    Caesar salad & bread
    Giuliana G.

    I love it here!! One of my favorite third spaces in Raleigh. The vibe and messaging is vibrant and empowering. I looove the champagne glassware. I'm glad they're not serving the Caesar salad in full Romaine pieces you need to cut up anymore. Perfect spot for a girls night. Staff is friendly and nonjudgmental. It's expensive.

    Orange wine, La Cello, s'mores board

    RBF is the best bar/lounge for people (especially women) that want a causal but upscale experience for a fun night out without the typical "bar" crowd and vibe. Offering red, white, orange, organic, sparkling etc. glasses/flutes, to champagne/cuvee flights to exquisite + rare champagne bottles there is definitely a range of tasting preferences and price points. They have indoor and outdoor seating, tables, couches bar and high tops, and the live music nights are so fun. The owner Tiffany usually is seating and greeting guests at the door, curates an incredible menu, hosts a range of events (craft nights to political fundraisers to bridal showers), and the vibes are women-owned/LGBT+ welcoming. Restrooms are exceptionally clean and thoughtful (you'll see what I mean). They also have a great food menu; think charcuterie boards, warm baguettes with baked brie, snacks/shareables, and even dessert like a s'mores board. Favorites include their orange wine, La Cello (a vintage sparking by the glass from Valle de Guadalupe), any bottle Tiffany or Chelsea reccos, and again-- don't sleep on the live music nights under the cafe lights.

    Cute.

    What a find! RBF is a cool champagne bar with a well thought out selection of wines and bites. The space is nicely decorated as well. Although every inch appears to be covered, it's not stuffy and quite cozy. The vibe is chill and the music is great. The hubs and I enjoyed our first visit of many to come. The staff was attentive and helpful in walking us through the menu and offering advice on our selections. We settled on the Fierce & Fiesty wine flight, the lumberjack charcuterie board, and the croissants w/ garlic butter. All were delicious, prices are fair, and the portions and pours were great. We left feeling satisfied and happy to have found a new chill spot to add to our local repertoire. Cheers to your success!

    I've gone a couple of times. Now, I do find it's Decor intriguing and they do have interesting specials and yummy items to choose from to eat. We got a couple of student sandwiches and the frizen drink for the winter in July theme they had going on who were all great. However, each time I felt like it's very cliquish in there and the glasses of champagne can be quite expensive. We're looking at about 20 plus per glass, so get ready to shell that out. They do have champagne flights that run around 50 bucks. They have inside seating outside seating in a bar seating. There was Music Entertainment the last time I went. Again, it just seems kind of clicky and not that I need anyone to be my friend but it just didn't feel very welcoming as in a place that you would want to spend a lot of time and once you got there. The first time I went it was kind of the same vibe so I'm not sure that it would change if I was to go a third.

    Cheers!

    Absolutely adore this place! The service was outstanding, the environment was welcoming from the moment you walk in! The drinks were delicious, I can't wait to come back & have a charcuterie board! The decor was absolutely unforgettable, I felt safe & seen & completely relaxed surrounded by women that were having a good time! We had a wedding cake tasting boxes we brought in & the staff was so accommodating!

    Fun spot for live music and girl time! Great list of beverage options and food. Great service!

    Super cute place in a great location! They have limited hours and about 45 mins after they opened it was packed!!! They have a lot of charcuterie boards you can choose from or other smaller apps, lots of different types of wine! It's a great place! Service was great as well

    The Suit charcuterie board
    Maryellen S.

    This place was suggested to me in a downtown Cary forum when I asked for recommendations for a girl's night out. So many people enthusiastically recommended RBF (with exclamation marks) it was hard to ignore. The vibe at RBF is more like a big city destination than someplace you'd expect to find in Cary. First, you can't see it from the street and have to walk downstairs (or take an elevator down). That gives it a cool factor...you have to know where it is. And once you get in, there's a kind of insulated, off the beaten path feeling. I met a new friend there and we shared a bottle of champagne and split a charcuterie board (The Suit). The menu is very clever and entertaining. Given that I'm a professional writer I have to give RBF props for the work that it took to create the humorous menu descriptions. Think Trader Joe's product descriptions with an edge. **Piollot Brut Nature 130 Btl 100% Pinot Noir No one puts baby in the corner for this one. Grab your Patrick Swayze for this crispy, tree fruity, nutty, and earthy dance lift in the water. I can guarantee that you will have the time of your life. ***A Chickpea is Neither a Chick Nor a Pea. Discuss Amongst Yourselves. ***Good in Bread. There was live music, kind of a Stevie Nicks vibe, sans the hippy chick shawl or fringe. RBF is an acronym for Resting Bitch Face and when you realize that, the wry humor of the artwork becomes kind of an inside joke. RBF has a living-wage business model, so you might find it a little pricier than some other places, but I believe this contributes to the relaxed atmosphere. You don't get that kind of desperate server hustling vibe that sometimes overtakes a Saturday night. Lastly, I have to mention that in the restroom there are toiletries in a basket which is such a great amenity. What girl doesn't need a little hair spray in this humidity? As someone always trying to cram way to much into an evening bag I really appreciated the little comforts usually found in nice hotels. I'm really looking forward to going again to try some of the more unusual sparkling wines. Also, they have some community discussion events that look interesting and sophisticated. Highly recommended, a truly great place for women to hang out and spend quality time with each other. Definitely check out the very thoughtful artwork while you're there.

    WOMAN OWNED. Let's start with that's. Sorry for yelling. But we loved a safe space for the women. Ended up her during a girls day and we had a blast. This place is so empowering. Tons of pics of women who have made history in many different ways. Lots of couches and comfy chairs to sit in. There is also an outdoor patio as well. Make sure you go down the stairs to find the door! We had a few glasses of wine, the artichoke dip and also both flavors of chips. The music was also fire. I can't wait to come back!

    Holly K.

    Overall a very beautiful and thoughtfully decorated space. I love the concept as well and they have a great variety of champagne/wine. The downsides are, it's hard to find parking. I appreciate the pricing that tip is included, but then when you go to pay the tip option starts at around 20%, I would totally add on an additional 5-10% if that were an option. I also thought it was weird that your server won't bring you water. You have to go over to the water station at the side of the bar, for the prices it just seems like the server could drop off a jug of water. All that aside, the vibe is fun in there. The service is super friendly and casual. The server will chat you through champagne/wine options if you are unsure of what to go for. The champagne flight is basically whatever bottles they have open that day, random, but a good way to try something new. I love how thoughtful they even were with decorating the bathroom, you can tell they thought of everything. They have a great patio and if it's nice they open up the sliding glass door walls so it's like an indoor outdoor vibe.

    I'm a female that loves champagne and beautiful decor; how could I not love RBF?! Everything about this bar is very well thought out- the menu has so many great options and the snacks all sounded delicious (and written with a great sense of humor). My husband and I both enjoyed a glass of champagne and the ambiance. RBF has a very cozy and inviting vibe, which makes you want to chill at their bar all evening. We hope to visit again soon-I'd love to try the champagne flight next time.

    Another nice addition to downtown Cary, RBF brings an upscale drinking option along with small plates for the area! I had stopped by during its soft opening and the place was jammed so came back during a quieter time. RBF sits out back, behind Bull City Ciderworks, and offers a nice lit patio along with a well-designed interior. So much to look at inside, the main action is at the bar to the left. They've got about 60 varieties of champagne and sparkling wine available by the glass or bottle. The menu also has a nice selection of small plates and charcuterie, RBF will be adding brunch in the near future. Note that RBF pays a living wage so tipping is not required and that is factored into their prices. The space is lively, there's a lot to look at but as you may guess, it's a drinking spot that's heavily female. So your mileage may vary if you're a dude. All in all, it seems like a fun spot, even though it might not be my spot! But for a girls night out, you probably couldn't find a better place to start with in Cary.

    Love the Decor #RBF...
    Gretchen C.

    Couldn't wait to visit RBF the new Champagne and wine bar downtown Cary because it's honestly in walking distance and a great addition to all the new establishments opening up downtown. Service was great and quick. The wine section is great..But the Ambiance is really what's amazing.. Think High end with a local feel.. (I did this review a few months after they opened and it's been sitting in my drafts, I hope service is still the same)

Their roast beef panini is on par with Portillo's a long standing Chicago beef restaurant (IYKYK). I've NEVER had a beef sandwich that was better than Portillo's but Postino you managed to take a hometown classic and elevate it to a point beyond my expectations - if you get this sandwich I recommend getting it on the ciabatta bread versus focaccia. Let's not overlook the tomato soup - it's so rich and flavorful. For a lighter lunch my go to is the tuna panini with broccoli salad. They are known for their boards, I've not had the bruschetta yet but it looks delicious. My favorite board is the hummus. One thing I hate is when a restaurant gives you a big bowl of hummus and not enough pita. That is not the case here, you'll get pita, toasted bread, and a variety of vegetables to scoop up the velvety humus covered in cherry tomatoes, red onion and feta. For date night enjoy a Violet Femme a gin cocktail that tastes as lovely as it looks. The service here is top notch! Everyone is fantastic. I'll have to come back to this review to note the serves names we've had because they have all been exceptional. Now let's talk about the vibe! Postino's nailed the indoor/outdoor feel. Plenty of windows that are open on nice days, plants galore and the decor gives you a cool like rockstar but classy feel. 5 stars doesn't feel like enough.

We started with a build-your-own charcuterie board featuring soppressata, prosciutto, Manchego, Pecorino, Cheddar, and Camembert. The meats and cheeses were all excellent, and the variety made it a perfect pairing for exploring Cru's extensive wine list. For my entrée, I had the Wagyu Picanha steak with papas bravas and the "jumbo" asparagus. The steak was cooked to a perfect medium rare and was wonderfully flavorful. The papas bravas were equally delicious. The asparagus, however, gave us a good laugh--it must have been on a diet because there was absolutely nothing "jumbo" about it! We also ordered the Barolo-braised short rib, which was incredibly tender, rich, and packed with flavor. It practically melted in your mouth. Dessert was the Tiramisu Cake, and it was outstanding. Rich, creamy, and perfectly balanced, it was the ideal ending to a great meal. Between the fantastic food, relaxed atmosphere, and seemingly endless wine selection, Cru is a place we'll gladly return to. Just don't judge the asparagus by its menu description!

    THOROUGHLY DISAPPOINTED…read more I had high hopes and those were quickly dashed when we entered. The music while not blaring, was definitely too loud for the type of establishment CRU is meant to be. The layout was not at all cozy, the chairs were hard and uncomfortable, the bathrooms were not tidy. We ordered a flight of white and a flight of red white. All were OK, nothing memorable. The food was a huge letdown. We ordered the fritto misto, everything save the 3 large shrimp was way, WAY overcooked. Whoever fried the food had to have seen it was over because all the breading had fallen off. They obviously didn't care as they tossed it in the bowl anyway. The charcuterie board was Food Lion quality, the cheese in particular (goat and Manchego) were bland and devoid of character. Our server was obviously in the wrong line of work. She never checked how our food was but instead spent her time chatting with another young (very disheveled) lady. When we asked the country of origin of the ONE prosecco that CRU offers, our server replied, "Dunno, it's European."
