(Asian Fusion): After all the years and hipster joints to go out of business, Five-Star is still the straight up shiz. I don't know how they've managed to do it year after year; but if you're looking for a place to take a first date or you just want to get wasted and see what happens...Five star rocks the 90's...in a good way.

I recently visited The Office nightclub after not being there in a while. To my suprise, the entire club was redone. There is an all new vip area with couches and a bar right in the middle. The atmosphere is very friendly and the people that go there are fun to be around. The club is very upscale and the interior is gorgeous! If you havent been to the office lately I highly suggest checking out the new additions and remodeling! The weekends there are alot of fun, its always packed and the music is awesome.
Pros: ambience, parking, drinks, staff, service, interior

Walking down Glenwood, biding time till Monday Night Football, decided to check this place out. Menu looked good, winelist looked better. Staff was very friendly and quick.
I'm not a little guy, but I was very happy with the portion sizes. Had the special, an absolutely delicious Rabbit Ragu with Mushrooms and Sweet Potato Gnocci. Delicately seasoned and well balanced, savory and sweet. It was definitely the whole package.
I encourage you to come on Monday Nights (Half Dollar Bottle 'O Wine), try the special, and chat with the staff about what's excellent, what's in season, and what was sourced from the owner's own farm. I'll be the guy in the brown leather jacket, because I am definitely becoming a regular!
Pros: Friendly Staff, Excellent Wine List
Cons: Very tempted to stay all night!

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

Imperial Garden is truly amazing for Chinese food in Raleigh. The atmosphere is low-key, but the food is authentic and very good. This is the best Chinese food by far that I have experienced in Raleigh. The shopping center tucked behind trees on Lead Mine Road is easy to miss, but once you find the restaurant, you are sure to find a crowd. The service is also very good and pleasant. I have really enjoyed everything I have eaten here. The food is fresh, not greasy, and feels very healthy.

My best friend recently got married. I served as her maid of honor and accompanied her on all appointments and shopping excursions. She bought her dress from Bridal Boutique of Raleigh and I couldn't be more pleased with the experience.
Even though the dress she bought was a store-sample they were clearing out, they never treated her as a second-class customer. Beware that there are extra fees (which they offer to turn into a package, which we took) for fittings, but this seems to be the norm for bridal shops. They were happy to adjust and tweak alterations until she was very pleased with the results, and all of the work was just *beautiful*. The staff was very helpful with picking out accessories that would go well with the dress and supportive of whatever the bride decided (even when it meant that she would not be purchasing some pieces from them). Everything was ready when promised.
For another friend's wedding, two of the bridesmaids realized Thursday night before a Saturday wedding that their dresses needed to be re-altered. The staff was willing to rush the necessary alterations and arrange for a pickup by another person. The new alterations were ready when promised and still excellent work under the rushed schedule.
If I ever marry while living in this area, I will certainly use this boutique. Even though discount stores and outlets may be cheaper, every bride I know who has used this shop has been pleased with the great level of customer service.
