Now Accepting Reservations For July 9th and beyond,
The crew from Northside Bistro are now going to provide some amazing Italian cuisine, Top notch Steaks, and delightful seafood. Expect to see some of the great cooks and friendly staff you expect at Northside along with some great new team members we are excited to introduce to the area.
Chef John and his team are excited to bring you some takes on classic Italian cuisine along with some expected twists and turns to keep things current and we will always hunt for the highest quality ingredients we can find. Service promises to be warm and inviting never taking our focus off the details that matter while still keeping it fun and light hearted.
The decor here at Encore is a polished but comfy, the environment will create great energy and a sense of community but still provide some romantic corners for a Romantic evening with loved ones.
Carol and John are so excited to bring their second offering to the North Raleigh area!

    Encore has become our favorite restaurant especially for special events. The wait staff is incredibly friendly, knowledgeable and helpful, and the food is some of the best we have experienced in our visits to most of the top restaurants in the triangle. Particularly, I don't believe I have tasted a better lasagna anywhere and my wife had the tuna dish and she is very picky but thought it was delicious.

    My husband and I love the restaurant northside bistro, but since we live in Wake Forest, it’s not always a restaurant we can frequent as often. I was looking for a new restaurant, and I came across encore and realized that they had an association with northside bistro, which is my husband‘s favorite restaurant. We were very excited to try it. We shared the muscles and I got the Aji tuna dish and my husband got the lasagna and ended with a great dessert of chocolate cinnamon gelato. All the food was amazing. We definitely will be back again and excited to see how this business will thrive. The service was amazing. Everybody was very friendly and did a great job

    Just a lovely lunch. My pal has a pepper allergy. They were so accommodating. She loved her salad. Nice vibe and our server I think it was William was fantastic. We were treated like special family members! I’ll be back. Big fan of Northside.

    I love the good at this restaurant but the lunch portions were very small and the value for the money was just not there. The dinner portions are more in proportion to the price. Please be more generous at lunch.
