We have been going to Peak since it opened. Great restaurant for a special dinner with friends or romantic dinner for two. This visit we met the owner, who told us a bit about the building’s history. We had a quiet room to ourselves, and a wonderful meal. The menu has something for everyone. And the food was delicious. We will keep coming back to this special spot in Apex.
