Best restaurants near me in Hickory, NC

This was the perfect experience for my birthday. I will for sure be coming back to dine! Our server Charles did an amazing job!

Love this restaurant! The ambience is superb - very elegant. Wait staff friendly although it seemed like a couple more were needed. I’m A bit old-fashioned but I think for the elegance of the restaurant people should dress better. Although it was lunch, men in particular seem to dress down with baseball caps and T-shirts, but that seems to be the norm in society now. This is my second time dining at Limani. The first time was luncheon with the ladies. Today we celebrated my husband‘s birthday. He was very pleased and delighted. We will return.

RH Rooftop Review Service: Our server Leini was friendly, accommodating, and approachable. What stood out was the teamwork among the staff—other servers were willing to help, not just focused on their assigned tables. This collaborative effort truly enhanced the experience. Food: •Roadside Lobster Roll with Caviar (extra $$$): Absolutely phenomenal. The caviar perfectly complemented the lobster roll, adding a luxurious touch. The portion size is just right for fine dining and worth every bite. •Shaved Ribeye Dip: Delicious, though not particularly unique. While I enjoyed it, I found myself wishing I had ordered my wife’s lobster roll instead. Still, splitting two different dishes gave us the chance to explore the menu. Sides: Both the French fries and potato fries were great additions. They were satisfying and complemented the meals, especially when one dish had a smaller portion size. Dessert: The Banana Split with salted caramel was exceptional—fresh, flavorful, and downright indulgent. A must-try! Coffee: The Mocha Cappuccino with oat milk was disappointing. It tasted like stale brewed coffee. Unfortunately, I didn’t realize this until later since I took it to go, but it’s not something I’d order again. Overall: The experience was wonderful. I’d definitely return to enjoy the lobster roll with caviar, banana split dessert, and explore other menu options.

Terrific food and service! Our host Mansour provided unparalleled attention to detail. The beef and fish was absolutely delicious! Enjoyed celebrating our 32nd Wedding Anniversary at the Willow Creek Inn. You won’t be disappointed!

Had the date night meal for 2. Everything was cooked right and service was good. Placed was packed and seem overwhelming for the staff but they seemed to keep their heads straight and worked hard.
