   Nice restaurant for an intimate dining getaway. Exquisite wine accompanied by a perfectly prepared meal is a perfect couples outing.

   Delightful and delicious from appetizers to salad to entrees. 4 adults with 3 different entries from coq au vin, to shrimp/scallops and lamb shank with a marvelous cheese dip appetizer. We will be back! Beautiful decor and casual vibe. Can't wait to do a wine tasting and try out the flatbread pizzas which sounded delicious but aren't served after 2pm. Can't wait!

   This was our first visit to Rayson Winery, and it definitely will not be our last. Our food was incredibly delicious (mushroom raviolis with short rib and Coq au vin), service was friendly and attentive, and the restaurant atmosphere was cozy, yet luxurious. Staff let us sample a couple of wines before we decided on what we would order with dinner. We go back and forth on Hwy 40 between central NC and western NC quite a bit, and now have a great spot to stop for lunch or dinner, and have a glass of wine. Besides the outstanding food (you can actually see them cook your food from the window in the dining area), we were really impressed with the wine...no knock against the prior owners, but when it was Raylen Winery, we went once, didn't buy any wine and never went back. But under new ownership and under the Rayson name, the wine is outstanding. After our late lunch/early dinner, we did a wine tasting, where Levi gave an excellent job balancing multiple wine tasting parties while explaining the wines and answering lots of questions. We are red wine lovers, and purchased 3 bottles, but also a bottle of Riesling. I definitely encourage anyone to get a wine tasting before or after their meal. Thanks Rayson, we look forward to our next visit!

   Bistro Europa was a phenomenal experience. The food was top notch. The chef did an amazing job with just the right sause for the fish. The atmosphere was elegant but comfortable. The staff is so friendly and patient. Great job on a wonderful dining encounter. We be back often.

   The food was delicious. The ambience was perfect. But here are my issues. First only wine and water were drink options. No coffee or tea is available. Secondly someone I was with ordered the Barratta Salad with chicken. It was not a salad it had very few brussel sprouts and nothing else. Therefore I don’t think it should be listed as a salad. I ordered the scallops with brussel sprouts. It was delicious. But I got 3 brussel sprouts. I understand cost is a big deal and the food was delicious but the value is ridiculous!! Planning eating either before or after you go plan on water if you do not drink wine.

   Sophie was our server and provided excellent service! Our food was fantastic—we split the deviled eggs and a beet salad, and both had the crab stuffed haddock, which was cooked to perfection. And of course the wine was nothing less than delicious, which is why we’re wine club members at both Jolo and Rayson! Loved the new Chapter III red wine from Chris. Finished our meal with a glass at the bar, which is beautiful, with Coleman who is always so sweet!

    Food was AMAZING!! The portions were a bit small but very tasty. Staff was professional and insightful. It is not well lit on the outside, so it was a bit of an adventure finding our way in.
