Our Guestbook
“ Really enjoyed this restaurant! First off, it is beautiful. I came in early, around 4:30pm (open 4-12am) and was taken back by the aesthetic of the restaurant- and brewery. The menu is interesting with lots of small plate options that are quirky. I had the following dishes split with my fiance (Conchiglie, Cresta Di Gallo, Scallop and Shrimp, Big A*s Meatball, and Filet Mignon- surf and turf). My favorites were the Cresta Di Gallo and the Filet Mignon. Runner up being the Big A*s Meatball. I also had the Doctors Orders cocktail which is a Thai Tea, bourbon, vanilla float drink. Our server Hailey was awesome and helped me pick out what looked good. Lastly, I am weird about my food temperature.... This place served everything at a perfect temperature and it made a huge difference. Thank you!! ”
“ Every bite was amazing. The standouts: radiatore pasta. (A carbonara type sauce). Shaken in a jar with every piece of pasta coated. The whipped ricotta. I’d go back for that and the lemon cheesecake. You’ve never had it like this! The big ass meatball was delicious. I’m going back to taste more. Service was attentive, kind and fast (Erin). The owner Anthony spoke with us and made us feel like we were the only people there. Overall amazing experience. Thank you ”
“ ABSOLUTELY DELICIOUS! If you haven’t been here, plan to make it here ASAP. The portions were generous though I didn’t get to eat much of it since everyone was asking for some. Plan to order more than one dish and share it—you’ll want to try lots of things on the menu! The drinks were amazing. I just let the bartender run free with any ideas. It was such a wonderful experience! Ahhhh I wish I remembered our servers name because she was fantastic. The real candles are such a nice addition to ambience. Can be romantic or not. Can dress up or not. It’s such a vibe! ”
“ Great spot for Italian small plates. I came in by myself and got the bread for the table, asparagus caprese, and radiatore. It was all delicious, and was more than enough food for one. The vibes were good, too. I would definitely come back. ”
“ While visiting Raleigh, my husband and I tried Flour & Barrel for dinner. From the moment you enter this restaurant, you feel a cozy, intimate and upscale kind of vibe. Erin was our delightful and attentive server. I had the asparagus with burrata/lemon pesto/balsamic and the radiatore pasta. Their lemon pesto should be jarred and sold immediately-it was outrageously delicious. The presentation on the pasta was a nice added touch. My husband had the baked provolone, and their seafood pasta and he thoroughly enjoyed them both. We ended the night with a warm and gooey marshmallow brownie. Don’t forget that they even have their own brewery!! Great selections and ice cold! Next time we vacation in NC we will sure visit this gem of a place again! ”
“ Food was great! I absolutely loved the adult Caesar salad, it was my favorite item. I was rather disappointed in the drinks because both cocktails I ordered came with added ingredients that, to me made them not to my liking. Both ingredients that were missing on the menu description were rather important IMO because they are so taste specific. I had a cocktail that would have been great, but menu didn’t mention bitters dripped on of the foam on top. This completely changed the drink for me and I didn’t like it. The server did remove this from the bill. The second drink I tried was the margarita, it came bubbling with a “smoke show” -not sure what this- was but the added bubbly is just not my expectation for a margarita. My husband enjoyed his cocktail which was like dessert- a vanilla float! Great service, and unique experience! ”
“ Exceptional! My experience at F & B started with an Oolong Derby cocktail. Yummy with the good ice :) The whipped ricotta and bread for the table was DElish! I tried the chicken parm, Big Ass Meatball were so tasty. The crisp on the parm was notable. Chitarra was so good. Spicy but no so much that you couldn’t taste all the flavor. Loved it. Raditore....give me this when I need a hug. Comfort food at its best. Creamy and cheesy. Presentation 10/10. But. The. Lemon. Cheesecake. O. M. G. Fluffy and creamy. Just so good! Erin was our server. She was great. Very attentive. Ask for her. Loved the ambiance, especially the real candles. Everyone looks good in real candlelight. Great date night place! ”
“ From the moment we walked in, we were enveloped in an exceptional atmosphere. The food was simply mouthwatering, with the fillet being phenomenal. The drink selection is equally impressive; I particularly enjoyed the 'All Nighter.' But what truly elevated our evening was the outstanding service from Michelle. Her recommendations were spot-on, and her engaging conversation made us feel right at home. To top it all off, we were treated to the incredible talent of Dunlow, a local artist who plays every Thursday. Flour and Barrel is a must-visit! ”
