We had a reservation and were seated immediately, and our server team greeted and gave us the rundown of how the restaurant works and recommendations. We were tempted to do the 5-course tasting, but decided to order a la carte! Drinks: - Espresso martini: Super rich and refreshing - Alexan red wine: The best! Absolutely loved this wine Food: - Beets: Loved these, so light and great flavor - Harkers island oysters: I'm not a huge oysters fan, but these were incredible! They tasted great and the presentation was very cool - Maine lobster: 10/10! Small but great flavor - Dry aged duck: My fiancee had this as his entree and loved it - Aged beef strip: My entree, really delicious Overall had such a special time here, would definitely recommend anyone to come here at least once for an incredible experience!

They said no refunds but can use the booking credit to rescheduled. We took them by their word. Once all parties involved were healthy and able to make the trip we called to rescheduled and they told us since it wasn't in writing they were not honoring it, and we are out our 1k+ purchase. Business decisions like this should not be supported by consumers who care. We could have gone and gave everyone covid, we opt'd to do the right thing. If only they did the same, instead of blatantly lying.

Wow, if you are in Raleigh you definitely have to check out Crawford & Son. When you arrive parking…read moreis pretty difficult as the restaurant is located on person street. You'll want to park on a side street and walk up to the restaurant. When you walk into the restaurant you'll be transported to a dark, warm, intimate, and buzzy neighborhood vibe. I'd definitely recommend booking a reservation to ensure you are able to get a table. Once we were seated I started by ordering the Long Time Listener Cocktail (Bourbon, Blackberry, Mint, Fernet-Branca) which was excellent and probably my favorite drink of the evening. For my other drink I tried the Structured Settlement (coconut washed tequila, peach, popcorn orgeat, and lime). This drink was also good, but not as good as the long time listener. For food, we started with the Manchego-Herb Biscuits which were flaky, soft, and didn't need any butter. After that we tried the Heirloom Tomato Salad (provencal granola, mozzarella ice cream, and peaches) which was perfect. The large tomato with the crunchy granola, olive oil, and mozzarella and peaches were the perfect blend of flavors. I couldn't stop eating this dish. Next, we tried the Half Smoke Sausage (roasted peppers, garlic aioli, balsamic onion jus) which surprised me. The sausage had a bit of a spicy flavor, the roasted peppers were prepared perfectly, and overall the flavors paired perfectly together. We also ordered the Bucatini (sea urchin, gulf prawn, spicy tomato sauce) which was good with the pasta and all of the flavors mixed together. The last appetizer we ordered was the yellowfin tuna crudo (honeydew, Fresno chili, shiso, tom yum ice) which was perfect. The sliced honeydew with the raw yellowfin was so good!! For the entree we split the Grilled Bavette Steak (potato rosti, shishito pepper, and sauce choron). The steak cut like butter and was cooked perfectly. For dessert we ordered the blueberry upside down cake (popcorn streusel, sweet corn ice cream) which had fresh blueberries and I couldn't stop eating this dish. I'll have to add Crawford & Son to my regular Raleigh restaurant rotation as this meal was excellent. Looking forward to my next visit.

However, during my visit for dinner yesterday, I witnessed something that was extremely disturbing and completely changed my impression of the restaurant. I observed what appeared to be the manager, Bailey, reprimanding the hostess and then reaching toward and touching/grabbing at her cleavage area while saying something to her. The hostess appeared to be very young, possibly around 19 or 20, and she looked visibly uncomfortable and frightened. I sincerely hope this young woman is okay and that this situation is taken seriously and thoroughly addressed by Crawford & Son. No employee should ever feel intimidated, uncomfortable, or subjected to inappropriate physical contact in the workplace. The only reason I am leaving a one-star review is because of what I witnessed and what I perceived as deeply inappropriate behavior toward this young hostess. I hope management investigates this matter immediately.

However, the atmosphere is fairly low key, although there were a lot of people here dressed up (business parties?). The tapas were not my thing. I actually hate tapas and sharing small plates. It's never enough food. We had calamari/goat cheese/margherita flat bread. The calamari was sub par and the goat cheese was too small a portion. The flatbread was good. My meal, pan seared scallops, was a really good. The scallops were huge! Loved the garlic mashed potatoes! Would highly recommend! Service was quick. The only downside I had was the massive gout in my toe the following day from eating all those large scallops. If you are prone to gout, be weary of the scallops!

We sat in the bar area and had the bartender as our server, and from the moment we were seated, it felt like we were an inconvenience. It took multiple check-ins from three different servers just to get the few things we requested, which made the experience feel unnecessarily difficult. The food was okay overall, but the whipped goat cheese was absolutely a 10/10 and definitely the highlight of the meal. One thing that was disappointing was being charged an additional $3 for more bread because the initial serving simply wasn't enough for the dish. I hope for a much more welcoming and attentive experience next time.

The first time we tried to go was on a Sunday around 2 pm and it was over a half hour wait even though the dining room had quite a few empty tables, so we chose to try another time. The following weekend we tried Saturday at 1pm and had no problem getting a table. One of the things that had drawn us to the place was the online menu and it was a huge disappointment to be handed a menu that didn't have any of the items I had been hoping to try. Gone were all of the plates...no piri piri chicken or clam frites, and the apricot pasilla wings were also gone. Thankfully the deviled eggs were still there and they are fantastic! Also fantastic was the Shrimp Burger, which is an actual patty made out of shrimp and grilled. For a side, I asked for potato salad instead of fries or tots, and that was some amazing potato salad, but it would have been nice to be given a heads up that it was a $2.50 upcharge. (worth it though). Husband enjoyed his french dip and polished off every one of his tots, although he did say they were a bit over-fried. As for drinks, both of us liked ours. I had a white wine I had never heard of before and he had a dirty martini. Both good, but both on the small side. But hey, they've got a big shiny new restaurant to pay for. Parking: There's a garage right across the street from the entrance that has 2-hour retail parking available for free, but you have to register your car. Do know that if you forget to do it in the garage, the restaurant has the code on the hostess stand, so you can scan it and register it there.
