Dave A.Dave Andrews: what's not good here? Pricey, but worth it

Jennifer D.Jennifer D.: Service not as good as usual. Very slow. Ostrich appetizer, which is usually very good, was a bit overdone and a little bit on the skimpy side. Hubby's crab claws were very good, though.

Orv C.Orv Curry: Upstairs lounge for Angus Barn. AWESOME!!! Read more.

Jo Ellen R.Jo Ellen Raley: Delicious! Filet bacon wrapped, Oscar style, Gouda potatoes and Creme Brule!

Michael H.Michael Huber: Cowboy steak is a great deal at a 32+ ounce bone in meal. Pricey but when made well this is a great piece of meat.

Winston K.Winston Kirby: How does this place not have a better rating!? Best steak in Raleigh hands down. Much better than Sullivan's or AB. Get the fries or the gouda potato with your fries.

Chris A.Chris Anderson: Fish and Chips were best I've had. Sweet potato bisque was worthy of bathing. Everything was fantastic.

Anil D.Anil Dash: The menu says duck breast, but the collards & beans underneath are a revelation. Also a must-order is the sweetbreads as a starter. One of the best meals I've ever had in Raleigh.

Lisa J.Lisa Jeffries: Weak vegetarian offerings (one small plate salad, one pasta entree) but a robust libations menu with craft offerings

Grace F.Grace Fenstermaker: Peppercorn curry-leaf chicken was fantastic. So was the chili garlic naan. Great Indian food close to RDU.

Sonja F.Sonja Foust: Lunch chicken tikka masala is the clear winner. Save a few bites to take home because they give you lots of extra naan to take, too!

Doug C.Doug Curtin: Curry (all of them) and naan

Daniel P.Daniel Pisciottano: Great draft selection and solid - albeit sometimes emulated - vintage game selection. I'd imagine vintage cabinets cost lots o'cash. Either way, awesome 'brotime' spot.

Jameson S.Jameson Staples: I love playing air hockey! The vibe is awesome. Pick up a can of Not Your Father's Root Beer and have a sweet time.

Justin B.Justin Bauer: Went here again a couple months after opening and they have doubled the number of machines and replaced a lot of the emulated ones. Good experience and good prices! $3 drafts on Tuesday.
