I've been to another location of FK before and it was a fine meal but just an inconvenient location for me. This location is also a bit out of the way for me in SE but when I saw how good that bowl of Mi Quang looked in my friend's pics with all of the toppings and saw the cloudy and slightly drizzly weather today...there was only one place I wanted to go for lunch, Friendship Kitchen My food came out and it tasted great overall with some minor issues that I'm sure will get resolved on their own. Portions were great as well as the herb platter but I wish I didn't have to ration the broth as there wasn't that much. Prices are a bit high for Vietnamese but probably in line with the location here on Mississippi street.

Charming wine bar on NW Raleigh right off NW 23rd. The stone exterior is adorned with greenery and…read morepurple party lights with lots of bistro tables and chairs for nice weather. Inside is dark and cozy, perfect for a rainy afternoon or evening. My only complaint is there is a lot of wood and all the hard surfaces don't reflect noise so it's sometimes challenging to hear. They have a wonderful assortment of wines and not all local. For me, that's a good thing. Yes I love a Willamette Valley Pinot or a Washington Cabernet, but I get a lot of those when I'm visiting these areas, which I do frequently. At Muse you can enjoy a red from France, Spain, Italy, as well as local. Lots of whites and some bubbles, too. You can do a tasting of three half glass pours of your choice, or order a glass. Some nights they have tastings that they have preselected. Last night, based on Alex's recommendation, after telling him my preferences, I had the 2021 Crozes-Hermitage from Paris. It was a bigger red, but so smooth. Next I went with the Rioja Gran Reserva which was more fruit forward. Another winner. Their cheese and jam plates are fabulous, the cheese especially delicious, and pair perfectly with the wines. Have a feeling I'll be back frequently to this charming neighborhood wine since my friend works out next door, so it's a perfect meeting spot.

They didn't have it, but they were able to order it for me. It was at the shop for pickup within 2 days! So, while this shop is on the smaller side, if you plan a bit ahead of time it's likely they can get you the bottle you need if there is a local distributor. In addition to wine, they also have a nice selection of liquor. I keep coming back for the Son of Man cider vermouth. They have craft beer and cider too.They have a number of pre-chilled items for same night consumption. I am looking forward to when we can freely drink at bars again and I can hang out and have a glass of wine in person!

Drinks: - N/A…read more Food: - The Focaccia w/ Garlic Eggplant Butter is amazing. This is a must get. The focaccia is dense and can make you full fast, but the garlic eggplant butter balances it out and makes me feel less full. It's hard to explain but it just makes me hungrier as I eat - The Young Yellowtail Toast is also a must get. The amount of yellowtail they give you is generous, it's refreshing with the lemon. We got this dish at the end of our meal. By that time we were pretty full, but the yellowtail gave us a second wind because of how good it was - The Gems and Chicories is good only if you like beets. THE BEETS IS WHAT MAKES THIS DISH, so if you're not into beets don't get this. Seriously I cannot stress enough how important the beets are and how it ties together this dish. As I was eating it, I was fairly unimpressed up until I had the beets. I had to kind of fish them out from the bottom, it was like they were hiding from me or something, but once I found them they completely transformed the salad for me - The Grilled Squid and Gremolata was forgettable, it wasn't bad by any means but the other dishes were so good it kind of drowned this one out to be honest - The Corned Lamb Terrine was also forgettable for the same reason the Grilled Squid was. I don't have anything bad to say, it just pales in comparison to the other dishes we had. Ambience: - It's a smaller place, it can fit maybe 20-25 people I think - There's a large floral display in the back wall that I was sitting next to that made for great pictures - I love all the hanging plants and the vases with plants, it zhuzhed up the place for sure. It almost gives a old timey Victorian vibe Overall: I've been to this place twice and I've enjoyed each visit. I do plan on visiting again sometime. It's a great place to meet up with friends for a drink and bites. I wouldn't go on a date here, it's a little too loud, I felt like I was screaming at my Fiancé for her to hear me. The wine is excellent and the food is good

I ordered their sparkling red wine - average pours here. The wine I selected was good and to my liking, but it wasn't a highlight. The price for a glass is in line with other wine bars in the area. Service is always prompt and attentive but not overbearing, so it's easy to have a good conversation. My friend and I ordered some bites to share. We ordered the hamachi crudo ofc. The crudo was fine; the fish was tender and fresh, and the cuts were a good size. The garlic chili crunch garnish added nice texture, but the dish would have been better with some acid or citrus. The flavor was kind of flat. 6/10 We also ordered the panisse, and it was delicious! The interior was very light and fluffy; the exterior managed to remain snappy. The flavor of the panisse was also quite good, and the accompanying dipping sauce paired well. Some of the best tasting paniesse I've had! 8/10 Finally, we ended the night with the steak Diane. Delicious textural addition of shoestring potatoes on top! The sauce Diane was delicate, and its deep mushroom flavor enhanced the meat. The meat itself was tender and juicy. 8/10 I will continue to come back to Bar Diane for the yummy food, as it makes for a great date night or girl friend hang spot!

This place is a little hidden, no major signage, seems like a run down hole in the wall but that's it's charm. They have red, white, and bubbles, and you get whatever they have open that night. Initially I was skeptical but they only serve older/aged Bourdeauxs here. The bottle we had was phenomenal - one of the best bourdeauxs I have ever had. They clearly really know their wine. Each glass will cost you about $12 because if you bought the bottle we had it would have been about $50 to purchase on the street so $12 was a great price. They also bring some pistachios to your table. The ambiance and decor were really neat and just unlike any pretentious wine bar I have ever been to- and far more enjoyable. The bartender was very friendly and engaged in conversation and very knowledgeable about the wine selection. I would love to visit again the next time I'm in Portland.

The bartender was friendly, efficient and crafty. At some point they ran out of the pre-batched espresso martini and was making them from scratch to many compliments. The sandwich: amazing. Everything is vegan but there is nothing lacking. I got the cold Italian sub and it was what every sandwich should aspire to be with perfectly dressed, cold and crispy lettuce and pickles in between and assortment of "salami". The sandwich was plenty to share or for a very filling meal. I am still thinking about this sandwich. I wish I lived closer as it would be a regular spot!
