Best American Restaurants in Raleigh

I have celebrated my birthday and graduation at this Perry’s. We live an hour and a half away and love coming here. Both times the food, service and attention to detail have been extraordinary. This is a restaurant to help you celebrate life’s milestones, family and romance.

Irregardless is one of our favorite places to go before we attend a performance downtown. Tonight, we had exceptional service, interesting cocktails, and excellent food, and we were on our way in less than an hour. This delightful Raleigh landmark is always a good choice. My spanakopita was just right, and my husband's steak was beautifully cooked.

Always treated like family, in a good way... not an Aunt Karen or creepy uncle way. Food always on point and drinks are fantastic. Except for the hangover part, but that is probably my fault, not theirs. Love you Oak peeps.

Last 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!

You need to define or let people know where the parking is and have availability for handicap parking without walking a city block away The doctors parking across the street I am sure people are being towed from there as they thought that it was parking for your location
