We were looking for a new bar to try in Carrboro and saw B-Tribe on Yelp, and we're glad we did…read more The entrance is very unassuming, almost hidden behind an Italian restaurant on the south end of Car Mill Mall. The place is quite small, with about five tables, and maybe 12 seats at the bar. We sat at the bar as we only wanted drinks and snack. Christian, the bartender, greeted us right away and brought food and drink menus. He explained the specials and took our drink orders. My companion found an interesting Greek white wine, and I asked for a boulevardier, my go-to cocktail for a new place. The wine was to her liking, and the cocktail was about the best example I've had in recent memory. Christian used Woodford Reserve bourbon and Campari rather than Aperol so it had a slightly less bitter taste and was a lovely auburn color. The food menu was very interesting, with lots of items we've never tried. We ordered caesar salad with anchovies, green beans in garlic-soup sauce, panella (a chick-pea and cream cheese dish), and seasoned French fries. It was all yummy and delivered together. The service we got really couldn't have been much better: attentive without hovering. The food and drink quality was outstanding, and we thought the prices were very reasonable for what we got. In short, thanks Christian, and we'll be back.

I loved the music-themed menu concept, it fits the atmosphere so well. It is a little dark and moody. I ordered the Punk Rock Riot (a vodka drink), and my partner got a whiskey drink. Both were excellent. The Friday night vibes were great, and we had a fantastic time sitting at the bar and soaking it all in. The staff were friendly, the atmosphere was welcoming, and it felt like a place where you could easily spend a few hours enjoying good drinks, music, and company. As a bonus, I found out they sell cake too! I didn't try it this time, but it's definitely on my list for the next visit. A patron recommended the strawberry cake. As I say in many of my reviews: I'll be back.

As a big fan of The Bear, I knew this was an event I couldn't miss. I've shared the full menu, but a few of my favorite bites of the night: The surprise bite: I truly wish this had been the size of a full ice cream cone. The salmon purée was creamy and flavorful, and the black sesame cone added just the right amount of savory crunch. Focaccia: The focaccia itself was great, but I'm really here to talk about the butter. Whipped "Orwellian" butter with ribbons of flavor running through it. This was one of those bites I wish I could relive eating. The person beside me had the good sense to ask for a to-go container, and I'm still kicking myself for not thinking of the same before they whisked my plate away. Caramel: Honestly, they had me at corn. But this was such a savory, rich, comforting bite--the kind of food that just warms the soul. Lamb: I was a little apprehensive about lamb covered in a tuna and anchovy sauce (tonnato), but somehow it really worked. It was one of those unexpected combinations that you just couldn't stop eating. And the lamb itself was incredibly tender. Overall, such an excellent event. The food was fantastic and really well-paced, and the chef and hosts were super friendly and informative throughout the night. In addition to their fun dinners and pop-ups, Wedgewood is, of course, as the name suggests, a cheese bar! I'll definitely be back sometime for a glass of wine, some cheese, and maybe even some butter.

They had four beers listed online but only three on the menu in house.? I had the Italian Pilsner. Very informative and friendly staff. The menu features cheese dishes (obviously) and sandwiches, salads and desserts. I ordered the Raclette because I love it and it's hard to find. Wish it was a traditional Swiss Raclette where the cheese is melted on top of a half wheel then scraped off. But this was a French Raclette according to the menu which had thick slices of cows milk melted over halved fingerling potatoes ( under the cheese in the picture ) with sides of good sliced baguette, salami and more small cornichons than I've had at one time in my life. While it tasted good and filled me up, it wasn't the best I ever had. But it's worth a visit. You should check it out.

The space has a slightly dim, intimate feel with dark red walls and thoughtful details--even the plates feel intentional. The food is the real star. We had the tasting menu, and everything was absolutely delectable, aside from the duck (purely personal preference). I sincerely appreciate the choice of vegetarian, vegan, or omnivore options for the tasting menu -- that's quite special. You somewhat go in blind as to what you'll be served, which I really appreciate. For the omnivore tasting menu, there was a lot of seafood used, which I loved. The ingredients were married together well in each item. The price felt well worth it for the experience. They also offer a wine pairing for those interested. I'll definitely be coming back. And despite being in Chapel Hill, it has ample parking that makes it easy to access.
