Restaurants near North Carolina Museum of Natural Sciences

I have eaten here several times and the experience has always been great. That is, presentation, food, service, atmosphere, etc. This is one of my favorite go to restaurants in Raleigh. I highly recommend a visit, but be sure to make reservations.

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!!!!

Sitti Restaurant in Raleigh is a true gem! The warm ambiance and welcoming staff make you feel at home when you walk in. The Lebanese-inspired menu has flavorful dishes – the Kebbeh and Salmon were especially memorable. Everything tasted fresh, with authentic spices and rich textures that make each bite an experience—the perfect spot for a cozy dinner or a special gathering. I highly recommend to anyone looking to enjoy delicious food with a unique, cultural touch!

This was our first time here and the food was excellent.
