Businiess name:  Second Empire Restaurant & Tavern
Review by:  citysearch c.
Review content: 
I took my husband here to celebrate our 3rd Anniversary. I would not say that we are well travelled in fine dining, but we are making our way there slowly. I stumbled across this restaurant in citysearch and read the reviews and thought, this place sounds great to take my husband. So we went, and it was UNBELIEVABLY AMAZING! We had a great time. The service was wonderful. The food was delicious. The portions were so generous, we were stuffed before the main course got there! The ambience was perfect (The decorations were lovely and the tables were spaced perfectly!). When I called ahead to make the reservations, I let them know that this would be an anniversary dinner, and they were most accomodating (They printed us up a special menu, just for us to take home, and it was signed by the chefs of the evening. When it was time for dessert we were given a beautiful congratulations display. It was wonderful, and I'm glad to have keepsakes!). The restaurant is above and beyond anything I thought was possible in the Durham/Raleigh area. I was very pleased, and we will return (again, and again!). I already told several friends about it. As you can tell, the experience was magnificent. The wait staff was very pleasing. They were very friendly (not upitty or rude), very knowledgeable about what they were serving, and very attentive, but not too attentive that you can't have your privacy (you know what I mean). After we left, my husband and I were talking about how amazing everything was, and we were talking about our servers and how they came at the perfect time every time! It was as if they knew exactly when they were going to be needed every time! Please note, this is a special occasion restaurant. And if you are in a hurry, this is not the place for you. It is meant to really enjoy the evening, and relax, and really take in every course, and enjoy the meal with the special ones you are with! So take this knowledge and make the best of it! Enjoy! Pros: Ambience, Food, Service Cons: I didn't know about this place sooner! :-)
