- RRitaVIPRaleigh / Durham / Chapel Hill •26 reviews4.0Dined 1 day agoI love this place. Sad that it had no Valentine’s menu. Nothing very special. Food is always good but the experience has lost its luster. We had dessert but they were out of coffee. Grrrr. Interestingly enough it’s not the first time we have been told that coffee was out. Made me wonder if they just told customers that because at 8:30 at night that they didn’t want to make another pot. I just feel like the restaurant needs the spark it once had.More infoOn The SquarePrice: Moderate• Contemporary American• Tarboro•4.9
- MMollyRaleigh / Durham / Chapel Hill •3 reviews5.0Dined 4 days agoAmazing food in a warm, cozy atmosphere. Great for a dinner date on the fancier side. The Ravioli alla Salvatore is my favorite dish - the flavor of cream sauce was 10/10.More infoNino’s Cucina ItalianaPrice: Expensive• Italian• Greenville•4.9

- RRodRaleigh / Durham / Chapel Hill •6 reviews5.0Dined on Feb 1, 2025This place is a hidden gem in our little sleepy town. We had only been here one time before and had a great experience and as a resident sometimes take for granted of the great places we have here in Bailey. I highly recommend.More infoLeaning Tree Italian RestaurantPrice: Moderate• Italian• Wilson•4.7
- SSonjaRaleigh / Durham / Chapel Hill •1 review5.0Dined on Sep 12, 2024This was my second time going and everything was great!! We did not have to wait before being seated. The I had the Shrimp Hakka Bowl and my husband had the salmon. I should have gotten the mild spice level because the medium was spicy. We were celebrating my husband’s birthday, so they had a special treat for him! The first time, we celebrated my parents’ anniversary and they celebrated them, too! They made our dining experience great and were very attentive to our needs!! I strongly recommend eating at Lime and Lemon, in Jacksonville. I would be interested to know if the other locations have the same service? I guess I’ll have to find out!!More infoLime & Lemon Fusion Grill & Bar - JacksonvillePrice: Moderate• Indian• Jacksonville•4.4
