H6, that sounds like a good idea! I'm all up for that . Did you decide on where to go with the missus?? Frogger
I get to go out for dinner this weekend too! I'm thinking Red Lobster though, I love those cheese biscuits!
Or possibly the Melting Pot. My hubby took me for my BD. It's a different experience. You must make reservations, they stay pretty booked up.
We did the MP. Was OK...not as impressed as we hoped to be. Also Shaba Shabu..ok..but not enough for a special date... still looking
It does sound like something different. Does C6 like that kind of food? Might be worth looking into. Frogger
Looking at D&D as a possible option, as opposed to the usuals. Few days left to get a reservation, and I tend to work better under the gun..lol
Jimmy V's has great food. One of the best Steaks I have had. I am an Executive Chef and a Tarheel Fan and this says alot if I like Jimmy V's. Its not a wine and dine place but nice atmosphere. If your looking for a gourmet meal Maximillions is the place that I love in Cary. Its kinda crowded and not a big bar but the food is out of this world. If you like something romantic there is a restaurant next to Bonefish in Raliegh at North Hills. Forget the name something like 318 Mahogany???SORRY. They have a nice 4th generation sourdough as a app. Have fun!
EVOO in N. Raleigh, outstanding Bentley's on Walnut St. Cary = Chef has created his own menu with steaks/seafood/to die for deserts, $20-25 per person without drinks.
There is also Nana's in Durham. I have known people to come from as far as California to eat there. It is an odd location for such a popular place, but the food was good and the wine selection was excellent according to the wine importer with whom I ate.
restaurants My favorite restaurants: Mo's Diner (downtown Raleigh) Bloomsbury Bistro (www.bloomsburybistro.com) Sullivan's (www.sullivansteakhouse.com) Second Empire (http://second-empire.com/secondempire/home.html) 518 West (www.518west.com) Vivace (www.vivaceraleigh.com) These are wonderful for special occasions.
we went there for Mother's Day... Ask for Bernard to be your server! He was the BEST waiter I have ever had in my life. You would have thought we were celebrities the way he treated us. Didn't miss a beat and off the charts top class!:!::!:
