Best Restaurants for Outdoor Dining in Apex

Lucky 32 in Cary never disappoints. The food was excellent and the service was top notch. We had a drink as we were celebrating an occasion and we weren't rushed. When we did place our order, the meal was served quite quickly and was hot. Both plates were delicious

What a wonderful dining experience. From our circular booth and view of the kitchen, to our fantastic waitress who walked us through the menu and option, this place gave us the best Italian experience. Meatball appetizer is the best I’ve had, the calamari was so light and fresh, and the steamed mussels had just the right amount of spice to make the broth mouth watering. The 15 layer lasagna is such a delight, and the truffle noodles was the star of the night. Just love the ambiance. What a great date night. Thank you all for giving us a great night!

Delicious food served in lovely atmosphere with attentive staff.

First time trying the Fairview. We thoroughly enjoyed the brunch experience. Our server Marius was very attentive, offered input as we asked and was just super. We will be back.

Outstanding Experience! Mulino’s recently helped me arrange a last minute work dinner and I couldn’t have been more impressed! From the moment I made the reservation, the manager was incredibly helpful, communicative, and accommodating to all of our needs. They were fully prepared for our arrival, ensuring everything went smoothly. What really stood out was how much more welcoming and accommodating this restaurant was compared to others in the downtown area. Many places seemed unwilling or unprepared to handle a semi large party (10-14). It was a huge relief to find Mulino’s and receive such prompt and helpful communication throughout arranging the reservation. They were flexible to our needs and agile as the headcount fluctuated a bit. The service throughout the meal was top-notch—attentive without being overbearing. The atmosphere was stunning, with a perfect balance of elegance and comfort that made for a wonderful dining experience. And of course, the food was absolutely delicious! Every dish was beautifully prepared and full of flavor. One thing to note if you're driving and parking in Mulino’s parking lot: you can only enter if you're traveling southbound on Capitol, which turns into Dawson, or westbound on Lane. Just a small detail, but worth mentioning to save some time! Highly recommend this place for both professional and personal occasions. Can't wait to return! Thank you to the manager and staff for helping make our last minute business dinner seamless, easy, and enjoyable!!!!
