Amy McDonald: Fresh, locally sourced menu. Also, admission to the permanent collection is free most of time time.
Chris Blasting: Pulled pork sandwich with brussels sprout and walnut slaw was delicious! And the homemade ice cream, yum! Friendly staff too!

jon accarrino: Great restaurant in downtown Raleigh with multiple dining areas. Perfect for special occasions or a nice night out. Ask to sit upstairs for a quieter experience and better view of the glass art wall..
Rachel Berg: Joey, the bartender, is awesome.
Caitlin Waters: Everything is good. Appetizers, good, dessert, and wine :)
