The 12 Best Restaurants In Raleigh, North Carolina - Raleigh - The Infatuation

"Ask locals for the best place to celebrate an anniversary, and Crawford & Son will likely be the most common response. Long heralded for its hospitality, the North Person Street restaurant is a standard-bearer for the city’s upper crust dining. Expect familiar entrees like grilled Denver steak, seared duck breast, and roasted sea trout, all executed at the highest level. It’s also worth adding several small plates to share, like the bone marrow beef tartare or the butter lettuce with ramp vinaigrette. After, have a nightcap at one of the two sister concepts next door: on the roof of restaurant Jolie or—if you have a key—at subterranean bar Sous Terre." - eric ginsburg
