We were a party of four at a table indoors on a Tuesday evening. Had such an enjoyable experience with the restaurant manager and very helpful staff. We enjoyed two different red wines — both were just delicious! Very relaxing place located in a great spot at Fenton in Cary. Highly recommend!

My husband and I came here for a date on a Friday. We had a wonderful experience at this restaurant and would absolutely recommend it to anyone looking for incredible food and warm hospitality. We arrived around 8:15pm and, while the kitchen was clearly slammed (it took about 45 minutes for our food to arrive), the servers and owners were attentive and kind throughout. In fact, the owner even comped one of our wine flights—which was such a thoughtful gesture and definitely not expected. The food? Absolutely worth the wait. Every dish we tried was outstanding. The lamb was perfectly cooked, the meatballs were rich and flavorful, and the pear Gorgonzola pizza was a surprising standout—savory, sweet, and totally addictive. If you're thinking about going, do it. Just maybe plan for a little extra time if it's later in the evening. It’s clear they care deeply about their guests and the quality of their food. We'll definitely be back!

The kitchen that night was particularly slow. Our server was frustrated as well. Even the wine flight took 20-25 minutes to come out . The food was just ok. The tenderloin came out cold and the rest was just ok. Perhaps an off night. The staff was very friendly and welcoming so it’s a shame their kitchen doesn’t deserve a repeat.

My new favorite spot in Raleigh! Great location and vibe. Outdoor seating was perfect for a spring evening. There is an impressive and extensive wine selection but don’t worry- Devan and Maddy can help you find delicious pours no matter what your tastes! The food was great. We tried the burrata (pistachio took it to the next level), beet salad (bright, fresh, delish!) and the pear & gorgonzola pizza. Everything came out quickly and was photo worthy! This was my first visit and definitely won’t be my last!

Our server was great and understanding. It may have been the owner, but he was very loud and easily interrupted conversation. The food was just ok. I had to send back my appetizer and my main dish for other dishes. Some items they really missed the mark on. I would recommend taste testing the food before sending it out. I wish this was better, because the potential is there.

Service was very slow, our server kept forgetting drinks we ordered, steak & eggs came out but eggs nowhere to be found, some pieces of steak were completely raw and not edible. Maybe it was the holiday (Mother’s Day) but it was not a good dining experience at all. I won’t be returning. Not every restaurant should offer a Mother’s Day brunch, and this is probably one of them, which is totally okay.

Went for Mother’s Day brunch. To be fair not their normal menu. Food was horrible. Seemed like food was sitting around. Had to ask for salt and pepper shakers since avocado toast was bland. Poached eggs served on most dishes and were hard. Servers were standing around staring instead of helping tables. Bar tenders kept touching their hair, playing around with cups while bored then made drinks with same glasses they were playing with. Won’t be going back for a special occasion.
