A playful twist on safe dining in Raleigh: indulging the mask, or the masque
Fine dining enthusiasts are hungering to rediscover world-class food, exceptional service, and unique ambiance—and in our area, in the age of Coronavirus, we want safe dining in Raleigh, too.
Is an experience that transports you still possible when masks are required?
If history is any guide, yes. Masque wearing in public (and private) has been a source of delight for centuries. It’s also created scandalous controversy, so maybe we shouldn’t be surprised by the ongoing debate, even as we crave renewing the pleasures of eating out.
But masks won’t be on your mind while indulging in our award-winning menu.
You’ll be happily exploring an imaginative variety of starters and entrees with Chef Pettifer’s uniquely international flair. Your most arduous task will be choosing between mouth-watering seasoned seafood and meats, freshly sourced vegetables, and creative pairings that change daily—all presented to perfection by Chef and his talented team.
Amid this new normal in group dining, we’ll don our masks (or are they masques?), expand the distance between dining parties and deliver delicacies to your table that will take you far from predictable fare. Of course, if you’d prefer to order ahead and pick up curbside, simply browse our menu and place your order by phone to 919-846-9846 x2691; we’ll rush your freshly prepared meal to your waiting car.
