Came here for a work dinner, and it was the PERFECT spot. Great ambiance. Not too crowded. Excellent service. Upscale spot without being too pricey. It was fun doing shared plates across everyone. I don't think I could recommend a more solid spot for a corporate group dinner in downtown Raleigh. Everyone greatly enjoyed and the food was tasty all around. read more

I went to their first brunch weekend and it was awesome. The shutters were open because the weather was nice and the restaurant is beautiful. I bet they get walk ins on nice days. I dare you not to get the Pistachio Baklava French Toast. It's so freaking good and even kiddos liked it. The Benedict is also a classic and the burrata app is one of the best I've had. I can't wait to try the lamb hash and dive into their big cocktail menu. The table behind me had a cool shareable cocktail bowl. Great place to bring friends, it's one of the best looking restaurants in town. read more

I was taken away by the glass art !! thankfully I was sat right in front of it and being honest the Art was the only reason I picked this restaurant but was amaze on how Amazing the food was. We spent around $140 before tip for 2. Keep in mind this is not a typical Mediterranean restaurant came in asking for rice LOL they don't serve rice. The whole restaurant has an uplifting vibe. The guy who served us was very polite and attentive. We'll be back! read more

This spot was 10/10. The decor was beautiful and thoughtful all the way down to the plates and utensils. I really enjoyed all the food we tried-- we shared a bunch of smaller plates and appetizers. Standouts were the artichoke, shrimp, burrata flight and mussels. Each of the dishes was a unique take on a classic. Would definitely come back read more

I loved the zucchini chips!! They were seasoned with savory spices and crispy. The sauce complimented the chips perfectly. The beef skewers were cooked well, and I loved the harissa yogurt. We had a wonderful waitress who was attentive and made great suggestions. I chose to visit this restaurant because of the atmosphere. I loved the ambient lighting and artistic walls. I will be back for drinks and food! read more

My GF and I came for their Fire and Fermentation wine dinner and WOW! Shoutout to our server Mike (incredible service) and to the manager Meridith who made sure we were good and last but not least it least to Chef Roberto who created and executed a PERFECT meal and experience for an unreasonably low price ($100/pp + tax and 20% service charge) The dining room really creates an atmosphere that sets the stage for the meal. You've kind of got to see it at least once. I attached the menu and honestly each course was better than the last. So much creativity and skill. We will be back soon to try the main menu and plan to leave full read more

I visited for my birthday this month and had an amazing experience. I came later in the evening when it was just a few people just how I like it. The restaurant is simply stunning and great for photos. The Food: We started with the Warm Goat cheese and the flavor was by far the best I've had. Next, we shared the meatballs and Patatas Bravas, and finished it with the Mixed Grill. Everything was so delicious, our service was top-tier, and stomachs surely full. Can't wait to return! read more

When visiting Raleigh, we had a delicious dinner with excellent drinks. The decor is absolutely lovely and I felt momentarily transported to a Mediterranean location somewhere. We all tried something different -I had the burrata flight and a beet salad. The burrata flight would have been better shared, but I enjoyed it! My friends both had pasta and we enjoyed some fresh bread with the meal. The service was outstanding. The prices are very reasonable and I would recommend sharing a few dishes with friends. read more

We came for Vidrio's NYE dinner and party event. While the food was good, the execution of this event could use improvement. From waiting 15+ minutes to be sat when we had a reservation, to waiting 30+ minutes for our first course (and all other courses), barely being visited by the servers, and then the staff not having a single clue about what was listed in the offering (re: wine pairing/cocktail pairing), this event missed the mark for me. What I did love was the food, the fact that we were able to sit at our table the whole night, and the upstairs bar. In the future, I hope management will have more staff not just for servers but also for the chefs for an event like this. There were snacks at the end that would have been better served at the beginning when we were waiting 30+ minutes for our food. It honestly would have probably changed my opinion of the event. Overall, we enjoyed the food and the time we got to spend with our friends. I would definitely recommend Vidrio but maybe not for an event like this. read more

The server Imani was beyond great. She made excellent recommendations. She even explained the reason behind the decor of the restaurant. The food. My goodness. Definitely the best brunch I've had in a while and I cannot wait to go back. My sister had the pistachio French toast. I tasted it, and it was amazing. My chicken sandwich was so good and flavorful. The potatoes and the side of grits. My goodness. And the hummus. Oh and the twist on mimosas, Perfect touch. Please go. This is something new and the chef did not disappoint. read more

Came in for desserts one evening because we enjoy the ambience. Desserts were Ok. We love Vidrio as our prior visits for dinner were a smashing success. Desserts.....Maybe just not what we expected? Lemon Cake with gelato...the gelato was the star of the show. Cake kind of lacked flavor and was a bit dry. Chocolate cake was good. Service was 1000% on the mark (sat in the bar area). We love Vidrio... read more

Vidrio - Mediterranean Near Me - Raleigh, North Carolina

We came here at the recommendation of our friends and were so pleasantly surprised. You'd never know about this place on Glenwood as it's not advertised in your face. When you enter this place, it feels as if you're walking into a resort.. or a foreign country. (Not everyone will feel this way, but it reminds of a really posh oversea restaurant from my past). The hostess walks you toward the seating area and immediately you are greeted by the wall of plate bowls... which is absolutely beautiful. The ambiance is stunning and such a warm place to take your guests. Food was top notch and everything was so well done. Will return. read more

What a time was had! Great customer service, wait staff, and overall experience. From the time we checked in for our reservation until we left - nothing was short of amazing. The ambiance upon walking in is incredible. Inviting decor, dramatic lighting, beautiful wall art. I could go on - but this is truly a space to explore and experience in person - photos don't do it justice. Now, the most important part the food. We were there for a birthday celebration - so our party's order was large: Drinks: Saint 75 Chef's Daily Special A few margaritas Small Plates: Dressed Oysters Artisan bread Cheese Croquette Moroccan Beef Skewers Hummus Charred Octopus Patatas Bravas Large Plates: Beef Short Ribs Hanger Steak Grilled Lamb Brown Butter Half Chicken EVERYTHING was super fresh and good! The only "con" it did take awhile to receive food. For context - we checked in at 7:30 and left at 10:00. Again it was alot of food - but we did feel like the food could have moved a little bit faster. The birthday girl did receive a birthday slice of cake with ice cream - so simple yet beautiful. One thing to note: gratuity of 20% was automatically applied to our tab for a group of 5. If you aren't aware you might believe your bill was incorrect. read more

Came here for my friend's birthday, and it was so much fun! Ambiance is really beautiful I love the way they decorated the Resturant. They have ample seating as well. This is more of a tapas style Resturant, so we ordered a bunch of small plates and shared them all. Service was also not bad. We had our own cake, and they did inform us there's a cake holding fee, but they brought it out for us at the end with candles lit. Super fun and cute place for dinner! read more

We have been multiple times for events or just a meal out. Both the food and service are wonderful, with thoughtful suggestions. Drinks are imaginative as well. The main dining area can be lively (ie, loud) so maybe not the best spot for a deep conversation. the decor and layout are both gorgeous, & the bar area can be one open air when the weather is right. We recently got to try the new brunch menu & really enjoyed that as well. This is a gem! read more

Let me preface that I went to a private event at this restaurant. It was located on the 2nd floor and was transformed into a night club! Located in downtown Raleigh, this sophisticated restaurant was very accommodating for a 50th birthday party. The decor, the photo opportunities, buffet, open bar and dessert bar was impeccable. They even had a celebrity DJ and a legendary hip hop performer! I was able to experience the food- garden salad, mixed vegetables and roasted chicken. There were potatoes too but I skipped them to save my carbs for the cocktails. My choice of drink was an Old Fashion with Bulleit Whiskey. The bartenders took pride in every cocktail they made - nothing was premade here. It did take a bit longer to get served but it was worth watching the bartenders work their magic! Overall, I'd love to come back to try the menu options in the main dining room. The location is in a really bustling part of the city and I got a taste of Raleigh. read more

The vibe and aesthetic was truly sublime. It was fun to take out of state visitors here! We ordered a lot of small plates to share for 4 people and loved most of the food.

The service was above average and they were flexible regarding where we wanted to sit in the beautiful dining area! read more

Vidrio - Aesthetic. - Mediterranean Near Me - Raleigh, North Carolina

My fiancé and I had a positive first experience at Vidrio. The space is genuinely impressive--expansive and beautifully designed. Our server Mike was friendly and attentive throughout the meal. We started with drinks: a beer for me and an espresso martini for my fiancé, though hers skewed too sweet. Since we were hungry, we ordered two appetizers--the burrata trio and the potatoes--both were solid choices. For mains, I enjoyed my pork chop, which was well-prepared. My fiancé's pasta, while clearly fresh, unfortunately lacked flavor. Vidrio offers good variety on the menu, including solid options for pescatarians. It's worth a visit, especially if you appreciate beautiful dining spaces. However, in Raleigh's competitive restaurant scene, the ambience is really what sets it apart--the food itself doesn't quite reach the same level. read more

We used to LOVE coming to Vidrio and raved about it to everyone. We returned last night with out of town guests and left disappointed and embarrassed by how we hyped it up. The server was okay but seemed poorly trained and definitely nervous. The menu has changed, perhaps the chef or the recipes of the classics too. Nothing was outstanding, just decent, and not at all what we were accustomed to at this gorgeous restaurant. The Moroccan skewers were probably the only thing without significant changes. No halloumi on the menu or that amazingly addicting chicken. The grilled little gem salad replacing the grilled romaine was poorly executed and limp comparatively. The grilled octopus was very chewy and tough. The patatas bravas were bland and dry, not tossed in the sauce, just spread across a dish. The fettuccini "carbonara" was just a bland Alfredo with peas, lacking any real flavor or texture - not at all like the former version. The mixed grill was so basic and very sad portion sizes for the price. Unfortunate cost cutting measures. The atmosphere was pretty dead too, not many guests or music or anything that felt like life. Maybe the town has caught on to the changes and moved on too. PS - can you please fix the projectors on the stage?! They don't even come close to lining up with the screens and it cheapens it so much. read more

Came to have dinner with my friend. The restaurant is beautiful, sexy, great vibes. Our server Astrid was great! I ordered a few small plates: octopus, bread plate, and oysters. Oysters were great. Loved the flavor. The octopus was VERY chewy. It had good flavor, but the texture was off. The bread plate was ok. The prices for some of these plates were SO over priced. Like very over reaching. I was just so disappointed with that octopus. Great atmosphere for drinks, and hanging out read more

Another excellent meal at this spectacular spot. The dining room is SO impressive - the decor just makes you smile and KNOW that you're going to enjoy your meal. The tapas-style meal is perfect for this setting. Taste a variety of different options, perfectly by our server Erin. Thanks, Erin for making the experience a pleasure. Your expertise to explain each dish, timing to make sure service wasn't rushed and your smile and charm are all very much appreciated! I can't say that there was a standout. Everything was delicious from drinks to dessert. This is the kind of place that you want to take a date, you want to bring family and friends, you want to bring a business associate. Delicious to the eyes and the palate. read more

Dined here for my birthday & enjoyed every single moment. Reservations for 3 were originally set for 6:00 pm and we were able to make a quick modification to update it to 6:15pm without a fuss. Things to consider before booking a reservation : - Small plates can be shared -the menu is smaller than the avg. (not a bad thing as it commits to the dish on the menu) - if you're ordering with a large group, keep in mind all items may come out at a separate times -the food is delicious Would recommend! read more

From the minutes you walk in.....you are immersed art and architecture. From the Chihuly-esqe wall of blown glass to the indoor fire pit, i was anxiously awaiting the menu. (Ask the staff about the wall of glass) And the menu and food didn't disappoint. Mezze dishes ordered were Fried Artichoke, Grilled Octopus, warm goat cheese, kebabs. Of this, the winner was absolutely the fried artichokes, then the goat cheese. For dinner the cioppino, halibut and hanger steak. Omg....so perfectly done. Run...do not walk to Vidrio. May be one of the best places ive eaten in Downtown in years!!!! read more

I came here for the first time for a graduation dinner and was immediately taken by the beautiful interior of the restaurant. The lighting and decor gave the whole place a very fancy and upscale vibe. The dinner took place in a private room upstairs and was buffet style which I did not know prior to arriving. I was slightly disappointed by the food options because every dish - except the bread and vegetables - was covered in cheese (which I cannot eat). No fault to Vidrio for this, the staff who organized the dinner should have asked about food allergies / intolerances beforehand but oh well. Regardless, I did enjoy the food that I tried, the bread was soft and the vegetables were well seasoned. I also tried some of the chicken (after removing the bacon it was wrapped in and as much of the cheese as I could) and enjoyed it as well. I also got an aperol spritz which was very good, maybe my favorite thing from the whole evening. All of the staff members were kind and helpful and I thought they did a great job of hosting a private party for a large group! read more

service was terrible -- they forgot my order but at least they comp'ed the bread (but why was bread $8 in the first place??). i ended up just getting my food to go but they forgot the honey with the bread and gave a tiny amount of yogurt. food was fine, for the price. overall a very limited menu, especially for a place that touts itself for mediterranean cuisine. i actually really enjoyed the patatas bravas, which were tossed in this delectably creamy and sour paprika sauce. as someone who enjoys sour things, i loved it, but i think its polarizing. cheese croquettes were yummy as well, could definitely taste the manchego, but were sweeter than i would've liked. from there, things rapidly went downhill. the only "main" aka small dish combo that i would order again is the carrots-- so soft, sweet, and cuminy. mari's octopus was saltier than the sea and the beef skewers were aight. read more

My partner and I first visited Vidrio a couple of months ago and had a truly wonderful and intimate experience. The atmosphere was beautiful, there was a live band playing, the food was absolutely delicious, and the service was warm and attentive. That evening left such a great impression that we were excited to return for Restaurant Week. Unfortunately, our most recent visit on a Friday night was disappointing, particularly in terms of service. While we expected a busier environment due to the weekend and Restaurant Week crowd, the service we received was well below the standard of our previous visit. We ordered from the prix fixe menu and also added a wine flight and an extra appetizer. After a brief introduction from our server, we were essentially ignored for the rest of the evening. It took quite a while for our first course to arrive, which we were willing to overlook given the circumstances. However, we were never checked on--not once--to ask how we were enjoying our food, drinks, or whether we needed anything. When we mentioned at the end of the meal that our additional appetizer never came out, our server showed no real concern or apology. At first, we assumed he was just overwhelmed, but it became painfully clear that other tables around us were receiving attentive service--water refills, friendly check-ins, etc.--while we were repeatedly passed over. It felt like we were being treated differently, and regardless of the reason (be it age, appearance, or something else), it was disheartening. We asked for our dessert to-go and requested the check, simply wanting to end an otherwise enjoyable evening on our own terms. Lawrence G, our server, may very well be capable of providing great service--as we witnessed at nearby tables--but unfortunately, that was not extended to us. Vidrio is a beautiful restaurant with outstanding food and ambiance, and we know it can be a fantastic dining experience. But hospitality matters. Consistency and fairness in service are essential, and sadly, this visit left us feeling unseen and unwelcome. We will probably return but it will not be any time soon. read more

We went here with 5 friends who were visiting from Chicago. Very large space w interesting decor and vibe. I had the cioppino, which was bland. My buddies had the pork chop; I had a taste and it was great. The waitress brought us the wrong bottles of wine - Chianti Classico instead of Dolcetto d'Alba. I would go back, but Raleigh has a lot of other good restaurants that are ahead in the queue. read more

Vidrio gets a 5-star review from me! This place is beautiful, the service is superb and the food is delicious. This restaurant is centrally located in Raleigh in a section of the city with a few restaurants, hotels and bars within walking distance. The menu has quite a few options, and you can get virtually any drink from the full bar. My wife and I went on a late Saturday afternoon for an early dinner, and ordered the Charred Octopus, Hanger Steak and Local Burrata. Everything was delicious, I mean EVERYTHING! The service was great, common areas and restrooms were clean, and the decoration is beautiful (refer to the photos for details). There are quite a few affordable parking spots right in front of the restaurant. Overall, 100% recommended and we are definitely coming back! read more
