    I know RL has its weak points but it's during Lobsterfest, it doesn't get much better. I love lobster bisque, and even the shrimp and lobster linguine was excellent. I think RL is trying hard to get over their corporate finance issues and deliver excellent food and service to customers. As an aside, I first visited this location on Old Wake Forest Rd back in the early 1980s when I first moved to Raleigh so I like reliving good memories here! Highly recommend!

    Not yo' Granny's Red Lobster! We checked out Red Lobster for a late lunch on a Monday. My friend said she wanted a crispy fish sandwich. We walked right in and were greeted by friendly staff and immediately seated. Apparently it was after the lunch rush as there were just a few tables occupied. After a brief wait our waitress appeared...she was very attentive, pleasant and professional...but I can't remember her name. But Ms. Waitress was good. We both ordered our drinks and my friend wanted an Arnold Palmer. She was impressed because it was mixed to her liking. The crispy fish sandwiches were delicious too. Fresh bread and ingredients. The portion size was large and takeout containers were needed for both of us. Now I didn't forget those cheddar bay biscuits were warm and delicious. I ate two and brought some home for the next day! This was my first visit to Red Lobster in 5 years due to not so good experiences and my husband just doesn't like it. He's picky though! I'm adding Red Lobster back in the rotation now.

    Usually with dinning out people aren't really attentive or they just don't care. Larry is an exceptional server. He made me feel welcomed and comfortable to eat here at red lobster. He made sure the food was right and drinks filled. Now for the food, it was absolutely good.we'll be back again. As long as we get Larry LOL. Also the vibe of the dinning room was cozy and warm I like how dark it looked.

    We came back even though we said we wouldn't and we're glad we did! Margot, our waitress, was OUTSTANDING!! Food was delicious but it was her service that will bring us back.

    First time here. Been wanting to come for a while and so glad I did. I arrived and it was already…read morepacked at 530 on Saturday. Outdoor seating looked really nice. Wish it wasn't 100 out. Good reason to come back. Started with prickly pear margarita with mescal. Yum! Had a white wine after. It was ok. My friend and I shared 4 bruschetta's- smoked salmon and pesto, artichoke, caprese, and apple, Brie and fig. Favs were smoked salmon and apple and Brie. The fries were amazing. Salmon board was good too. The bread on the board was much better than the bruschetta. Ambiance is great. Service as well. Will be back!

    Absolutely love Postino! This is my go to lunch spot with coworkers. We've been numerous times…read moreand are never disappointed. My go to meal is the half panini and tomato soup. Their roast beef panini is on par with Portillo's a long standing Chicago beef restaurant (IYKYK). I've NEVER had a beef sandwich that was better than Portillo's but Postino you managed to take a hometown classic and elevate it to a point beyond my expectations - if you get this sandwich I recommend getting it on the ciabatta bread versus focaccia. Let's not overlook the tomato soup - it's so rich and flavorful. For a lighter lunch my go to is the tuna panini with broccoli salad. They are known for their boards, I've not had the bruschetta yet but it looks delicious. My favorite board is the hummus. One thing I hate is when a restaurant gives you a big bowl of hummus and not enough pita. That is not the case here, you'll get pita, toasted bread, and a variety of vegetables to scoop up the velvety humus covered in cherry tomatoes, red onion and feta. For date night enjoy a Violet Femme a gin cocktail that tastes as lovely as it looks. The service here is top notch! Everyone is fantastic. I'll have to come back to this review to note the serves names we've had because they have all been exceptional. Now let's talk about the vibe! Postino's nailed the indoor/outdoor feel. Plenty of windows that are open on nice days, plants galore and the decor gives you a cool like rockstar but classy feel. 5 stars doesn't feel like enough.

    First time trying this little gem and I loved it! It's located downstairs in a pretty big office…read morebuilding so most of the customers are employees of the local companies. You have to let the security at the desk no you're stoooing in for lunch at Truffles. There's decent seating, wood line view, and a television. I ordered a hummus pita, pasta salad and fruit for about 9 buck. All fresh and delicious. Very nice husband and wife running the place! You can't help but tip them.

    Truffles is one of those if-you-don't-work-in-the-office-park-you-don't-know-it-exists places…read morebecause, well, it's in a office building on the bottom level. No sign out front, nothing. It offers breakfast and lunch for the desk jockeys working there, which is convenient. They have your egg-and-meat type sandwiches for breakfast (toast, English muffin, or croissant) and sandwiches and salads for lunch, with a different soup on a rotating basis. They also offer a special every day, which a lot of my coworkers really enjoy. I heard a bunch of them rave about the veggie melt, which I still haven't had a chance to try! Anyway, there are your typical deli sandwiches, plus several mediterranean (vegetarian) options, which is great for me! There are a couple sides, like fruit salad, tabouli, and stuffed grape leaves. It's a pretty good deal, with sandwiches around $5-7. A cup of soup is just a few bucks! They also carry drinks and some snacks, and always have a couple baskets of brownies and bars to satisfy your nagging sweet tooth.
