    We have been going to Peak since it opened. Great restaurant for a special dinner with friends or romantic dinner for two. This visit we met the owner, who told us a bit about the building’s history. We had a quiet room to ourselves, and a wonderful meal. The menu has something for everyone. And the food was delicious. We will keep coming back to this special spot in Apex.

    The meal was meh. Not sure I’d come back. I don’t know what the hype is about this place.

    It being Valentines Day, Peak was busier than usual, even later in the evening. Nonetheless, the service was great, as were the cocktails and dinners. It’s a favorite spot for a nice dinner out.

    We went there for lunch on Valentine’s Day. I had high expectations due to very fond memories from few years ago when it was called Peak City Grill.First of all there was no afford made to create the atmosphere of Valentine’s Day. According their website the Valentine’s dinner menu was supposed to be offered from 11:00 am- 9:00 pm. No such luck. So we ordered from regular lunch menu. The food wasn’t impressive to say the least. Even my non alcoholic cocktail tasted bad. Bottom line- I wouldn’t recommend to go there for any special occasion. I’ll avoid the place altogether!

    Not worth the price. Been here many times and they have changed menus a few times now and really it is just not worth the price. $40+ for what is now a mediocre quality meal. Cocktails $10.75 but change to Woodford and you’re talking $17+ per drink. Figure out if they want to be pricey and good quality or just a good value for a DT Apex meal but this weird mix is pushing customers away.

    Service was excellent and everyone was very friendly. Excellent mixed drink. We tried something new and both enjoyed the dish. We split a complimentary excellent dessert. Our Anniversary meal could not have been better!
