    We decided to try something new and happened on this gem. The food was so delicious we vowed to our wonderful server that we would soon return. Looking forward to trying a new dish next time - so many to choose from. The Chef came out and spoke with us. Highly recommend.

    Food was amazing! Chicken Saltamboca special was delicious and a very generous portion. Our friends who were visiting from NJ requested if chef could make mozzarella en carozza, which was not on the menu and chef presented a beautifully plated order for her! She was delighted. Such a wonderful staff and a lovely evening with friends!

    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
