Todd E.Todd Engle: The Old Fashion is the best! Great place to go for drinks and tapas before heading out to dinner! Ambience and music good too!

Rich O.Rich O'Brien: The food is really a disappointment . Way overpriced and the quality is poor. Had the charcuterie last night and what was served was truly a cold cut plate. Cheese slice quartered and some curly ham

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

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