Our Restaurant Recommendations
The Crunkleton
Such a fun place for drinks and/or dinner. Just a few blocks away from both hotels and easy to walk to!
Mulino Italian Kitchen & Bar
Super cute Italian restaurant with an amazing outdoor space. Jordan organized a surprise birthday dinner for Courtney here. Definitely make a reservation ahead of time.
La Terrazza
Can you tell we love Italian food? We love this restaurant for the views and atmosphere. Beautiful rooftop views and bar. Make sure to make a reservation here!
High Rail Raleigh
We love a rooftop bar! Very trendy bar with great cocktails, specifically the espresso martinis. A great menu for food too.
Oak Steakhouse
If you want a steak dinner, we love this restaurant!
MoJoe's Burger Joint
We love MoJoe's for a casual dinner or lunch! We typically have lunch here after mass on Sundays at Holy Name of Jesus Cathedral. Jordan loves the build your own burger with MoJoe's sauce! We also enjoy checking out the ketchup bottles to see if they were made in Fremont!
Eastcut Sandwich Bar (Raleigh)
Another great casual dinner or lunch option. We love the sandwiches here.
Ponysaurus Brewing Co.
A great brewery with burgers and pizza. Nice casual dinner spot.
Brodeto
Brodeto is a new, trendy restaurant with inspiration from Southern Italy and Croatia. If you're craving seafood or pasta, this is a must.
Andia's Ice Cream
We would be doing you a disservice if we didn't recommend Andia's Ice Cream. They're known for their over the top shakes and desserts but Courtney prefers a waffle cone with cookies and cream and cake batter and Jordan enjoys their milkshakes!
Fenton
Fenton is a cute outdoor shopping, dining, and entertainment area (smaller version of Crocker Park, Levis Commons, or Easton for all of our Ohio friends and family). There are great options for Tex-mex at Superica, Sushi at M Sushi, Italian at Colletta, Steak at Crawford Brothers and much more! Courtney loves Cru (wine bar) and Colletta, while Jordan loves going to Sports and Social to watch a game. Only 15 minutes from Hyatt House and Hampton Inn.
North Hills
North Hills is an incredible area in Raleigh with restaurants, bars, and shopping. We love Village Tavern, Cucciolo Terrazza, the Restoration Hardware rooftop bar, Level 7 (rooftop bar), and Vita Vite (wine bar). About a 15 minute uber from the Hyatt House and Hampton Inn.
