No matter which char-Grill I go to, the food is always fresh, hot and made the way I ordered it. Great food for a great price. The one on Atlantic has specials on Sunday and Mondays. So you get more great food for less money. If its too cold to wait outside, just phone in your order and it will be ready when you get there. Oh, I'm hungry now. Id like to see a Char-Grill go up in the Wake Forest area.

We went to this restaurant and was completely blown away by it!!.. Once you step inside you forget you are in Raleigh, I dont know how they come up with the decor but it is very cool.. We did have to wait for our table but I guess that just shows how popular this place is.. We got our 'Gold' margaritas and sat outside and waited for them to call on us, we were given a toy instead of taking our name, just another unique and cool thing about this place..
Once we did get to our table, the server was very friendly, she told us about the menu and the special then gave us adequate time to relax.. I got the Steak Tacos which had been highly recommended to me by a friend, they were SO right!.. If you go you HAVE to get them!.. Have read some of the other comments, i agree it is not cheap but then again, if it was I very much doubt it would be anywhere nearly as good as it is..
Overall i would say you MUST go and check it out..
Pros: The food, the drinks, the atmosphere
Cons: Waiting time, but worth it

We visit P.F. Chang's where ever we go. Something special about this one at the Crabtree Mall in Raleigh. The food is fantastic as always, but the service and atmosphere is even more incredible. Great servers, but it must be the managers in the background. We eat there at least once or twice a month. We are glad to have picked Raleigh for our retirement home. We like the country living, but what a great city to live near.
Pros: Food and Service
Cons: None

This is such a neat dining spot! After a long day of shopping or running errands, eating here really hits the spot because they always have something I am in the mood for. It also works as a great place to stop by and have a drink at after a long day. And don?t even try to use every ounce of your willpower to stay away from the dessert case, you will, and should cave every time.
Pros: Great food, Amazing Dessert

I can't imagine the people who wrote negative reviews are eating at the same restaurant. Jeffry, the head chef is outstanding! If you are looking for meatloaf and mashed potatoes, you should look elsewhere but if you are interested in elegant seasonal fare, then this is your place.
My wife and I have been coming here regularly and all our "foodie" friends agree that it's the best restaurant in Raleigh. Make sure that you set your mind for a relaxed dining experience - not that the pace is slow - it's just that you will want to savor every bit and every sip. You will find the menu varied enough to account for wide tastes but it is not vast. The selections are obviously prepared with great care and served with equal attention.
Don't miss the duck and goat cheese gnocci - it's the stuff dreams are made of - if you dream of fine food.
Frazier's is like having The French Laundry in our own back yard.
Pros: Creative and delightful menu, excellent service
Cons: NONE!

Best Thai food I've found so far in Raleigh. Great spring rolls and delicious Pad Khing. Great atmosphere with very polite and quite service. Never a wait for a table and food is served fast and not expensive. I would recommend there Thai tea as well.

My office has their Christmas party here every year. We usually have random appetizers and an open bar. The food is always unique and delicious! This past Christmas, we had duck confit and tuna tartar in what looks like a little ice cream cone. The prosciutto wrapped shrimp ($11 appetizer...JUMBO shrimp) is also a great choice! The chocolate martinis are done very well!
Daryl and I decided to eat dinner here after going the mall tonight. I had a $25 off coupon, so I figured what the heck! Daryl had the shrimp and grits (of course) - $15. He said it was good and he liked the big pieces of andouille sausage. I ordered the Grilled Veggie Plate with Fresh Fish (Grouper) - $25. The grilled veggies were awesome! It was an entire plate filled with eggplant, zucchini, squash, red, green, and yellow peppers, red onion, and tomato with balsamic drizzled on it and chunks of goat cheese. The Grouper was placed on top. The fish could use a little sprucing up with some sort of seasoning. Or maybe I should've gotten it with the salmon, but the vegetables were really good!
Their complimentary bread is like a thinly sliced toast and served with hummus. My favorite!
We decided to share a dessert...the Chocolate Bomb ($7). It was a round dessert with an Oreo Crust Bottom, a layer of chocolate mousse, a layer of peanut butter mousse, and chocolate ganache on the outside. It was the bomb diggity!! It was like a really large peanut butter cup with oreos smashed into the bottom. I would go back again and again just for their signature dessert!
The wait staff was excellent! The owner even came over to check on us to see how we were doing. It was a good dinner!
Pros: great staff, good food, awesome desserts!
Cons: somewhat pricey, tables too close together

I discovered Piccola Italia in 1982 after searching high and low for REAL Pizza. A friend suggested I visit Piccola Italia and I've been hooked ever since. At least twice a week I can be found stuffing my face at my favorite booth.
Don't pay any attention to the negative posts.
They are being posted by a few former employees who were canned for failing to show up for work .
Try Piccola yourself. You won't regret it.
Pros: Great Service, Friendly Staff, Awesome Food
Cons: Closed Sunday

We went this past monday night....there was only about 10 other people there, if that.....It was 50 cents oyster night...so we enjoyed that.....There was only 1 server behind the oyster bar...so service was a little on the slow side....but he apologized for it repeatedly...and he was funny....and we didn't really mind....it gave us more time to watch the game that was on and enjoy the few date nights we actually get being so busy.....The oysters were good....it's not really 'in season' so they weren't gigantic, but i don't like it too big anyway....My husband had the fried seafood platter...the breading was a little bland, but there were two sauces to pick from....and it was a good bit of food too....I had the seafood newberg pasta.....very good....i get scared to order pasta out because it always ends up bland, but this was filled with flavor......oh, and from reading all the bad reviews....i was a little nervous using the gift certificate i bought from zspotlight for 1/2 price....but when i presented it....it was no problem.....our bill was $55.....we had 2 dozen oysters, a house salad, 2 entrees previously mentioned, a soda and a sweet tea.....All that for $55?? It was wonderful....Only the difference of $15 was charged to our card after the $40 certificate...and we tipped our server cash.......It's not a high class five star restaurant with 'stepford wives' type servers.....but its a good intimate date spot for seafood lovers......
Pros: 50 cent oysters!!
Cons: ambience is a little drab/depressing....
