- JJerodNew York City •2 reviews5.0Dined 1 day agoAll of the dim sum options we picked were delicious and a good value for the money (char siu bao, chicken curry bao, cabbage rolls, & pork shumai). My wife was initially skeptical of the sesame balls dessert but they ended up being amazing, too! Service was polite and prompt; atmosphere was cozy and chic. We'll definitely be going back.More infoBrewery BhavanaPrice: Moderate• Brewery• Raleigh•4.8

- AAdamRaleigh / Durham / Chapel Hill •1 review5.0Dined 3 days agoLast night, my husband and I had the pleasure of dining at RH Rooftop to celebrate our anniversary, and it was an unforgettable experience! We had made the reservation about a month ago, and the anticipation was absolutely worth it. From the moment we walked in, we were struck by how beautiful the restaurant was. The ambience was elegant, with perfect lighting that set a warm and romantic tone. Our waiter, Ethan, made the evening even more special with his attentive and kind service. He truly went above and beyond to ensure we felt celebrated and cared for. We started with the crispy artichokes and mini lobster rolls with caviar, both of which were absolutely delightful and set the tone for the meal. For our main courses, we ordered the charred ribeye and the broiled king salmon. The ribeye was cooked to perfection, with a perfect char and tenderness, and the salmon was equally impressive—moist, flavorful, and cooked just right. Our sides, truffle fries and charred broccolini, were equally amazing and complemented our dishes perfectly. We also appreciated that the portion sizes were just right—not too much and not too little—leaving us completely satisfied without feeling overwhelmed.Dessert was the perfect ending to our meal. We initially ordered strawberries and cream, which was light and refreshing, but Ethan surprised us with an additional treat: a heavenly butterscotch brûlée! To make it even sweeter, the desserts weren’t added to our bill—a thoughtful gesture that truly made us feel special.For drinks, I ordered peppermint leave tea, which was wonderfully soothing, along with honey, lemon/lime, and a side of San Pellegrino. It was such a lovely touch to have everything just as I requested. Overall, everything about our experience was perfect—the service, the stunning atmosphere, the perfectly portioned food, and the incredible attention to detail. Ethan’s exceptional hospitality and the restaurant’s thoughtful gestures made our anniversary so memorable!More infoRH Rooftop Restaurant RaleighPrice: Very Expensive• American• Raleigh•4.7
