I finally got to visit the RH Rooftop in North Hills, Raleigh. The restaurant's decor lives up to the hype and what you've come to expect from RH properties around the country. The restaurant and larger store are immaculately decorated, transporting you to a Californian dream. The service was excellent, with no complaints; our server was polite and readily offered menu suggestions. Now, on to the food: to be honest, you're paying more for the atmosphere of the restaurant and the vibe, rather than expecting the best food you've ever had. While the food was good, it wasn't groundbreaking, and had we not had the surrounding environment of RH, you may be disappointed with your order. The food is solid, but nothing to write home about. So we enjoyed the following dishes:
GRILLED SHRIMP 6 pcs, Lemon, Butter, Garlic, Calabrian Chili- We upgraded to the 8 pcs entree as our starter, and this was good. The shrimp were well-cooked, a little salty, but overall still very tasty.
ROADSIDE LOBSTER ROLL Drawn Butter, Old Bay, Brioche with a Dash of Mayo- I was a little bit disappointed with this dish. The lobster was a bit dry and unseasoned to my liking. I'm from the Northeast, so I have very high expectations of a good lobster roll, and this fell short.
RH BURGER American Cheese, Pickles, Onion, Dijonnaise- Classic American cheeseburger. No complaints, which were delivered exactly to our expectations. It was cooked well and was very tasty. Again, there was nothing magical about it, just a good, classic cheeseburger.
FRENCH FRIES - None of the entrees come with a side, so be prepared to order something extra to accompany your meal. We ordered the plain fries, and they were good--nothing to write home about, but solid shoestring fries.
All in all, we had a good, but not great, meal. I probably wouldn't come back since I've been to other RH rooftops around the country, but this is a great addition to the Triangle's food scene.
