My wife and I are in our lower 30's, but look like we are in our 20's. I am assuming this is the reason why we were completely ignored by the service staff. We dressed nice and are quite polite, but over 50 minutes went past between appetizer and entree and we never saw our server. We asked for someone to go find him and were told "he will return shortly". No "I'm sorry" or anything. When one goes out to a nice dinner one expects to spend around two hours over good food. While the food really was exceptional we spent over 4...30 minutes waiting on the check even after we complained about being ignored. If you look "mature" and like you will leave a good tip I highly suggest the Grill, if not...go to the Bloomsbury Bistro in Raleigh or Elain's in Chapel Hill for excellent food and to be treated like a human being. We will not be going back, no one cared at all that we had such a poor experience.
