I was in Raleigh last week on business and happened to have the opportunity to dine at Bogart's. The experience was incredible. The service from the time my party and I walked in the door to the time we left was impecable. We actually took a table on the patio so we could enjoy a couple of cigars and enjoyed the live music provided by Kyle and Eric. I had the Filet which was soft as butter and I highly recommend the Sweet Potatoes as a side, I have got to get that recipe. I look forward to dining here again when I am back in town!

My friend has been talking about the Bogart’s Sunday brunch for years now, and I finally had the opportunity to go. They have live jazz music and stations for freshly cooked waffles, omelets, pancakes, and French toast! I tried a veggie omelet and Peanut butter and banana pancakes, which were amazing. I ended up being too full to try the chocolate fondue fountain but did manage to make room for a mimosa from their beverage station, and that was equally satisfying.

Pros: Variety - there was something for everyone

My husband and I have gone to this place a few times. We usually go there on special occasions. I have never had a problem with it. The food is excellent, service is awesome, ambiance is lovely. The pricing is a little steep, but it's well worth it. I especially enjoy the martini's. They have such a variety, you'll never get bored.

Pros: Excellent Martinis, Great Food, Great Service.

Cons: none

I wasn't too impressed by this place. The food was average, not great not bad. The atmosphere was great, I suppose this is what you are actually paying for.

Pros: Ambience

Cons: Average Food

Went to the Brunch on October 28, 2007 right as they opened at 10:30 AM. The food selection was very good. The culinary balence of each item was very well done. Good Shrimp and Grits, great Mac and Cheese, and great dessert selection. The only problem was that the ready to eat selections (The items served in the buffet trays) were all room temperature. This included the bacon, shrimp and grits, the dessert chocolate, the jambellia, etc. Call me crazy, but I kinda expect my warm food to be warm. I would give the restaurants buffet a 4 star, but the lack of warm food was disturbing, thus 2 stars.

This place gets better everytime we go. My finance' took me here for our first date 4 years ago. I love all the Rocky Top Hospitailty restarauants. You guys are awesome. We went Satruday night and they turned the night around for us. The bartenders have seen us in there before and they always remember us. I had been denied service in another location in Raleigh Saturday night so we went to Bogart's where the bartenders knew I was over 21. The martini selection is awesome and the best in Raleigh. Keep up the good work! We will always be back!

Pros: Martini's!

Cons: Can't think of a thing.

My husband and I celebrated our 10th Wedding Anniversary with 40 of our closest family members and friends on this past Saturday, May 19, 2007. The wait staff was perfect, and always there ready to serve in a timely matter. The food was excellent, and you got right amount for the money. And the patio was just beautiful. I could not have asked for a more beautiful atmosphere. This night was everything that I ever wished and dreamed of and more. After such a beautiful dinner, my party followed up with late night dancing. We enjoyed everything from the beginning to the end. It was nice to have everything accessible to you at one location. And because of my personal catering director, Kevin DeHimer and his co-workers, my Anniversary dinner will be the talk of the town for years to come. I am still on cloud nine, four days later. You all made me feel like a newly wed again. If you are ever in the need for some late night romance , whether it is just you and your significant other or a huge party, Bogarts is the place to go. And use the patio. At night it is beautiful. Thank you Kevin, Rocky Top Hospitality, and Bogarts for everything. I will definitely use you again. I LOVE YOU GUYS. - The Murphys

Pros: Ambience, food, service

We went to Bogart's on Saturday May 12th. We ordered the Carolina Crab Dip. The dip had allmost no flavor. All that you could taste was the herbed parmesan pita. I ordered the Pan "Seared" Atlantic Salmon. The salmon was over cooked and bland. My daughter had the ribeye steak which was very average and certainly not worth $25.99. My had the Shrimp and Grits which again was average a best, not near as good as a similar dish at the Glenwood Grill. We eat out on the average as twice a week. We have been to many fine dining restaurants. Bogart's is not one of them.

I was introduced to Bogarts during a girls night out. This was not the best experience. The food was horrible put had the prettiest names. I only enjoyed my water and martini. If you are looking for good food, to me this is not the place, but the drinks can keep coming.

Pros: Drinks

Cons: food
