Good: Dr. Berlin takes the time during every appointment to go over all of the details and Q&A required for a thorough treatment plan. He treats me for both diabetes and hypothroidism...and has both under control. His recomendation for a surgeon was spot on and I was able to have an intricate thyoidectomy without any complications.. Bad: The office staff initially appeared to be disorganized (summer of '08), but they have hired a new office manager who is really making a difference. You can already see a significant improvement in the attention to detail and customer service.. Other: I can't imagine going to another endocrinologist..

This place has great barbecue and a great homey atmosphere. All the tables are usually full here at lunch time. You usually only have to wait a short time to get a table. The staff is wonderful, always cracking some kind of joke. They have daily specials and the Brunswick stew is always delicious. They serve sandwiches and plates with vegetables. There are always complementary hush puppies served as you are seated.

This is the best place for pizza in raleigh. Unfortunately everyone knows it, just try to get in on a Friday night. The parking is terrible there but the food more than makes up for it once you get it. This place is overrun with college kids though.
Pros: Pizza
Cons: Crowded, Parking

I've heard of this place but never tried until this past weekend. I was thrilled. Live music while we dined and then after dinner, the band transformed to a dance band. They moved the tables from the center and the restaurant was transformed to a supper club with dining and dancing. The food was excellent and great prices. Terrific wine list very well priced. We enjoyed the evening specials, Paella and Shrimp Pollenta. This is not just for vegetarians. This restaurant is for anyone looking for a special evening with an inviting atmosphere and lots of fun.
Pros: Live entertainment and dancing on Saturday
Cons: decor is outdated

I wonder why NEAL2ZOD wrote a bad review about us, we have not served any of that food for atleast 4-5 months. Also we are not Playmakers at all, we are The Brickhouse Sports Bar, new name, new atmosphere, new owner's, and new wait staff. So before you write a review make sure you know what you are talking about.

My husband and I started frequenting Oliver Twist for our date nights before we were even married. as its one of our favorite spots to dine. It didn’t matter if we were celebrating or having a relaxing night out. We have been to the variety shows enjoying the live music, watched the exotic belly dancers and even attended some of their events. Oliver Twist is so versatile! The tapas are excellent and the Martinis delicious! The staff is always pleasant and the service is great! Perfect place for an intimate night out or for a gathering with friends! We loved Oliver Twist so much we even had our wedding reception there. There wasn’t much need for decorating as Oliver Twist has the perfect decor and atmosphere. It’s naturally setup for an intimate dining experience with lounge seating which invites people to sit down and have a conversation over a glass of wine. The Staff was amazing. I didn’t have to worry about anything. We met with Steve, Alex and the Chef to explore the list of possibilities for the reception seating, set-up, and dining experience. Everyone was very accommodating. They stayed in touch with us and responded to all our questions. So when the big day came there were no last minute stressors. The food was excellent, the staff was as always accommodating, and it was our perfect day. People still compliment us on how much they enjoyed the reception at Oliver Twist! We still go for our date nights and bring new people to enjoy this special place!
Pros: Atmosphere, Tapas, Martini & Wine List, Staff
Cons: None

I love this independent bookstore! They are the premier place in Raleigh for author readings and book signings. Their selection is excellent. They even carry imported British mysteries and Dover thrift classics (so you can pick up school reading quite cheap!). The selection of reading-related gifts is nice. The staff is very helpful and willing to help track down a book you're interested in. The selection of local authors is very strong. They often have more than one edition of a book available, great if you're looking for a nice hardback edition of a classic or a paperback just for a course.
The children's book selection is very nice; I am particularly impressed with the large variety of board books (including the GIANT board books), bathtub books, and foreign-language children's books.

My husband and I have three small children and get a night out to ourselves about once a month. We always discuss where we're going to go and always end up at the Hibernian! Neither of us are drinkers but we love the atmosphere and most of all the food (the fish and chips are to die for)! It's also great to be able to show up at 6:00 on a Saturday night, be seated right away (almost always at our regular booth), get our food promptly, have a great meal, and be done in time to catch the early movie. Since the bar's not really jumping until later in the evening, it's relatively quiet around dinner time unless there's a big game on. Some reviewers have complained that the waitresses lack "warmth". Personally, I'm glad they're not bugging you all the time! They keep your drink filled, bring what you need, and leave you to enjoy it. I'd rather be talking to my husband, not the waitress! To the owners and staff, keep doing what you're doing and we'll keep coming back! We consider this OUR place!
Oh yeah, I also recommend the potato and leek soup and the chicken cordon bleu!
Pros: Great food! Prompt seating and service! Great atmosphere!
Cons: Parking

I got this great drink in the Wine cellar, great for all you ladies. It's called an Outer Banks Martini. It's made with Crown and I don't know what else. The service was great and both of the bars are totally relaxed and you can eat your whole meal there. Overall this place has awesome food, service, and atmosphere....
Pros: the barstaff was great, the food was great,
Cons: there were people smoking

Great food and drink menu.
I have had consistently good service every time I go.
Rarely does a chef care what I think, Azitra's came out to see personally. Nice touch
Pros: Best Indian I have eaten since I lived in NYC
Cons: Too far from my house. Open one Downtown or North Raleigh
