I finally got the opportunity to check out the Piano Lounge. When we arrived we found street…read moreparking in front of the business. We were greeted by the owner, Quinton, once we arrived. The business is a small intimate space. There is a piano and a nice sound system inside. The business also had wine and beer for purchase and complimentary water. Live music events, wine tastings events, and music lessons are some of the activities that are provided by the business. We came for a R & B listening event. The local artists were talented and we enjoyed ourselves. I am looking forward to checking out other events at the venue.

Had a few beverages at West End Social with bartenders Corbin & Marcus at WES / WEWB: great spot,…read morecool vibe. I would add that [to me] this seemed to be more of a social place to have beverages of *all* kinds rather than simply a wine bar. There was a high-energy afternoon baby shower on the upper level; everyone knew everyone & the place had a solid old friends energy - give it a try. PS: I'll give 'em some grace, but please be sure to have more Tito's on hand next time ;)

I returned here with a friend after enjoying a Yelp event. It was very busy on a week day at lunch…read moretime and our lunch took a bit to arrive but it was all good once it did. I ordered the crispy cauliflower app which was delish! Don't let the raisins sway your decision - it's suttle but just right with the cauli. They add a romesco sauce that's flavorful add capers to add the salty goodness. Loved this! I also ordered the meatball app which was plenty. They were perfect size and more than enough for two. The sauce was rich and bold with flavor and a sprinkle of goat cheese was just right. I will return and try a few more apps next time.

This was my first time visiting Postinos, and we stopped in for lunch. The service was amazing. Our…read morewaitress was sweet, attentive, and made us feel welcome right away. The food was pretty good. I started with the tortellini soup and had the French toast from the Brunch menu. For drinks, I tried the pineapple mimosa, but it was warm, which really affected the flavor. I also ordered an espresso martini, and unfortunately it had an artificial taste that I would not recommend, especially for the price. One issue we ran into was the number of flies around our table. Even though we were seated inside, there were several constantly circling, and one ended up landing in my water. Our waitress tried to help, but the problem continued. Overall, I enjoyed the food and the service, but I would come back for the food only and not for the drinks.

I really enjoyed this restaurant. The food lived up to my expectations. The fried duck ravioli was…read morepretty good. It had a solid crunch out the outside and it was still flavorful and rich on the inside. The steak was exceptional. Perfectly booked medium rare throughout with a perfect sear. The cheesecake was the only thing I was a little disappointed by. It was good, but it wasn't cheesecake. It was pretty much just cake with a tiny bit of cheese filling. The service was good. Our server and the manager were pretty attentive and made sure we had everything we needed. The ambiance was nice, your typical upscale steakhouse. I didn't get a chance to go into the speak easy but from what I saw it seemed like it'd be a really fun place to grab a drink

Ranking them: 1st: spicy shrimp (gambas al ajillo) 2nd: okra (that paprika kick was chefs kiss) 3rd: eggplant caponata (slightly one dimensional but buttery goodness) 4th: zucchini/corn fritters (a little doughy but the dill lemon sauce was delish) The paella took about an hour to get to our table and it was overcooked. :( Flan was delicious and service was very good. Our 1st visit was better but this was still pretty good. We'll be back. Also: dog friendly. We sat on the patio and it was actually a fine day to sit outside. In August. In North Carolina.

I'm here to buy a bottle to pair with my holiday meal plans. I want to thank Diana for taking time to chat with me and help me choose a bottle. She remembers me from my first visit. I didn't have a chance to check out the rooftop space, but that's for my third visit! I also bought a glass of white wine for a reasonable price and enjoyed it in the lounge space. You get a small discount on your purchase if you pay with cash. I recommend doing so when buying multiple bottles as the card fee does add up. Unwined has a special spot in my heart. I look forward to returning next time I'm in Wake Forest.

Our host (sorry I can't recall his name) but he was fun to talk with. Knowledgeable and filled us in on lots of the local happenings, places to also visit, even town history as well. The inside is adorable / quiet and cozy spots to relax as a couple or with several friends. Highly recommend. I look forward to springtime and being able to sit outside. Great spot!

We arrived at 4:45 PM on a Sunday and saw on the door that they close at five. We ran in and I said oh I'm so sorry. Are we still able to have a glass of wine? Crystal, the owner who was still on site, and Kristi, behind the bar were absolutely delightful and said of course! I had a Chardonnay and my husband had a Cabernet. Both were delicious. My Chardonnay needed a little chilling and the owner went in the back and brought out this concoction that instantly chilled my beverage. Brilliant! Not only are they friendly-but the space is beautiful, with elevated furniture & decor fitting of a very high-end wine bar, but with a very friendly and approachable vibe. We can't wait to return! I SO wish there was aclone of this quaint and lovely spot in Cary or Apex!

The ambience was cute and I loved the fresh flowers everywhere, I thought it was a beautiful touch! Lots of seating options -- tables, bar top, and comfy options like couches and cushy seats. The food was great, we got a shareable spread that came with 3 different dips and 3 different crackers/breads and all were very tasty. I also got a snack topper, its like a mini charcuterie board on top of your wine glass. I've never seen it anywhere else but I was obsessed and it was delicious, they even change up the meats/cheeses weekly! I suppose I should mention the wine, with the place being a wine bar and all. Great selection, lots of options! You're sure to find something you like!!! Such a pleasant experience all around, can't wait to go back!
