    That Bread
    Cliff C.

    This is a great place to go. The meatballs were amazing. Really great area to be in. Once you finish, plenty of places to go hang out at. Try the shrimp here.

    Came on a Thursday and they had some really great specials for ladies night! There was two salads to choose from that were half off and then you have $6 April Spritz and espresso martinis. Sat at the bar and met a few of their ladies one of which whom I had happened to know from social life out anyhow! There was live music playing and everything was really tasty. I got the top salad which was an actual normal size portion but I opted to add on some grilled chicken for extra protein. The ambiance is a warm cozy feeling. I can't wait to come back for the other events during the week.

    Kardashian Chopped Salad and espresso martini

    This was my first time coming here and I've been waiting to get her on Thursdays for their $6 espressos and half off salad specials. I sat at the bar and ordered me an espresso martini and the Kardashian salad. The salad was good and surprisingly filling for me. The espresso martini came in a cute little glass. We also got bread for the table while was ok nothing spectacular . I also tried the cucumber jalapeño margarita which flavor wise was good the only bad was too much ice in the drink. They also had live music as well which was awesome. It's a cute intimate spot and I would come visit again.

    S'mores Flambe

    Thought we would give this business a try in Raleigh. Looked like a different experience for us, more up beat than usual. I say it's located a little off the main area of Glenwood South located in an interesting building, decorated retro with tall ceiling, exposed air ducts and wiring. With an ambience of real candles everywhere helps the decor as well as on tables. There are tables of different sizes and heights as well as a bar with seating. We were seated right away and greated almost same time by our waiter who took drink order. This business serves small plate items, meant to be shared. Menu offerings are limited and small portions. We started with an order of bread and the Big Meatball. The butter which comes with focaccia bread is flavored as decribed on menu which we did not care for. The meatball is large and served on a plate surrounded with marinara sauce and is baked with crunchy exterior. After cutting into meatball we felt there was hardly any meat, looked like baked mush, not that flavorful. We then ordered a plate of Fusilli which is corkscrew pasta, pancetta, grape tomatoes and a scoop of whipped ricotta. Our order came with bland tasting sauce on pasta, ricotta not flavored with anything, one small tomato and a few ever so small pieces of the pancetta. The star of evening was plate of Shrimp Scampi that had good size shrimp drenched in garlic butter and presented nicely. The best flavored item of night. We decided to finish evening with S'mores Flambe for dessert. The presentation was good arriving on fire burning off Grand Mariner. Well, a little too much burning as bottom portion of brownie tasted burnt. Disappointing experience to say least.

    Absolutely loved going to this restaurant for ladies night- on Thursdays they have six dollar espresso martinis and aperol spritz as well as half off salads with live music! The food was delicious, the drinks were great, and the music was fantastic. Definitely would go back!

    Visited Flour & Barrel recently and it was a delight! The ambience is great, super intimate and wonderful for a lil date night. We tried the Radiatore pasta (without the meat), and it was delicious, kind of like a cacio e pepe and very flavorful. The star of the show, though, was their rigatoni. I'm literally still thinking about it. It wasn't one of those fall dishes that leans heavily on traditional fall spices or flavors like pumpkin or squash. It was creamy, salty and had all the right flavorful, the cold burrata was such a good contrast to the hot pasta and each bite was so so soooo good also the portion was huge in the best way.

    Kardashian Chopped Salad, Bread for the Table
    Karen L.

    Came for a girls' night and we were first sat at a high top which had very little surface area, it was strange since there were a lot of other tables open and some others were at 4-seater tables despite having just 2 people. We asked to be sat at a lower table which were bigger, you kind of need more space when you're eating tapas! The server was nice about it though. Notable dishes: radiatore (but def recommend asking for fresh ground pepper), kardashian chopped salad, and bread for the table. We also ordered the baked provolone which arrives at your table on fire which is neat but the concept of the dish is a bit strange, as it's cooling it's really hard to actually scoop the cheese and honestly the taste was just ok. We also got the big ass meatball which in my opinion is overrated. Glad to try it out as an Offline restaurant but overall it was decent but not mindblowing.

    The pasta/peer pairings were well done. I absolutely love homemade pasta. The ambiance was great; perfect place for casual dining or even a date night.

    The moment you come in, you see this HUGE Muriel that says "the love of strangers" what a sweet concept. The decor and every thing was so intimate and cute with the real wax candles. We ordered a few things: filet mignon. It was good but not worth $39 like really? It literally was just the steak n butter. We then ordered the potatoes and bone marrow. The potatoes were the best i had in Raleigh. The bone marrow.... it was like a love- hate relationship; it was a tad bit salty, not enough marrow unfortunately. But it definitely was tasty. We also ordered the chitarra. Pasta needed a lot more salt. Shrimp was tasty. Probably wouldn't get the chitarra again. But when saved THE NIGHT, was that brownie flambé. OH MY! a thick brownie served in a skillet was flambed home made marshmallow torched with grand marnier.... WHAT?! amazing Definitely would come back

    Burrata pasta squash sauce

    I love the dark moody ambience of this place. Candles everywhere! The squash burrata pasta I got *muah* it was creamy delish. We had tried several apps, (bread was bomb). Convenient with family in town they had high chairs for babes. Our waitress was friendly overall I'd say a place worth checking out!

    Visited Flour & Barrel recently on a Monday, which is what they call their Industry Night. $5 pasta (likely a smaller portion than their normal size) plus half off house beer and wine. Got pasta, the bread for the table app, and 2 glasses of Prosecco for $22. Can't beat it. Perfect spot for Girl Dinner with a friend. The place is also decorated so chicly - perhaps a mix of Italian and Greco. I really loved it. Tons of seating and close to a paid parking deck in DTR. Definitely a great find!

    Hand-made pasta with crab-meat
    Heather M.

    3.5 stars. I had high hopes for this place but was somewhat disappointed. The drinks were great, and the food was really tasty. Unfortunately, the service was subpar, and the restaurant was out of several things we wanted to order (one pasta and two of the beers). We didn't receive water at our table for 20 minutes; in fact, our drinks from the bar arrived before our water (in a plastic cup... why?!?). Flour & Barrel boasts a celebrity chef and has settled into the space where Little City Brewing used to be. We will probably return for the handmade pasta. Perhaps they need more time to settle into a groove?

    Expresso martini
    Marissa M.

    I visited last night for the Tuesday Night Strangers to Friends specials. F&B is located in Smoky Hollow. Street parking is scarce so you'll have to choose a parking garage. Upon arrival we were instructed to choose a color wristband if we were open to meeting friends or those looking to date. The night's specials were specific to Chardonnay Wine for $1 if someone purchases the drink for you and the Chirrata Squid Ink and Jumbo Shrimp pasta dish. My guest and I ordered a Old Fashioned and Expresso Martini. They were ok. Not the best I've had. We decided on sharing the whipped ricotta dish which was so delicious. The honey and pistachios paired so well with the ricotta dip and crostini. Our bartender was helpful with going over the event and specials for the night. I will admit the options were disappointing. For entrees we decided on the Squid Ink Jumbo Shrimp Pasta dish and Vodka with chicken cutlet dish. Not impressive. I was also disappointed in the service last night. This was not a large event or a busy night. There was 1 chef working and it took over an hour for my plate to arrive. When it arrived it was disappointing. The flavors were honestly a miss for me. Very bland. The guest sitting next to me shared the same sentiments. Martha was a sweetheart. She communicated the kitchen's obstacles honestly to me and my dinner was paid for on the house. This event was very female dominated. Very few men attended. It was nice to chat with new locals at the bar and I was happy to meet a new acquaintance who shares similar interests. I think with time Flour & Barrel has an opportunity to improve their quality and staffing dilemma.

They made the NY Sour with a nice egg white foam on top. They charged me $14 for that cocktail. It was a good time, and my friends and I went next door to the Food Hall for dinner.

    This place was absolutely amazing. All I can say is, we made a lot of happy noises while eating,…read moreand there were plenty of "oh my God" moments at the table. From the staff to the manager to the food, everything was on point. The food truly speaks for itself. They serve small plates, which we love because it gives you the chance to try different things and experience a variety of flavors. We started with the fried pork belly on tostones. It was perfectly seasoned, topped with avocado, and every bite just melted in your mouth. Next, we had the tamarind sticky ribs with a tamarind mango barbecue sauce. This was a perfect example of how simplicity can create complex flavors. The ribs were cooked just right -- not completely falling off the bone, but tender enough that when you bit into them, the meat pulled apart so easily. They were juicy, full of flavor, and had just the right touch of spice from the chili flakes. Then we moved on to the mini arepas, and oh my God. They had slow-cooked pork, guava barbecue sauce, and fried papas on top. The arepa itself was crispy on the outside, warm and fluffy on the inside. The savory pork paired with the sweetness of the guava barbecue sauce was incredible, and the crunch from the fried papas took it to another level. Now, I have a bit of a sweet tooth, but my wife does not. I wanted dessert, and we were leaning toward the tres leches, but our waitress highly recommended the bread pudding. I am not usually a fan of bread pudding at all, but her recommendations had been on point all night, so I decided to trust her. I am so glad we did. They take a Mexican bolillo, soak it overnight in tres leches, then pan-sear it to create this crispy caramelized outside while keeping the inside warm, soft, and sweet. It is topped with crema and toasted coconut, then they pour warm guava syrup over it and serve it with a scoop of coconut sorbet. The layers of flavor in that dessert were unreal. Honestly, it may have been the best dessert we have ever had. And remember, my wife is not big on sweets -- she usually only takes one bite of dessert, but this time she tried to eat over half of it. Lol. I highly recommend this place. The food, the service, the drinks, and the atmosphere were all amazing. And after dinner, you can even head upstairs to work off the food with salsa lessons and a dance club. This is definitely a spot worth checking out! Este lugar fue absolutamente increíble. Lo único que puedo decir es que hicimos muchos sonidos de felicidad mientras comíamos, y hubo muchos momentos de "¡Dios mío!" en la mesa. Desde el personal, hasta el gerente, hasta la comida, todo estuvo excelente. La comida realmente habla por sí sola. Sirven platos pequeños, algo que nos encanta porque te da la oportunidad de probar diferentes cosas y experimentar una variedad de sabores. Comenzamos con el pork belly frito sobre tostones. Estaba perfectamente sazonado, cubierto con aguacate, y cada bocado simplemente se derretía en la boca. Después probamos las costillitas pegajosas de tamarindo con una salsa barbecue de tamarindo y mango. Este plato fue un ejemplo perfecto de cómo la simplicidad puede crear sabores complejos. Las costillas estaban cocinadas en su punto: no se caían completamente del hueso, pero estaban tan tiernas que al morderlas, la carne se desprendía fácilmente. Estaban jugosas, llenas de sabor y con el toque perfecto de picante gracias a las hojuelas de chile. Luego pasamos a las mini arepas, y ¡Dios mío! Tenían cerdo cocinado lentamente, salsa barbecue de guayaba y papitas fritas encima. La arepa estaba crujiente por fuera, calientita y esponjosa por dentro. El sabor salado del cerdo combinado con la dulzura de la salsa barbecue de guayaba fue increíble, y el crujiente de las papitas fritas lo llevó a otro nivel. Ahora, a mí me gustan mucho los dulces, pero a mi esposa no tanto. Yo quería pedir postre, y estábamos pensando en el tres leches, pero nuestra mesera nos recomendó mucho el budín de pan. Normalmente no soy fanático del budín de pan, pero sus recomendaciones habían sido excelentes toda la noche, así que decidí confiar en ella. Me alegra muchísimo haberlo hecho. Toman un bolillo mexicano, lo remojan durante la noche en tres leches y luego lo sellan en sartén para crear una capa exterior crujiente y caramelizada, mientras que el interior se mantiene calientito, suave y dulce. Lo sirven con crema y coco tostado, luego le vierten encima un jarabe tibio de guayaba y lo acompañan con una bola de sorbete de coco. Las capas de sabor en ese postre fueron irreales. Honestamente, puede que haya sido el mejor postre que hemos probado en nuestra vida. Y recuerden, mi esposa no es muy amante de los dulces; normalmente solo prueba un bocado del postre, pero esta vez intentó comerse más de la mitad. Jajaja.

The essence of it still feels similar with a few differences in ambiance and menu. They still over an oyster option, but we didn't try it. The octopus was good - cooked nicely. I enjoyed the ceviche.

There are black beans under the skirt steak that were AMAZING. It was just a small option of the dish - not the size of a side portion but almost like a "sauce" under the steak. It was perfect. This place remains a solid choice. I would come here again on a date or with a girl friend.

Sweet, salty, buttery chaos in the best way. For the main, I went with the pork chop and greens. The chop leaned a little overcooked for me personally, but the sauce helped bring things back together and added good flavor. The greens had a nice little kick of heat, but I kept waiting for that deep smoky ham hock flavor to show up like an old Southern grandma entering the kitchen... and it never quite arrived. Overall though? Still a solid meal, strong whiskey program, cool atmosphere, and definitely worth checking out if you're in Raleigh looking for a bourbon-forward dinner spot. Travelin_Broke approved with a slight side-eye from the greens.
