Best Fine Dining Restaurants in Raleigh

6th visit. Treated me so sweetly for my birthday. Loved Kelly and her pens. Top notch staff and restaurant

First time there and it was an amazing experience. Our waiter was highly knowledgeable and offered excellent recommendations. We got the pork belly, Philly egg rolls, 2 steaks 1 ribeye and another a filet. Also did the flight of butters which was incredible.

I love frequenting Capital Grille; It’s a place where my husband and I decompress and enjoy fine dining.

Delicious food & a beautiful ambiance- gorgeous restaurant. The absolute best butter chicken I’ve ever tasted ! Stunningly plated dishes… the owners & chef even visited our table to say hello & ask how we enjoyed our meal. So very classy- it was such a nice end to a fabulous meal. A must see if you are in the Triangle area- best Indian Restaurant in North Carolina! This restaurant was also voted one of the 50 most beautiful restaurants in America. Must see- wonderful experience.

Last night, my husband and I had the pleasure of dining at RH Rooftop to celebrate our anniversary, and it was an unforgettable experience! We had made the reservation about a month ago, and the anticipation was absolutely worth it. From the moment we walked in, we were struck by how beautiful the restaurant was. The ambience was elegant, with perfect lighting that set a warm and romantic tone. Our waiter, Ethan, made the evening even more special with his attentive and kind service. He truly went above and beyond to ensure we felt celebrated and cared for. We started with the crispy artichokes and mini lobster rolls with caviar, both of which were absolutely delightful and set the tone for the meal. For our main courses, we ordered the charred ribeye and the broiled king salmon. The ribeye was cooked to perfection, with a perfect char and tenderness, and the salmon was equally impressive—moist, flavorful, and cooked just right. Our sides, truffle fries and charred broccolini, were equally amazing and complemented our dishes perfectly. We also appreciated that the portion sizes were just right—not too much and not too little—leaving us completely satisfied without feeling overwhelmed.Dessert was the perfect ending to our meal. We initially ordered strawberries and cream, which was light and refreshing, but Ethan surprised us with an additional treat: a heavenly butterscotch brûlée! To make it even sweeter, the desserts weren’t added to our bill—a thoughtful gesture that truly made us feel special.For drinks, I ordered peppermint leave tea, which was wonderfully soothing, along with honey, lemon/lime, and a side of San Pellegrino. It was such a lovely touch to have everything just as I requested. Overall, everything about our experience was perfect—the service, the stunning atmosphere, the perfectly portioned food, and the incredible attention to detail. Ethan’s exceptional hospitality and the restaurant’s thoughtful gestures made our anniversary so memorable!
