Raleigh Wine Bar

Great food, good service but just too loud for our taste. The group at the bar was so loud we could barely hear ourselves talk!

Saturday brunch outside in a nice warm Memorial day weekend 🙂 the food was pretty good but the service disjointed.

Great place for a glass of wine and an app! Really great people working there too!

We sat outside and it was beautiful. We went during happy hour around 3pm. The wings on the happy hour menu were literally the best thing we had!! So glad we went!

We hadn't even heard of this place, but it was a Saturday night during restaurant week so all our usual spots were slammed. Luckily, we got a table at Raleigh and it turned out to be a hidden gem! The restaurant has two skdes: the bar side, which is a little noisier, but has a killer view of the bridge, and the quieter dining room side. We sat in the dining room and it was lovely and romantic. It could use a little noise buffering, but most places could. The food and drinks were really great! We had trouble choosing from the short-but-creative list of cocktails and fell in love with the Silver Daisy. The smoked carrot dish was incredible, as was the skirt steak with a delicious little potato stack and collard greens. Would have liked to have seen a cheese option on the dessert menu as I am not big on sweets, but all the desserts sounded good.

My husband and I went there for Sunday brunch. I had the fritta and my husband had the steak and eggs both were very delicious. We want to go back to have one of their dinners, farm to table. Friendly staff. Clean and bright.

Nice ambient. Quality products

Always excellent food and drinks that make me feel good after. Organic wines with none of the sulfates that make your body feel lousy. High quality steak in the steak and eggs. Local greens in the salads. Artistic presentation of each dish. An ever changing menu of fresh and fun options. Great location downtown with a view of the memorial bridge, and easy parking. Inside or outside, and amazingly this place is almost never crowded. I think people perceive it is expensive because of the decor and high class ambiance and go to a greasy spoon instead, but honestly it's not that much more than the alternatives, and you get the highest quality for a great price. And the service is exceptional -- never lacking. Clean tables, brightly illuminated inside, this is a great place for a bite or drink any time they are open. If Nimi is around, she can help you explore a new organic wine to suit your tastes. If you are on the fence, go here.

Downright phenomenal food to where my family was overwhelmed with the flavors, leaving full and refreshed after a incredible meal. Cocktails were also wonderful, and i cant wait to bring my friends to try their brunch menu! Half chicken, ramp pasta, and dark chocolate cake were my top 3 by far, you gotta one of the three if you visit this fine eatery hands down.

Brunch here is outstanding and the people are exceptionally friendly.

Good food, simple, enjoyable decor, friendly staff

I’ve moved to this area pretty recently and so I have been trying a lot of my local restaurants, that being said Raleigh did not fall short. I went for brunch on Sunday and really enjoyed this place. Had the Benny breakfast and it was amazing. My friend also liked his food, the potatoes were just mouth watering. I also had the bottomless mimosas which were wonderful, I wish I would have received another glass but that was my fault for not asking.Try this place out!

We had such a great experience! The owner was very knowledgeable about wine; each one paired perfectly with a dish. I loved the hen egg and tartare. Prices were very reasonable for the level of food, drink, and atmosphere.

Amazing creative dishes with extremely friendly and helpful waitstaff. Wonderful setting as well. Highly recommend if you are visiting Portsmouth!

Wonderful place. Very knowledgeable and friendly staff. Went out of their way to explain each wine and the perfect food pairing. I’ll come back here each time I’m in Portsmouth.
