The crew from Northside Bistro are now going to provide some amazing Italian cuisine, Top notch Steaks, and delightful seafood. Expect to see some of the great cooks and friendly staff you expect at Northside along with some great new team members we are excited to introduce to the area.
Chef John and his team are excited to bring you some takes on classic Italian cuisine along with some expected twists and turns to keep things current and we will always hunt for the highest quality ingredients we can find. Service promises to be warm and inviting never taking our focus off the details that matter while still keeping it fun and light hearted.
The decor here at Encore is a polished but comfy, the environment will create great energy and a sense of community but still provide some romantic corners for a Romantic evening with loved ones.
Carol and John are so excited to bring their second offering to the North Raleigh area!

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.

Great new spot in the Wakefield area. Service was excellent. Food was very good, some items a little more expensive than anticipated but great to have a higher quality dining option nearby without heading downtown.

The entree options were limited and I couldn’t find anything that was jumping out to try. I landed on the shrimp and lobster spicy pasta ($52). There were 3 small pieces of lobster that were tasteless and about 4 pieces of shrimp, also lacking flavor. The spice level was too intense and there was no other flavor; it was just hot. Temperature wise, it burned the back of my mouth and throat on first bites. My husband tried a sausage and meatball pasta. It was heavy and the sausages were chewy. He wasn’t impressed either and we wouldn’t go back.
