High Horse

My husband and I came here on a whim on Valentines Day and sat at the bar. We were too late for the regular dinner menu so we just decided to have some drinks. They were so good! The atmosphere is energetic, and it was very fun watching the cooks. One of the gentlemen was kind enough to give us some food to munch on while we sat. The bartenders were attentive and the music was good. I enjoyed this spot so much that I just made another reservation for this weekend!

Great fun with a lively dining room. The menu has many unique twists. The barrio corn bread, charred corn and fork & knife Caesar (best Caesar I have had in NC) were outstanding. Also tried the tomahawk steak special served tableside which we split three ways. Was excellent but pricey. The ghosting was our favorite cocktail. Would like to come back when the outside patio is opened and sample more of the small share dishes.

Simply amazing! Our good friend is sous-chef Angel and treated me and the wife to a great experience! We were great by  Chef Katsuji Tanabe, and offered samplings! We truly appreciated the gesture! We ordered quite a few dishes, from the beat salad, or Oyster mushrooms, Ribs, and Bone marrow, and more. Every dish was playful, well thought out, flavorful and plated precisely the way it should have been. From the kool-aid pickle to cut the richness of the foie grass, and the freshness and coolness of the beat salad to cool the pallet down after the rich bone marrow! Raleigh...watch out.. Chef Katsuji Tanabe has brought something challenging,fun,playful and vibrant to Down town Raleigh! Such a pleasure! We look forewarded to the many visits to come!
