Welcome to the new site
Welcome to the site. It’s been a long time coming: The idea behind this site is to write reviews of food at different restaurants in downtown Raleigh and the surrounding area. DTR is quickly growing and has become a destination for dining and entertainment in the Raleigh, NC and surrounding areas.
I live and work downtown so I usually eat and spend my free time in the area as well. Numerous restaurants, bars and clubs have opened recently and there are many more scheduled to open soon. Friends are always asking me where to go for different occasions, so I thought I’d write about what I get into.
I’m going to focus mainly on the positive experiences I have. I’m not out to bash any establishments because I honestly believe people in general want me to have a good experience in their establishment. So, most of what you read will be excellent reviews, but if I have a multiple bad experiences in one place, I’ll write about that as well.
With that said, I want to stress that downtown Raleigh is a great place to eat, if you are open to new eating experiences and foods, there are tons of places to try.

A couple notes I wanted to add. I work for Ulanguzi, Inc., we designed and host downtownraleigh.com along with several other sites for downtown businesses. We however are not taking any type of editorial direction from any outside groups. I just wanted it to be known that everything expressed here is the true opinion of the author and not something trying to inflate the image of any establishments.
If anyone is going to leave comments, please only leave positive comments. Like I said above, we’re not trying to bash any establishment, this is simply a place to talk about the fun food/experiences to be had downtown. We decided this because open reviews in places like Citysearch are tainted by competing restaurateurs that like to bash their competition. We reserve the right to remove any negative comments.
So, I guess, on with the reviews.
