Mike Brown: Breakfast is always great, perfect sunny side up eggs everytime. French dip, cheesesteak, pot roast, pot pie, and more have all been great.
Mike Brown: Looking to step up your cocktail game? Need a gift/stocking stuffer for someone hip? This is your place! My bar has about 10 of their bitters & a few shrubs, all superb additions.
Mike Brown: Probably the best restaurant in Raleigh. Loved what Scott Crawford was doing at Standard Foods but this is a step up. If there is one dish you must get, then it has to be the Charred Octopus. KILLER!
Mike Brown: I walk through every quarter looking for new gift ideas. Jewelry, art, fashion, soaps, décor, books, etc. Trendy goods curated by good taste. Wife always happy with what I bring home from here.

Mike Brown: Great date night spot. Food is & wine that is affordable yet interesting and tasteful. Go for wine flights to try wines outside your comfort range. Find a few you like then buy a mixed case for home.

Italian Restaurant · 3 tips and reviews
Mike Brown: Pizza is killer, best crust in the area. Get the meatball appetizer so you can enjoy great red sauce & meatballs without the extra 1,000 calories spaghetti adds.
Mike Brown: One of the largest bottle selections in Raleigh. 18 taps with great variety and beer exposure. Cornerstone spot for north Raleigh beer nerds.
