Second Empire
42nd St is really good but not necessarily "nice"

Sullivans

7/24/2008 3:43:33 PM

back home where i'm form...high point/thomasville. both are equally shitty.

7/24/2008 3:43:49 PM

Prime Only for sushi
Bogart's isnt bad
518 West is one of the best Italian places in the Triangle

7/24/2008 3:49:05 PM

^that place sucks

7/24/2008 3:49:47 PM

does it? never been but the rooftop dining seems cool

7/24/2008 3:50:19 PM

yeah i was really disappointed...seemed over rated as hell

I like Sullivans the best on Glenwood, then 518 I suppose just because my girlfriend works there.

Prime Only has some of the worst sushi around. Hell, even sushi blues is better then they are

^^ Why do you think it's that bad?

7/24/2008 3:54:19 PM

what can one expect to pay for a meal for two at sullivan's? kinda broke right now, but i'm not taking her to anywhere shitty for this.

$30-40 a person wouldn't be bad

7/24/2008 3:56:55 PM

well i got a coupon for dinner of 2 for 69 and the people at work say thats good so you do the math

[Edited on July 24, 2008 at 3:58 PM. Reason : 3 course dinner for 2 for $69...i'm guessing it would normally be like 80-100?]

7/24/2008 3:57:36 PM

caffe luna
duck and dumpling

7/24/2008 3:58:30 PM

cafe luna? seriously?

7/24/2008 3:59:39 PM

^^^kinda what i expected

7/24/2008 4:00:40 PM

pm Skwinkle...she is very thrifty and is all the time getting coupons to restaurants etc...i bet she could help you out

7/24/2008 4:04:19 PM

18 Seaboard is pretty good.

7/24/2008 4:06:40 PM

"Favorite restaurants: “I’ve got two: Maximillians Grill (http://www.maximilliansgrill.com; 919-465-2455) serves very upscale stuff you would not expect to find in Raleigh. It’s more like what you’d find in a bigger city. They change the menu frequently, which adds to its charm. Anytime people come to visit, we take them there. We also love Peak City Grill & Bar (http://www.thepeakcitygrill.com; 919-303-8001). They have a great Sunday brunch, and special wine tastings and pairing nights.”"

[Edited on August 4, 2008 at 10:14 AM. Reason : ^idk just doesnt seem like that great of a place to go for what this person wants]

Shaba Shabu's pretty good, since you suggested venturing somewhere else...It's on wake forest rd

8/4/2008 10:16:52 AM

i wasn't paying either so idk

8/4/2008 10:17:02 AM

i used to cook at seaboard. i would recommend it, most of the staff is pretty talented.

for good food, i would suggest.

enoteca vin
pooles
18 seaboard

8/4/2008 10:18:51 AM

I have a similar situation next month. Has anyone ever been to The Mint?

8/4/2008 11:04:32 AM

^^idk maybe i went at a bad time...there were flies flying around our table/food, and it just seemed really over rated...menu was too small and meh too

8/4/2008 11:05:51 AM

were you on the mezzanine?

i had a friend work at the Mint, can't comment on the food, but the crowd is sorta uppity.

8/4/2008 11:09:23 AM

THE MINT

she'll love it

8/4/2008 11:10:03 AM

whats the mezzanine? once you walk past the bar area, we were on the left...on the inside of the wall that seperates the bathrooms from the dinner area

8/4/2008 11:11:16 AM

I really like Cafe' Luna its not as expensive as you're looking for unless you get wine etc. but the food is amazing and the atmosphere is awesome too.

8/4/2008 11:30:18 AM

8/4/2008 11:33:13 AM

I loved 18Seaboard when I ate there! The food was really yummy, and we sat outside.

8/4/2008 11:41:50 AM

the cupcake shoppe on glenwood (side closer to snoopy's) is really cute for dates!

8/4/2008 11:50:10 AM

now if i can only find a nice lady...

8/4/2008 11:55:30 AM

oh yum...a cupcake shop!!

I forgot about that place. Hmmmm

8/4/2008 11:57:03 AM

Doesn't jeremy clayman own the mint or at least part of it? I thought that's the restaurant he opened when he left our restaurant but I could be mistaken

8/4/2008 12:59:12 PM
