   * [[https://brewerybhavana.com/|Brewery Bhavana]] - dim sum and beer. Half of the restaurant is a brewery and the other half is dining, with a cafe-like space in the middle. Probably the best Asian food you can get in Raleigh and a thoughtful selection of beer. Not cheap but worth it.   * [[https://brewerybhavana.com/|Brewery Bhavana]] - dim sum and beer.

   * [[https://restaurantjolie.com/|Jolie]] - French bistro. Rooftop digs are worth advance booking, especially around sunset. Steak tartare is served 'deconstructed' style and if you like that dish, definitely get it. Duck confit is also highlight. This is by the same chef as Brodeto. I went here about a year before Brodeto and thought the food was good although the menu is somewhat boring.   * [[https://restaurantjolie.com/|Jolie]] - French bistro.

 +  * [[http://ac-restaurants.com/beasleys/|Beasley's Chicken and Waffles]] - Southern. My overall favorite chicken and waffle spot, although not far ahead of Tupelo. Probably the only Ashley Christensen restaurant that I would go to. I feel like the rest of them are trying to do fine cuisine with the same attitude you should make c&w with. Love their hot sauce.
   * [[https://ac-restaurants.com/death-taxes/|Death & Taxes]] - upscale American? Not a fan of the food at all. Think $50 steak and pasta with the richness and palate of Carraba's fettucine alfredo - very rich, salty, fatty, exactly what a burger American would want in fine dining, exactly the opposite of what I want. My dish was pork and breaded onions. Salmon tartare with the fish drowned in sauce. Overall did not like it and genuinely felt it was because the food was bad as opposed to a matter of taste. This is quite similar to the other "upscale" Ashley Christensen restaurant I've been to (Poole's) and I think I'm seeing the formula. The service was quite good but the mediocre food made it feel like a facade. Folding my napkin doesn't make up for stale bread...   * [[https://ac-restaurants.com/death-taxes/|Death & Taxes]] - upscale American? Not a fan of the food at all.

   * [[https://www.sitti-raleigh.com/|Sitti]] - Lebanese food. Right next door to Gravy. First visit was for lunch and I did not like it at all. On a subsequent dinner visit, I found it excellent. Straightforward but delicious menu.   * [[https://www.sitti-raleigh.com/|Sitti]] - Lebanese food. Right next door to Gravy. First visit was for lunch and I did not like it at all.

   * [[https://www.noodleblvd.com/|Noodle Blvd]] - Ramen. The most reliable ramen spot in the Triangle that I have been to. I like their spicy seafood kimchi ramen best.   * [[https://www.noodleblvd.com/|Noodle Blvd]] - Ramen. The most reliable ramen spot in the Triangle that I have been to.
