Excellent food. Wonderful staff. Friendly atmosphere. We are never disappointed! Wendy was a wonderful server - made us feel very welcomed and we learned they do lunch and brunch. Cannot wait to try the lunch and brunch menu.
I love this place ! The duck bruschetta is amazing, and the duck breast with the side of risotto was excellent! I just wish that the portion of risotto were more generous. I will definitely be back!
We had lunch there with 2 friends who had not been to the ACB in a few years. We enjoyed the food and service as we always do. Steven, the manager, and Wendy our server were both excellent. All of our meals ere excellent. The duck bruschetta is one if my favorites. Try it, you will like it.
I had the roasted beet & arugula salad with whipped goat cheese, the duck confit bruschetta and the lemon risotto...all to die for!
Went there with 12 friends for a birthday lunch yesterday. Everyone's food was Great, and the service was spot on! All of us would highly recommend Academy Street Bistro for dinner, but also remember they have a great lunch menu!
Excellent food, great service, good wine list, great martini and Moscow mule. Butternut soup was superb. Reasonable prices. Will definitely go back soon. Took the kids and were offered some children's options for $6.00 range. Not really a place to take kids, but nice that they had some options for us.
We had our rehearsal dinner at Academy Street Bistro. The staff was so wonderful, kind, attentive and accommodating. They went above and beyond to make our dinner special. The food is excellent. Several people commented that it was the best steak they had ever had!
One of two places I know in the Cary, Raleigh area that serves foie gras, which I always order as an app, Excellent. I've had the scallops and rib eye which are very good. The atmosphere both indoors and outside is inviting. My only suggestions for improvement is add more selections for the entrees and the rooms have low ceiling and it gets quit noisy when the rooms are 60% full. The food presentation is excellent and generous pours from the bar. I've had dinner here twice in the last 10 days.
I visited the Bistro tonight; with my husband and 6 month old. The staff were very accommodating. The food was delicious and the atmosphere was fantastic! Thank you! We'll be back!
Fantastic food and great ambiance made for a memorable meal with good friends. Will definitely be returning on my next trip to Cary. Highly recommended restaurant.
This restaurant manages to give you a lively atmosphere yet it still lends to a relaxing meal! Great service and wonderful food. A favorite of mine.
Never have eaten anything from here that wasn't delicious! Cool place, great service!
We a dinner over my birthday, the restaurant has one’s of the most beautiful atmosphere in the area . The customer service is excellent.. everything is carefully clean and personal is very polite. Food is great but personally had better expectations. The paella was an experiment but is not a real paella.. the flavors are very distantly of Spanish food . I’m from miami and I recommend continues working and for sure will be successful. My best wishes for this wonderful restaurant and their staffs. Thank you for made me feel my especial day wonderful!
I’ve been here 4 times; each time, it has been an all-around perfect experience. The service is great. The food is absolutely delicious. The aesthetic is classy, and the atmosphere is very delightful. Such a lovely restaurant for a special gathering, a date night, a family dinner, or any special occasion.
We stopped by here for a drink on our way to dinner elsewhere. The staff was really friendly--the hostess was nice from the start and we were met by Becca and Brooke at the bar where we had a wonderful glass of Bordeaux and an Old Fashioned. As someone visiting from Texas, I have to say this was just such a nice experience as I was made to feel right at home...Southern hospitality at its finest. I'm definitely going to return and have dinner here with my wife when she comes with me next time in a few months--my sis just moved here so I'm enjoying the visits and the area. Loved the vibe of this gem we stumbled upon!
Recommended by a friend and will be forever indebted to them. The food and atmosphere are absolutely lovely. I had a salad with crab cakes and let me tell you - they are the best ones I have ever had. Adam served us and was so attentive and interesting!! Also met the owner, who seems like the most genuine guy. Came for the crab cakes, stayed for Adam. All around an incredible experience.
My husband and I came here for a midweek date night and absolutely enjoyed ourselves. It was our first time dining here, and only our second time in downtown Cary. Our server Adam was helpful, attentive, and a pleasure to converse with. The food and wine we ordered were all delicious! We also really liked the vibe inside the bistro. The owner Joe introduced himself as we were exiting and was very friendly. 10/10 experience. We will definitely return.
Consistency is key and this place never disappoints. Have come here plenty of times and always enjoy the specials and the everyday menu items. The ambience is great- never too loud, so you can actually enjoy the conversations with your group and the place is always clean. We have had Brooke take care of us multiple times and she’s always so friendly and even remembers us and our favorite drinks! Customer service maybe one of the main reasons this place is in constant rotation, we always get attentive and personable service. The bistro has yet to disappoint- highly recommend.
Nice, tight menu. I am not a big fan menus with a hundred items on it. Other restaurants could learn a thing or two from this place on having 20 or so refined and delicious items that can't miss. Service both the times I visited was impeccable. Greeted with a welcome and a smile at the door and treated like family. Nice selection of cocktails as well. Recommend!
A not-so-hidden gem! Gourmet dining without the white tablecloths and pricey bill. It's a small menu, but they have delicious options! It's my first time back in a while, but they always use super fresh and seasonal ingredients. The service, drinks, and price were all fantastic. Make sure to get the grilled brie! Ever since I first tried it years ago we get it every time! 😊
