    Great spot for lunch. I was worried the food would be too heavy, but it was great.

    Service was great! The food tasted incredible! And the prices are a bit below average when compared to other restaurants in the area of the same class. My wife and I have been going for years and it is still our favorite in Raleigh! We were glad to make a reservation because that day was a bit busier than we expected it!

    Food was absolutely great. The vodka ravioli is an excellent dish, the sauce couldn’t have been better.

    Great value for food and great service. Only negative aspects were the tables felt very crammed together (where it was difficult to move around) and every time the door opened you could feel the cold air significantly.

    Gravy is always a favorite date night spot for us! It was even sweeter being able to celebrate Valentine’s Day there! Cannot recommend Gravy enough!

    I've eaten at Gravy several times over the last 8 or 9 years. This was large and by far the worst service experience I've had there. In general, this was probably in the bottom 10% of all of my service experiences at a restaurant of this caliber. The server kept forgetting about our table. On multiple occasions they would apologize for the poor service and then go back to delivering more poor service. There's either an issue with the work load that every server is given or this individual did a poor job. Can't say the food was good enough to recover from that, I think Gravy is off my dining list now.
