Salmon
Lesley L.

Really enjoyed lunch with a friend at Pro's yesterday. Ordered the wedding soup appetizer, yummy on a cold day, and grilled salmon with green beans. Food and service were both excellent.

Chicken Parm with pasta -a little cold and too thick for my taste. I'd not order this again.

Our server was really fun and responsive, a highlight of our overall experience. The restaurant itself was very busy for midday but there was a parade going on outside and it was comfortable and clean. The drinks were good albeit a tad on the pricey side. The soups and salads were very good but overall the sandwiches and entrees our group ordered were collectively rated "OK", at best. Given the price-to-quality ratio, we will probably not be back unless we plan just to grab some soup and salad. YMMV.

The scallops were amazing!!! My friend had the meat pie and that was pretty good too! It's a cute mom and poppy vibe. The limoncello was not my vibe. I wish it had a salt rim instead of a sugar rim and I wish it was more sour. Our waiter was super nice! Will go again.

This continues to be one of my favorite restaurants. Over the years the food, service and vibe have stayed consistently amazing. We often invite friends to lunch here and everyone loves it. They make a perfect aperol spritz that pair excellent with the patio and people watching. The penne al vodka is the best I've ever had, that includes Italy and I'm not even kidding. It's a MUST TRY. We come here at least once a month and we live an hour away. So obviously it's the best!

The food is only okay. The pastas we had didn't impress us, but the sandwiches are decent. The biggest issue is there isn't much volume for the price. We haven't been back in a while because the food is only okay. It's very popular, tho, there's usually almost all tables filled when we go. I got the Monet and it was alright. Good for a hot sandwich. The chipotle remoulade is a good sauce, just not very spicy. We also got the burratta, which woulda been the best thing there had we not ordered a cannoli. All in all, an okay meal but fairly expensive. We spent about $60 for two people. The ambiance is very classy and nice, tho!

Downtown Cary, NC has great newish restaurants - one of which is Pro's Epicurean. Great servers and service - friendly and helpful. And a great selection of sandwiches and entrees. We had the large charcuterie platter and some pâté. It was delicious in a fun environment.

Vanilla Layer Salted Caramel Cake
Meredith H.

On the lookout for somewhere we hadn't tried and put in an online order for take out tonight. We got the Donatello & Renaissance sandwiches, The French Onion Soup & Bruschetta du Jour, and ended with a slice of the Vanilla Layer Salted Caramel Cake. The sandwiches were excellent, fresh and flavorful. And the chips and side salad with them were perfect. The bruschetta was great, again super fresh and a fun combination of flavors. The French onion soup? To die for. It's my favorite soup and I'm always on the hunt for the best version of it and bingo. Found it. It was perfection. I could talk about this soup for hours. Perfectly balanced the bread and cheese? Absolutely nailed the perfect combination of textures and flavors. 10/10. The Salted caramel cake? Don't skip it. Do not skip it. Amazing. I was a little worried maybe it would be overly sweet because so many caramel dishes are. But no. These folks understand balance in flavors and textures and this cake is truly a work of art. I can't wait to go back, and I've already texted friends recommending they check it out!

The space is spacious and inviting, with plenty of freshly baked bread, pastries, and other tempting goodies on display. We ordered two items: Poulet au Fromage ($16.90) -- Focaccia loaded with herb-roasted chicken, cheddar cheese, Applewood bacon, tomato, and herb mayo. This sandwich was plentiful, flavorful, and seriously satisfying. Every bite was packed with delicious ingredients! Chocolate Almond Croissant ($6.31) -- Belgian chocolate and almond fondant wrapped inside a wonderfully flaky croissant and topped with roasted almonds. This was an absolute treat. The Chocolate Almond Croissant is simply to die for! While enjoying our food, I couldn't help eyeing the scones, along with their beer and wine selection. Clearly, I'll need several return visits to work my way through everything that caught my attention.

I am from Beverly Hills and I have never seen a restaurant be more out of touch in pricing. They are contributing to a class divide that is common in third world countries. If they are going to charge prices more than luxury restaurants in luxury areas they should probably clean up a lot more. Tables are filthy, they serve you with PLASTIC FORKS and the lines are atrocious bc they are understaffed. This place is a joke.

We started with the beef tartare, which was absolutely delicious, along with the bread and butter. The butter was so flavorful that it deserves a special mention on its own! For our entrées, we had the chicken cordon bleu and the steak frites. Both dishes were perfectly executed. The flavors were beautifully balanced, with nothing overpowering the other, allowing each ingredient to shine. To finish, we ordered the crème brûlée, and it was divine. It wasn't overly sweet--just smooth, creamy, and perfectly balanced. The service made the experience even more memorable. Our waiter, Red, was incredibly kind, professional, and welcoming. He was attentive without being intrusive, answered all of our questions, and made us feel genuinely cared for throughout the evening. I can't recommend Jolie enough. Every part of the experience--from the food and ambiance to the exceptional service--was outstanding. We would come back in a heartbeat. After dining here, it's easy to understand why Jolie has earned Michelin recognition. It wouldn't surprise me at all if they receive a Michelin star in the near future.

The gin fizz was light, airy, and refreshing; definitely the perfect complement to the meal. Safe to say... I WILL BE GOING BACK

Nice that they split it into two bowls for my bf and I to share! I got the steak frites. It was good, but my only complaint is it was salty. Like... salty salty. Both the steak and the fries were pretty heavily seasoned. My lips were starting to burn by the end lol. I also wish it came with garlic aioli. I saw the regular fries on the menu are served with it, and now I'm mad at myself for not asking to swap. Overall though, the service was great! The bartender was really nice, and our food came out fast. I'd definitely come back and just ask for a little less salt next time and that garlic aioli !

The décor is absolutely stunning, and the service was excellent. We visited during Christmastime and truly loved the festive decorations. Our drinks were perfect and well-crafted. For dinner, we shared the chowder, which unfortunately was underwhelming--the croutons were the best part. We then ordered the chicken, salmon, and mashed potatoes. The salmon was dry, the chicken was on the bone with very little meat, and the mashed potatoes were surprisingly disappointing. I even took them home hoping I could improve them myself. I will likely return to the Tea Room because I enjoy supporting local businesses and genuinely like their drinks and small bites, but I would not come back for dinner.

It definitely has that tea room flair with lots of wild decorations. Wallpapers with cats and astronauts, snakes hidden in roses, silhouettes of famous people including Homer Simpson and Big Foot. I like it all. The dip du jour was the best part of our meal. They had a pulled pork with cheese and bourbon and Fritos the day we went...it was really good. As was our chai which I would hope they get that right since they are a tea room. They will bring you more hot water if you want to reuse your tea press to squeeze out a little more tea from your leaves. The 10 layer salad was definitely worth it as well, I think the pimiento cheese dressing puts it over the top. I got the seafood nachos and they were just okay--mostly nachos, very little filling . Girlfriend got the quiche and thought it was okay as well. She chose this place for the gluten-free options including the scone which she loved. They clearly indicate on the menu what is gluten free and understand the safety around it. Service was okay. It wasn't bad but it wasn't the best either. We haven't been back yet but we plan on coming once or twice a year to try out the seasonal menus as well as more teas and dip's du jour. I recommend it for smaller, less filling meals such as lunch.

A Stellar Dining Experience…read more A must visit for Food Network fans because you'll actually taste all the subtle and complex flavors you hear described on Top Chef and other cooking shows. My friend and I shared the Peach Gorgonzola Salad, Voodoo Trout, Yellow Curry Pistachio Chicken and Coconut Cake. Gorgonzola is first cousin to blue cheese and not a very subtle flavor but the peach salad was beautifully presented, light, slightly tangy and perfectly balanced. The chicken had soba noodles and the trout had mahogany fire noodles. Both were absolutely delicious and I usually don't care for noodles much. The trout was perfectly cooked with one of the most complex and delicious sauces I've ever tasted. Thai basil, ginger, cumin, garlic, coconut, shellfish sauce, with shrimp, cilantro, snow peas and tomatoes. There was a tiny bit of heat (spice) that was absolute perfection in terms of balance. The coconut cake was a yellow cake with a white frosting. Comfort food texture without being heavy. There was a delicate drizzle of lemon or caramel on top...we couldn't tell but it was delicious and I'm glad we didn't skip desert. We did end up taking some leftovers home but ate a lot when we were there. The thing that surprised me the most was I was full but not stuffed. Somehow, the very hearty, earthy, food wasn't heavy. I've never been to France or Italy, but based on the way I've heard people describe the food there, Maxmillion's is most likely on par with that.

Also got a side of the brussels sprouts and they were delicious as well. The bartender did an amazing job making my drink called the cold snap. And of course I had to get a little dessert and got the mounds cake which wasn't overly sweet and very moist. This is definitely someplace. I'll bring friends and family when they come to visit.
