But the hospitality took it over the top- our wonderful server was so friendly and kind and on her game. And the owner as well. He is so gracious and warm and just out there with his guests! It was a very relaxed chic vibe with music and low light and then he went around to every table to ask if they had interest in watching the World Cup game (England v Norway). Luckily everyone said yes and then the vibe was all heart and all love. We stayed for HOURS & didn't want to go. lol. This was our first time in RTP, and as New York foodie snobs, we were blown away by the food scene and overall vibe. LOVE Cuya & really dig RTP!

Our server Maria was amazing, she gave us great recommendations and was very nice and accommodating. Actually, everyone was accommodating. I had a strawberry coconut Mojito to start, which was good, but maybe just a tad more bitter than I like. But I did love how creamy it was. For my meal I ordered the breakfast sandwich and added bacon. It was really really good. I also tasted the grits and wow, they may have been the best grits I've ever had. I believe the chef added garlic and it really kicked the flavor up a notch. All in all had an amazing experience here and I couldn't recommend it more.

As long as you expect that, the food and service was fine. I thought the portion was appropriate for the price point. During lunch though there wasn't much people in the restaurant.

The highlight of our night was definitely the service! Our server, Sophia, was fantastic! From the moment we walked in she was greeting us with genuine warmth. She had an in-depth knowledge of their spirits and menu. As our first time visiting she made us feel right at home. She knows the cocktails and food and will recommend exactly what you are in the mood for (go on a limb and order what is recommended...you won't be disappointed :)) The manager, Darwin was one of a kind; showcasing a level of customer-oriented detail that you rarely see these days...with the top notch service and team it is clear that it all starts at the top. The manager here is the absolute gold standard of hospitality; stepping in to help the staff during a busy rush, and checking in on tables to ensure every single detail was perfect. Darwin provided impeccable recommendations. I highly recommend trying the made-in-house, specialty Navy Gin and homemade tonic (a total game-changer). He clearly has a deep knowledge of their crafted spirits, his attention to detail and customer care did not go unnoticed. The team at Boatman truly make you feel like a VIP as a customer. Beyond food and drinks, the live jazz music created the perfect touch to the overall vibe. The architectural masterpiece and curved entryways provides an aesthetic that makes you forget you're in Raleigh and not in the Mediterranean . Lastly, had the pleasure of meeting one of the owners tonight, who confirmed the team is just as amazing as the person in charge. You can tell they care deeply about the guest experience, it's obvious they have created a fantastic culture for their team. The staff radiates positive energy, which only happens under great leadership. All around great vibes. We will absolutely be back.

The chicken wings were tender and the fries were served hot. The spices that were on the wings and fries was very distinct & a little overpowering as I continued to eat them.

I've been desperately wanting to try this place since I heard it was coming to Raleigh, so when a…read morefriend and I found ourselves leaving a nearby event and looking for dinner, I jumped at the chance to try it. TLDR: I was so disappointed! The vibe is cool, and the hostess was sweet as can be. But our waiter started off rough when we asked him what the sauce on the shrimp bao was and he looked at us blankly and said he really didn't know how to describe it. We eventually figured out that it should be analogous to bang bang sauce, so we ordered those, the brisket bao, & the potstickers to share, plus we each got a taco (shrimp for her and tuna for me). We also ordered the strawberry basil rum-based cocktail to share. The cocktail was ok to me and unpalatable to her - it didn't have even a hint of discernible basil flavor. It tasted like the strawberry daiquiris my parents made in the early 90s except poured over ice instead of frozen. It was fine, but not worth the price to me. Then it was on to the bao. They were both weirdly moist on one side, like they had been sitting on the plate too long. The filling was good, but eating the bun was like eating wet bread. We ate the filling and left the buns (disappointing for the price!). The shrimp is fried and the sauce was good. I was surprised to prefer the brisket - it is quite spicy, though! Next we tried the potstickers. They were decent but nothing outstanding. I am no potsticker aficionado but they seemed very similar to the fried dumplings at Bul Box... but more expensive and less tasty. Last were the tacos. My friend took one bite of hers and made a weird face before placing it back on the plate and pushing it away - she said it just was not good. I saved my tuna poke lettuce wrap taco for last because it sounded so good, and the waiter had pronounced it the best thing on the menu when I ordered it. It was the biggest disappointment of the night. It wasn't wrapped at all; it was just a piece of lettuce with toppings piled on it. The lettuce was too floppy and wilted to use it as a taco. There was too much of whatever was wet in the toppings - there was literally a wet puddle around it. There were so many green onions in it I couldn't even pick them all out (they are not in the menu description, and I hate them). And the tuna, while beautiful in appearance, was variable in quality. Some chunks were great; some chunks had a weird texture like the stuff you cut off of chicken when you're cleaning it. And some was so fishy I had to spit it out. I estimate I ate about half of it. So overall, some things were good, some things were not, and some were in between. I'd give it 2.5 stars if I could but I rounded up. At a lower price point I'd be more forgiving, perhaps. But I won't seek it out again.

It's definitely popular, so I recommend making reservations when you can. I've gone once with a girlfriend before a movie and once with my husband when we were looking for an early dinner. We actually didn't have a reservation that second time, but the staff was incredibly kind and worked with us to accommodate the window we had. This place is truly an experience. It's a little on the pricier side, but I have never once felt unwelcome. The staff is warm, knowledgeable, and happy to help guide you through the menu. Every dish I've tried has been delicious, but the duck egg rolls, dumplings, and sesame noodles especially live rent-free in my head. I usually stick with a glass of wine from their extensive list, but I recently tried the green tequila cocktail and it was amazing. My husband always finds a fresh, delicious mocktail option, which we appreciate. Accessibility is something I consider when choosing places to go, and Brewery Bhavana is accessible for wheelchair users, including the restrooms. Being able to enjoy the full dining experience comfortably makes a big difference. I wouldn't necessarily go here expecting traditional Chinese cuisine, but I would absolutely recommend it for a unique, thoughtful, and delicious dining experience. It has become a special treat for us when we're in Fenton, and I'm always excited to go back.

For starters, our waiter(if I'm not mistaken was also the bartender) was very attentive and gave excellent recommendations since it was our first visit. I ordered the rose water lemonade and my son ordered the strawberry lychee. Both were delicious so much so I asked could the two be combined without the carbonation that the lychee drink had. It was a hit!!!! For appetizers we ordered the Duck Egg rolls and asked the waiter to surprise us with the second appetizer. He chose the Pork Bao. The egg rolls were our favorite out of the two but both were great. For our entrees, my son ordered the General Tso Chicken. I couldn't decide between two dishes so I asked the waiter once again to surprise me. I ended up the whole fish(black bass) entree which was a phenomenal choice. The flavors were like a party in your mouth. It was seasoned to perfection and the sauce: OMG!!!!! Both entrees came with a bowl of fluffy rice. For dessert we got the mooncakes. They were ok. The ambience was nice and welcoming. I don't drink but was informed that it was a place people go to take part in their amazing drink selections. That it is also a great place to read a book which they have plenty to choose from if you forgot your own and a good meet up or date spot. If you are looking for new place to try this place will be a great choice!!!! Let me know what you think!!!
