Where to Eat...

Breakfast

Want some good, old traditional breakfast? Then you must give Cafe Carolina and Bakery at the Arboretum a shot. With an orange painted walls and crisp white paneling, this is an inviting place to start your day. Try their Carolina Velvet latte for some caffeine rush with a kick of chocolate and cappuccino, and pair it with their perfect muffin. Want something heavy? Then order their bacon and eggs, or their breakfast sandwich. This place is the ultimate pick me upper!

Lunch

Take a quick trip to Italy when you decide to eat lunch at Capri Restaurant. Located at Falls of Neuse Road, Capri Restaurant serves some of the best Italian dishes like their Antipasti plates, or try their fresh mozzarella and tomato dish called caprese. After that satisfying appetizer, dig in on their stuffed eggplant, and choose what to pair it with. Veal piccata or shrimp scrampi. Either way, you're in for a nice and delicious lunch at Capri

Dinner

Simpson's is the best choice when craving for steaks and wines. His traditional Old English restaurant serves the best plates of prime rib, filet mignon, lobster tail, and sautéed shrimp scampi. Or if you are a pasta lover, Simpson's also serves the most delicious lemon chicken fettuccini and pasta primavera in Raleigh. Add to the list the soothing jazz music played while enjoying your meal. A truly delectable and fine dining experience awaits you in Simpson's.
