On a recent trip to one of our new favorite tapas spots, Blue Martini, we discovered that once again another great, innovative and unique food spot has caved to the so-so tastes of the triangle college-bar crowd. A tapas menu that consisted of quail, steak, talapia and many other delicious dishes has been replaced by chicken wings, fish & chips, burgers and hot wings. Its true - what made this a great little tapas spot is no longer. The martini menu seemed to be slightly different, but it was the menu that blew us away. When we first visited Blue Martini it seemed like just what Raleigh needed, but unfortunately they have given in to the pressures to sell the plain-jane food that seems to do so well in this area. You can check this off the list of unique dining spots.
Pros: Martini selection, Inexpensive
Cons: No more tapas, Limited parking
