Best Romantic Restaurants in Raleigh and Durham | Eater Carolinas

"The Fearrington House Restaurant (located at the luxury inn of the same name) has been one of the Triangle’s most coveted reservations for generations. Guests have quite literally helicoptered in for a meal at the restaurant, which is available as a three- or four-course seasonal menu or a more elaborate seven-course tasting menu. The setting itself is designed for quiet luxury, with diners spread among the rooms of the original farmhouse that forms the heart of the larger Fearrington House complex. Sommelier Troy Revell recently took over as beverage and service director and is in charge of the restaurant’s more than 1,500 bottle wine collection, as well as the cocktail menu — pairings are available with all tasting menus." - Matt Lardie
