Lunch in Raleigh / surrounding
Thank you all so much for your responses! I'm checking out the North Hills area website - that looks like that may be the place to go. Everyone in this group appreciates a good meal, and were we actually staying in Raleigh I'd seek out some of the great places I've read about in other posts. Unfortunately, given the circumstances, ease must trump caliber - although to find both would be a boon! I'd have not found it without your suggestions, thanks again! :)
Lake Elsinore
I'm another HUGE Raviolis fan - the food there is wonderful, great service, and the owners are fantastic people. I usually get the Ravioli Funghi al Bascaiola (I think I spelled that right...) wild mushroom ravioli with a sage cream sauce, tossed with asparagus and italian sausage. Decadent.
Went to the bar the other night for cocktails and appetizers with a friend, and had the fried mozzarella - served crisped over a sea of marinara YUM - as well as the bruschetta - divine!
The cooking classes are wonderful - I've been to several - very informative, entertaining, and samplings of delicious food.
I highly, highly recommend Raviolis! Try it!
Lunch in Raleigh / surrounding
Help!
I am going to be in Asheville in a couple of weeks, and am driving to Raleigh area to meet my parents for a long, leisurely lunch while there. They are driving from VA. Couple of things I am looking for...
+ reasonable price. casual environment.
+ open later than 2:30pm for lunch!!! we plan on lingering.
+ NOT downtown Raleigh - I'm going to be hustling to get there and don't want to fight downtown traffic. Easy-to-find.
I've been searching sites for over an hour, and any place that looks like it would be good closes between lunch and dinner. I really prefer not a big, noisy chain, OR a dinky hole-in-the-wall.
Type? American, BBQ, something with a lot of choice on the menu. Not Italian.
Suggestions? Thanks in advance for your help!! :)
