Bone-In Ribeyes Meet Live Music And Craft Cocktails At This Classic Steakhouse In Downtown Raleigh, North Carolina
Some dinners are just meals, and some turn into the story you tell for years. In downtown Raleigh, one steakhouse has built its name on the second kind of night. A jazz set plays in the room, a thick bone-in ribeye heads to the table, and somebody nearby is quietly celebrating an anniversary. The place keeps a classic, dressed-up feel, yet it rarely acts stuffy or pretentious.

New regional cuisine restaurant comes to Cary by the end of the year
Sama Hospitality is opening a new contemporary Indian restaurant called Bar O Bar in Cary following the success of Morrisville’s Fusion Nine, an Indian fusion dining experience. The new restaurant, located at 2301 Corley Road, is rooted in the culinary traditions of South India, bringing a “refined yet approachable” take on Indian dining to the Triangle. Scheduled for a December opening, the kitchen is lead by Michelin-trained Chef Vikash Vumudi. “We created Bar O Bar to showcase the depth, diversity and creativity of Indian cuisine beyond what many guests may have experienced,” Sai Ancha, co-owner said in a press release. “Cary felt like the perfect home for that vision. It’s a community that values great food and genuine hospitality, and we want every guest to leave having discovered something new, while feeling welcomed like family.” Bar O Bar centers on the depth and diversity of Indian cuisine, with an emphasis on South Indian flavors and traditions rather than the North Indian dishes that are widely associated with Indian cuisine in the United States, according to the press release. The opening menu will still feature ingredients familiar to the regional cuisine like fresh coconut, mustard seeds, black pepper and curry leaves.
