    We love Northside Bistro so we were excited to try Encore and it didn’t disappoint. The service and food were exceptional. Definitely a hidden gem and closer to our home. I think we found our new date night spot.

    I recently had lunch at Encore, and I can confidently say it was an unforgettable experience. The food was absolutely amazing—each dish was crafted with precision and bursting with flavor. From the appetizers to the dessert, every bite was a delight!

    This was our second time to Encore and each time we have been incredibly impressed with everything. I had the lasagna and was actually the best I have ever had. My wife had the tuna dish and praised it highly. In addition, the ambiance, and especially the service was exemplary. When Raleigh and Wake Forest discovers this hidden gem it will be difficult to get a reservation.

    This is a second restaurant by the chef from Northside bistro, one of our favorites. It has a slightly more Italian direction but the same quality and attention in the food. Also really good cocktails. We tried the mussels, calamari, chicken Marsala and pork tenderloin and all were fantastic. I loved the touch of cauliflower and carrots in the calamari. Strawberry basil sour was also really good.
