We have never experienced such wonderful hospitality anywhere else. We tried so many dishes but here are my favorites: - Chutoro deviled eggs were unique and AMAZING! My daughter especially loved them. - Datil was surprising flavorful! I'm not a huge fan of dates, but the combination of the sweet dates, creamy goat cheese, and spicy Arrabbiata sauce was delicious. - The Gramercy filet was so tender and perfectly cooked! - Finally, the braised short rib was cooked well and the red wine jus was the perfect complement to the short rib and the garlic mashed potatoes. Thank you for taking such good care of us! We will definitely be back.

Yet another winner in RTP! When you come in, it looks like a super tiny coffee house with a few…read moretiny tables with people sipping coffee and working on their laptops. I'd be one of them for sure if I lived here! It has a kind of hidden huge and gorgeous dining area in the back. We didn't have time to sit for a full meal unfortunately. So we got coffee and matcha - all excellent and balanced - not overly sweet at all. I got a bacon egg & cheese on a tortilla which was sooo good. This place & the hood gave me NYC in the 80s/90s vibes and I love it. Aaktun is owned by the Michelin recommended Little Bull folks, which I have also reviewed & loved.

Was excited to try this place and the food did not disappoint, but the service did. I don't know…read morewhy there were 4 different servers helping the small section we were in, but we always had to ask someone to get our server. My second drink didn't come until after we were done with mains and before bringing mains, our dishes weren't cleared from small plates so we were handing dirty plates to the person serving our food to make room on the table. Then they never came back with new silverware or plates so we again had to flag someone down. Before 7pm they were also out of the half chicken and they bread pudding dessert. Then it came time to pay and trying to use an open table credit was a nightmare. The manager simply said "we don't take that, we moved to toast" but the reservation was made through the credit as a place to use it.

Although there were only a few patrons, it seemed like a bit too much for one person to handle, but he did so with grace. Same with the cook...he was solo, so it seemed like a lot to manage, but the food turnaround time was good. I ordered a specialty cocktail that was really good...lemon pepper chicken wings that were DELICIOUS...a smash burger and fries (burger was only so-so, but thy fries were good!)...and finished with fried oreos served with melted chocolate for dessert that were absolutely SCRUMPTIOUS. I highly recommend Falls Local for their prime location, great service, delicious menu offerings, and overall great vibe. Can't wait to go back!

Was invited to celebrate a 70th birthday party with friends on June 27, 2026. The atmosphere was…read morepleasant, and our waitress, Lulu, was friendly and attentive. Unfortunately, the meal was very disappointing. When you hear the name "Nantucket," you expect outstanding seafood. I ordered the crab cakes, but they fell far short of that expectation. The outside breading had a burnt taste, the inside was brown with a stringy texture, and there was no sign of fresh lump crab meat. The asparagus was bland, underseasoned, and served without butter. My husband ordered the fried cod and scallops, and he wasn't impressed either. Overall, the food didn't live up to the restaurant's reputation. Next time, we'll stick with the NC Seafood Restaurant at the Farmer's Market for fresh, hot seafood.

I've now been to the Station twice to dine at Crescendo for both lunch and dinner and had a great…read moreexperience! Crescendo is nestled within The Station in downtown Clayton, an area that we love! Within The Station lies Crescendo, a cinnamon roll spot, candle making fun, health food/drink business, and an adorable local market upstairs! The restaurant also provides live music at times. It's no frills, but has a very Charleston feel. The restaurant is small and has maybe 10-15 tables, but also a fun bar to sit at if you prefer. The drink menus are within CDs, which is super cool. They have a lunch menu, and a dinner menu. Both times we went, our servers were great. My first experience was with my husband and daughter for lunch on a Sunday. We shared the Belly Bao buns and Falafel Pita Pocket. Both of these dishes were delicious. We subbed the Falafel for Blackened Chicken. We'd surely order both again. My girlfriend and I went for dinner for an early birthday celebration. For dinner we started with the Oxtail Poutine. I always wanted to try a poutine dish and this did not disappoint! I will definitely be ordering that again. For our entrées, we both ordered the Mediterranean Chicken Sandwich. I got mine with a side of rice since we had already had french fries. The sandwich was fresh and full of flavor and the chicken cooked perfectly! It served with pistachio pesto, roasted red peppers, and mozzarella with a delicious balsamic glaze! Everything about this place was great. I can't wait to visit it again.

Five Star did not disappoint! The small details stood out-like the bowl one of our entrees was delivered in was in the shape of a star. The wood tables had stars emblazoned in them and the stars in the windows-nice touch! The lighting was perfect and the hanging lights were uniquely beautiful. We saw all different types of diners: a few couples on dates, a midsize party in the private room, a solo diner, a large family, a business group nearby discussing work and celebrating something, young parents with a couple of well-behaved toddlers and even a set of new parents where the mother was wearing her newborn! Seriously, there is something for everyone here. We decided to try several items so we could sample as much as possible. Their five-star chicken dish and chili garlic green beans were my choice, and I am so glad I chose those! When I return, I liked them so much I am not sure I will be able to try anything else bc I want them again! Their steamed dumplings, rice and chicken wraps were also to die for! I thought surely we would want to take something home-nope! We stuffed ourselves and loved every minute of it. The ambiance was great. Our table was perfectly located so we could even watch the trains go by as built-in entertainment! The manager, Evan, was pleasant. Niko and Alex were our servers and such a joy to have serve us. Everyone seemed to enjoy their jobs. Even the hostess was cheerful. It makes a difference when, as a patron, you feel appreciated and the staff is eager to serve. We are excited to add this location to our rotation in the near future and will certainly be returning with friends and family!

I mean, the place is called Five Star... couldn't possibly be more suited for a Yelp review. And…read moredespite the fact it's current average is not 5 stars, I agree with the name, as I definitely had a 5 star experience! Bear with me, as this was several months ago, but in the process of going through my last year's photos, I saw these and realized I had not actually written a review. I immediately remembered the meal and how tasty everything was. We started off with several apps, including some soup dumplings, crab rangoons (with actual crab in them, not just cheese turnovers), and some crispy spicy garlic shrimp. All were delicious, the soup dumplings still stand out in my head as favorites. The portion on the crispy shrimp was excellent. We went family style on the dinner... beef lo mein, general tso chicken, cashew chicken, and spicy mongolian beef. That all came with a big bowl of communal rice, and we all left stuffed and satisfied. There wasn't a dish on the table we wouldn't order again. As with anything downtown, parking can be a little tricky. I was able to find free street parking about a block down, but that's all gonna be luck based. The lot behind the restaurant was totally full. Would come back next time I visit Raleigh!
