RH Raleigh | The Gallery at North Hills

"The new RH Raleigh (formerly known as Restoration Hardware) burst onto the scene last month with a splashy 800+ person opening gala featuring a who’s who of North Carolina celebrities. A furniture store might seem an odd addition to an Eater Heatmap, except if you ask the folks from RH, they’ll tell you that they’re no longer just a furniture store. To whit — RH Raleigh’s expansive new space is topped by a glimmering rooftop restaurant complete with trees, balconies, a DJ booth, and what has quickly become one of the Oak City’s most see-and-be-seen dining rooms. Serving lunch, dinner, and weekend brunch, the restaurant offers a caviar menu, American standards like a lobster roll, ribeye dip sandwich, whole grilled branzino, petit filet, and plenty of wine and beer to wash it all down. It might be North Hills, but the vibes are pure L.A." - Matt Lardie
