Midtown Grille, Raleigh/Durham

Midtown Grille, actually placed in North Hills just outside of the Raleigh Beltway, continues to impress locals and visitors with their fresh seasonal menu of regional cuisine using ingredients sourced from nearby farms. Executive Chef Scott James changes the menu fairly frequently, some particularly tasty dishes making repeat appearances from year to year alongside brand new creations that reflect the tastes of the Raleigh area. Dishes such as the chickpea-crusted oysters with a house mignonette display a hint of Southern soul food while the handmade black truffle fettucce, consisting of decadent truffles, wilted arugula and piave vecchio tossed with a wide version of fettuccine showcase the contemporary sensibilities of this refined eatery. The lunch selection is a bit more familiar than the culinary exploration seen on the dinner menu, although Midtown Grille's commitment to freshness and quality ensure an unforgettable dining experience. Make sure to try one of Midtown's innovative cocktail creations such as the North Hills Cosmo, an upscale version of the classic cocktail suited to the metropolitan surroundings of the area.
