- CChristinaGoldRaleigh / Durham / Chapel Hill •69 reviews5.0Dined 2 days agoEvery single thing we ordered at Tandem was OUTSTANDING! We went with a ton of appetizers, because they sounded so delicious - the mussels, the beet salad, the deviled eggs and the scallops were sublime. My sweetie ordered the short ribs and they were spoon tender. The lemon creme brulee was AWESOME for dessert. The cocktails were also delicious. Our server, Heather, was so much fun. She knew the menu well and was able to give recommendations quickly. I hope when we return, she's our server!More infoTandem$$$$• Contemporary American• Carrboro•4.3

- KKyleRaleigh / Durham / Chapel Hill •1 review5.0Dined 6 days agoFrom the cheese board to our chocolate souffle, every part of our anniversary dinner was thoughtfully prepared. Each dish was conceptualized beautifully and cooked to perfection. The wine list and recommendations were equally impressive, especially for orders by the glass. Highlights were the wet aged filet, cana de cabra, and grouper. Every aspect of the experience, from the luxurious venue to the attentive, welcoming, and knowledgeable staff made for a delightful and relaxing evening.More infoSecond Empire Restaurant and Tavern$$$$• Contemporary American• Raleigh•4.9
