    Another excellent experience at Sullivans! We wanted to impress our guests about the food and ambiance of Sullivans. That desire was satisfied. Our compliments to management, wait staff and the Chef.

    This was a wonderful dining experience. The focal point is the stunning skyline view of downtown Raleigh. As we enjoyed the view we sipped wine and enjoyed freshly made pasta. My dish was a parmesan risotto with scallops in brown butter. This was a special and was mouthwatering. Dessert was the Tortina, a chocolate pastry accompanied by strawberries and gelato. To close our meal we had a complimentary Prosecco. This is a wonderful restaurant and bar. We look forward to returning in warm weather when we can enjoy the outside deck.

    Mulino is a wonderful place for a meal! My son and I took my wife here to celebrate her birthday and we were not disappointed. The decor and ambiance in an old mill provided a great atmosphere. Our server JoElla was friendly and very knowledgeable of all the selections on the menu. My wife and son had the gnocci and I ate the Picci with scallops added. Everything was perfect! I would highly recommend Mulino to anyone.

    First experience at Bhavana. Made reservations, seated quickly. Server was Octavio. Engaging, attentive went above and beyond. Food was good, rice congee, chicken lomein, crab ragoon and bbq bao, cocktails on point, chocolate turtle cake. An excellent overall experience. A little pricey but you are not just paying for food but for service and atmosphere. Great place for date night or a celebration not a simple weeknight family meal kind of place.
