes and pickled vegetables. The cocktails were on point and we hope to return and enjoy this restaurant again.

Utterly spectacular food, service & ambiance. Certainly Peregrine has instantly established itself as one of Raleigh's finest restaurants. Everything we had was superb, and the service was super attentive without being intrusive. Highly recommended: the beef heart and chicken crackling appetizers, the Bengali Wedding Chicken, Carne Asada and the Sunburst Trout. Cocktails were ~$18, entrees range from $32 to $58. The Peas & Beans and Bonfire Potatoes sides were also quite good. If you're a foodie you absolutely must visit Peregrine. With three cocktails, a mocktail, three apps, two sides and four entrees, our bill was $350, and well worth it. Terrific restaurant and a great addition to the Raleigh food scene.

We went to Peregrine last night to celebrate my boyfriend's birthday. Since it was his birthday they provided a complimentary champagne toast which was very thoughtful. For drinks we have the Cabernet and the Matchmaker. For appetizers we had the Tiger Salad and the Waygu Tartare. The shrimp in the salad was the freeze dried little crisps in the salad which was surprising and gave the flavor of shrimp, but not was what we were expecting. The texture of the waygu was good but the flavor was primarily masked by the sauce. For the entrees, we had the halibut and the lamb. Both were so delicious and definitely the stars of the show! The halibut was so tender and moist, and the curry sauce was delicious. The lamb was also super tender and The lamb was tender andFor the side we had the broccolini, which we could not get enough of.

What a special place! I have had the opportunity to experience all of the fine dining establishments in the Rdu area and many beyond. There isn't anything local quite like this. I cannot wait to come back and try the next special dish. We had the pleasure of dining with Derrick. His experience and professionalism speaks for itself. I hope we have the opportunity to dine with him in future visits. He has incredible passion for the menu and his knowledge of the dishes and the stories behind each one only furthers exemplified this. Chef Saif frequented our table and shared his personal stories behind the menu, it made us feel like we were dining at his home and sharing dishes that were special to him. Four of us tasted a good portion of the menu today(it changes) for those we missed we hope to be back soon to try. If you are looking for something different than the same ol' steakhouses, with bold creative flavors, superior service that is also welcoming and friendly this is you place.

If you ever want to feel fancy and taste some exotics global cuisine, this is the place for you! Immaculate service and an elegant decor, this place pleases the eyes and satisfies the appetite. The restaurant is away from the hustle of downtown or a busy street. The parking is convenient and the location is a beautiful office building, ground floor. We were escorted inside to our big round table in the corner from where we could enjoy the view inside and out. We ordered cocktails, and the dirty chai martini won our hearts, it had this mix flavor of chai, coffee and grey goose, must try. In the "arrivals" we ordered , chicken crackling, bonfire potato, sheesh kabab and piyazi. All these were creatively thought out unique dishes which reminded me of the flavors from India. In the "journeys" , they have limited options and we ordered most of them, Ode to Amina, the matcher jhol and the Bengali wedding chicken are an inspiration from an Indian state of Bengal, which is popular for its non vegetarian food. The fish was perfectly cooked, soft and tasted great with their pulav, chicken was tender and flavorful, loved the rose and almond based gravy. Suya mushroom did not impress so much, it was a little chewey for us. In the "departures", we ordered bitter chocolate and blueberry fromage, beautifully presented and tasted amazing. Loved the minty, gooey, bitter sweet chocolate dessert. Heavy on pockets but light on hearts, this place is a great choice when you want to pamper yourself with a wholesome and elegant experience.
