Courtney was wonderful and helped us through all of the details and planning as well as managing the timeline on the day of the event. She recommended an excellent DJ (Royal Lewis) and made other excellent sugestions without any pressure. She worked hard to make sure the event exemplified my daughter's vision and was kept within budget. The food was delicious and portions were generous. The room was beautifully arranged. The staff could not have been more helpful. Our guests continue to compliment the event. It was truly a beautiful day.

Upon meeting Jill, our instructor and the co-owner/founder, I calmed down quite a bit. I think I fully came out of my shell mid-way through the semester, and then I liked it so much, I signed up for level two. I had so much fun! I haven't flexed these muscles since drama class in high school (no way am I telling you how long that's been - but it's been a LONG time). Jill creates a safe space and lets you explore in your own way. She gives prompts, clarifies, and gives excellent feedback; it truly is a fun time. I enjoyed getting to know my classmates; we all come from different backgrounds, but bonded really nicely. I have also popped in for Leela's drop-in sessions on Thursdays. That is an entirely different experience, but also very fun. They also do a free first Friday event each month, so if you are curious, I recommend signing up for that first. Raleigh is lucky to have such a great space with such wonderful people, and I'm lucky to have found them. :)

I made the trek from Durham in rush our traffic bc I was curious to see how this class would be structured as some one who took a level and and level 2 class like 4 years ago in Durham. I was surprised by the class size but overall think that it worked out pretty well with the activities that were planned. The instructor and owner were both great! It's a decent space overall too! Thank you for the laughs, I am actually considering maybe signing up once a month to break up the normal routine and bring more laughter into my life!

A friend is a member so we sometimes grab lunch here when we need a little break from work. Everything is always absolutely delicious and the service is top notch. I think I have always ordered the seasonal salad (changes each season) with grilled salmon on top. However, the sandwiches, sides and soups always look amazing as well. Portions are generous, too. It's usually quiet at lunch with a nice view of the golf course. It's a little oasis in the middle of Raleigh.

My in-laws are members at a different McConnell club and my Father in-law wanted to book a round of golf here while he was visiting us in Raleigh. We went in for brunch on a dreary Sunday morning and the place was dead. We were the only ones there for a solid hour and a half. It started to fill up again after 12pm. They did mention it is busier when it is a nice golf day, this day happened to be cold and rainy. The pastry chef was manning the omelet station she was was friendly and engaging. Our server was also friendly and close by when we needed something. The room with the bar has a beautiful wall of windows that overlook the golf course and since we could pick any seat we chose one in there. I ordered the orzo soup on the suggestion of the waitress and it was awesome, the blackened fish sandwich was huge and also quite good. I saw they have house ipads for kids to play with and keep them occupied while they eat which I thought was awesome! Overall if my in laws are in town would be happy to head in again!

Koskinen Stadium is located on the Duke University campus, right near the Cameron Indoor basketball…read morestadium. This is the home field for Duke soccer and lacrosse teams. With three entrance allowing easy access to each part of the field and the many seating options. The seats are all raised metal benches (bring a seat cushion) however most of the benches do have metal backings that make it more comfortable during games. The bathrooms here have been recently upgraded to be large, heated and always seem so clean. I've never had to wait since there are so many stalls. The stadium also has a concession stand that offers a few snacks and drinks to purchase. Hot chocolate and coffee are always popular during the cooler weather. Iv'e had a slice of pizza here( just ok, but fills you up) Lot's of candy and chips for a quick boost. I really like this stadium, very convenient location and lots of parking to allow easy access.

A Downtown Raleigh Gem!…read more U B Paintin N Sip'n is such a unique and delightful spot! Ms. Juanita was an absolute joy to work with--her warm and welcoming attitude made our private birthday event a blast. She let us choose our own music, creating the perfect "go with the flow" vibe for the evening. Our group had so much fun that we're already planning our next visit! The bear painting activity was super creative and a hit with everyone. Being located downtown was another major plus--after our event, it was so convenient to head to the next spot and keep the night going. This is definitely one of Downtown Raleigh's hidden treasures, and I can't wait to support it again!

The few fall and spring classes for adults at Samuel H Scripps studios have, in my experience, been geared towards a pretty high experience and skill level.
