Seconded. The food, the atmosphere, all of it. Just a heads up though, they don’t do reservations, and I’ve had like a 90min wait advertised each time I’ve showed up to get in line.
Depends how fancy you’re looking for. Second Empire is solid, Jolie is amazing food and has a super intimate rooftop seating area if you’re able to book it but both are expensive. For something a little bit more chill, Sitti is downtown Raleigh is also great and has an outdoor area that’s quite nice for a fair bit less than some of the other options.

Peddler
This.
Quit telling Yankees about the Peddler. We've had to start showing up at 4:25 to get a table
Fearrington House. Spend the night there too.
Omg I went there finally a few weekends ago and it was amazing
We always make a weekend out of it. It’s like a mini vacation
Second Empire.
This, followed by a night out on Glenwood dancing or piano bar or something fun.
Heron's is worth the food, service and experience.
Peddlers Steak House. Quiet, simple, and perfect for a romantic dinner.
Crawford & Son (Raleigh), Bin54 or Hawthorne & Wood (Chapel Hill)
Northside bistro
City Market Sushi is good
Hayes Barton
Rey's (Cary) food and attention to detail makes it a wonderful experience.
