"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

"Listed as one of the Raleigh properties belonging to Scott Crawford of Crawford Hospitality, whose nomination is for Outstanding Restaurateur on the James Beard Foundation's 2025 semifinalist list; the nomination cites Crawford Hospitality's group of venues in Raleigh as part of his restaurateur recognition." - Erin Perkins
"Chef Scott Crawford's flagship restaurant, recognized as a James Beard Award finalist for 'Outstanding Hospitality'." - Henna Bakshi
"Six-time James Beard semifinalist Scott Crawford is a master at setting a cozy mood in his restaurants. Even if it’s still bright and sunny outside, crossing the threshold instantly drops patrons into a low-lit dining room with exposed brick walls and dark furniture dotted with candles. There’s a seemingly unspoken rule — conversation hums inside but never roars, which might be a byproduct of only being able to seat 60 at full capacity. The manchego-herb biscuits are a menu mainstay and not to be missed, as is whatever rotating crudo is on offer. Share a few small plates and then head downstairs to cocktail bar Sous Terre for a nightcap." - Elliott Harrell
