    This was our 2nd night in a row to dine at Juju's, we were greeted again promptly by the same Hostess from the first night ( hate I didn't get her name again) but this time she greeted me by using my name which was a very important notice for me. Our server tonight was Brea and once again she was fantastic. I asked her about several drinks and dishes which she made great recommendations. Overall experience again great and I look forward to trying yet other dishes.

    The service provided by our waiter, Seth, was excellent. He was attentive and patient. He was knowledgeable of the menu and made some great recommendations. The food was quite delicious. We had spicy lamb sausage, empanadas, arugula salad, mussels, short ribs, and cauliflower. All was prepared well and was flavorful.

    A very convenient spot to eat before attending a performance at the Cary Performing Arts Center (symphony, ballet, etc.) with a great view. We've been going there for years. Be aware however that the menu is limited, and a few years ago Tenth & Terrace stopped serving coffee (which we would typically enjoy after the meal.) Service is attentive and cheerful, and prices are reasonable.

And the food is absolutely delicious. Whoever is making it does a wonderful job. Will definitely recommend this to everyone I know. And I would definitely try it definitely. And the views are amazing.
