Absolutely delicious! We have dined with them several times, had terrific specials every time, good service, and never had to wait to get seated. This is my favorite restaurant in Cary. I’m delighted to try the different specials. We took a friend there who dines out in four and five star restaurants weekly (part of his job – fortunately for him). He had a veal dish that he dubbed the best veal he has ever tasted. I look forward to many more delicious meals with them.
Pros: Delicious!!!

...because of the shocking recent poor reviews my fiancee and I saw. It is a bit pricey, though we each got a special. There are several items around $20 or so, and if you don't get alcohol and/or appetizer, it'd be a moderately priced dinner. We started with the Meze Trio appetizer, which had hummus, pureed eggplant (not babaghanouj, but basically it was), and a feta/red pepper puree served with pitas. All were wonderful, especially putting all 3 together on a pita. My fiancee ordered the New York Strip special, which she ordered medium, which was pepper crusted and served with shrimp on top and golden mashed potatoes. She said the steak was cooked exactly the way she liked it and she enjoyed it very much. I had a taste also and the pepper crust was very strong and the steak was very moist and tender. I ordered the veal chop special, topped with carmelized onions and served with a sweet potato mash. I am no food connosieur by any means and I do at times roll my eyes when restaurants tout how wonderful their food pairings are, but this I actually could taste and attest to how the onions heightened the flavor of the veal and, since they were carmelized, went perfectly with the sweet potatoes (which is my favorite veggie anyway). We did not get dessert, though they looked spectacular. I will admit that the waiter did forget our bread until after we had our entrees, and you do only get 2 small pieces, but we had an appetizer as it is, so we didn't miss the bread, and I am a huge bread fan and have been known to spoil my dinner appetite on pre-entree bread. The bill, including 2 glasses of wine, was $95. Again, these specials basically were just as much or more than the most expensive regular entree, so isn't necessarily indicative of a normal dinner there. But it was far worth it because it was one of the best dinners I, and my fiancee admits to as well, have ever had. We would definitely go back and recommend it to anyone and everyone.
Pros: Food, Attentive and Thorough Waiter
Cons: A bit pricey, ambience is average - not really romantic (food compensates)
