The Finest Raleigh Has to Offer
5 Star Rating: Highly Recommended

04/15/2007 Posted by big1intown

I can confidently say that one of my best dining experiences was at Second Empire. I ordered the specials of that day, which was the fois gras appetizer and a filet mignon that was even better than the one on their menu. The waiter was very professional and accommodating and not at all snobby as I'd expected. The dishes were absolutely phenomenal. Everything on the dish was there for a reason and gave the dish a very balanced taste. The chocolate souffle was very tasty as well. I highly recommend this restaurant for any romantic occasion. I cannot wait to dine there again.

Pros: Food, superb wine list, well-trained staff, and parking

For a look at the Dodd-Hinsdale house at half the price, dine downstairs at the more casual Tavern.
