- HHeatherGoldVirginia •8 reviews5.0Dined 6 days agoWe celebrated my daughter’s birthday over lunch. Wonderful experience. The food was perfection, and the service was exceptional. We shared the burrata as an appetizer with a bottle of rosé Crémant. My daughter had the lobster, and I had the ribeye dip sandwich. We shared the butterscotch crème brûlée for dessert. Whitney, our waiter was knowledgeable, friendly, and engaging. We will definitely be back.More infoRH Rooftop Restaurant at RH Raleigh$$$$• American• Raleigh•4.7
- EElizabethGoldWashington, D.C. Area •47 reviews5.0Dined 7 days agoOur server, Tristan, was attentive and professional all evening. We appreciated that he stepped in for another server who was busy with a large party celebrating a birthday nearby. Our food was good, the bang bang shrimp, tuna with tempura crunch, a salmon with Asian sauces and a scallop and salmon pasta. Drinks were also nice - pineapple martini and dirty martini. We didn’t have dessert, so cannot recommend either way.More infoBonefish Grill - Fayetteville NC$$$$• Seafood• Fayetteville•4.3
