Dined August 23, 2011 during Downtown Raleigh Restaurant week for the 3 course prix fixe menu. Hostess was just awful both coming in and leaving. All she had to do was smile and take us to our table! She was curt & sullen-- could not squeeze out a smile for our coming OR going! Naturally it was crowded- had to wait over 10 minutes to get water. The Bruchetta was the best I've ever had, the mixed grill was great. Dessert was just ok. Wine was good. Overall food was very, very good and a good value BUT the musical entertainment was not good and was WAY, WAY too loud. The main girl (who was the least talented) had her family there cheering her but volume was out of control and did not allow discussion between me and my guest. Soft canned music would have been far better than lousy live act at too high volume.
