We had an amazing time from the beginning. Our server was Nick and he was amazing the entire time. We ordered the gumbo shrimp, charred Pulpo, NC potatoes, and charbroiled oysters! Everything was delicious we devoured it. This is a place where you want to go for a quality food experience over quantity. My mother and I were celebrating her birthday and they were so kind and gifted us a churro dessert topped with ice cream with this delicious caramel salted sauce, and two candles to top it off. They also gave us champagne. We brought cheesecake to celebrate and they went above and beyond to put candles on it too! We love the food. We love the staff that we left the atmosphere highly recommend this place and make sure you make a reservation. Definitely worth it! We will be back for sure! Also, we had the watermelon Sugar cocktail, I loved how it was not too sweet and it was such a nice blend. Very refreshing!
Hands down our favorite happy hour date spot in Raleigh.
Do yourself a favor: Go at 5pm on a Friday, sit at the bar, order an oyster shooter and whatever cocktail you wish (they're all amazing), split oysters & the burger, and DO NOT skip dessert. If there's a seasonal cake/ice cream, order it. Otherwise, the churros and the tres leches are both amazing. Repeat monthly!
It was a warm and pleasant Friday evening. We wanted to get an early dinner and sit outside. In came the Cortezzzzz. Upon entry we were greeted by a friendly hostess, they sat us outside.
They had a small menu which made it easy to narrow down our selection. We ordered some cocktails to start, which were every delicious. They appear to have a rotating drink menu.
We ordered Brussels sprouts(which are a bit pricy.. $14). And a whole fried sea bass.
Both very good, next time I want to try the burger which is rated one of the best in Raleigh.
