Aha! NC redeems itself with Ratcliffe on the Green.
Love the history of the building....old flower shop, first neon sign in NC, wall sconces inside were the old street lamp covers, originally Tiffany stained glass....on and on.
Food stands up just as well. It is a bit odd that they boast "traditional Carolina cuisine" which from my few days here should have been read as Soul Food, but French cuisine permeates the menu.
But....it won't disappoint. I had the Coq au Vin...excellent, not prepared in the way I'm used to, but was still fantastic. We shared a side of the Gruyere mac and cheese...I could eat two bowls of this and probably have clogged arteries for life but it would be worth it....AMAZING.
