Restaurants near Comfort Inn Smithfield

Wife and I dined for lunch on Sunday, 12/22/24. Both of us had grilled salmon with Brussel sprouts and collard greens along with a side salad. Salads were very fresh, crisp cherry tomatoes, variety of green lettuce and spinach, very clean, crunchy and no brown or undesirable parts. Booth table was very comfortable without jackets on cold day, high of 40 degrees today. This is one of the nicest restaurants (upscale) with great food in the Cary area. We will be eating here again.

Appetizers were great (burrata and fried artichokes). Dinner was ok and over priced. The burger was meh and the Moholland salad was small for the price and something I could have made at home with my chopper. The service from Autumn made up for the ‘ok’ food. She was attentive and incredibly friendly. Autumn was memorable! The dessert (banana and ice cream) was excellent and the various spritz drinks were incredible. You can’t beat the ambiance! I would eat here again and try to order something different (my friend said the lobster roll was delicious). I wish there was a different menu for lunch versus dinner though.

We were celebrating my birthday. We are eligible for the senior menu offered until 6:00. The course offerings were diverse. I started with a Caesar salad, went on to a perfectly cooked filet mignon. It was served on a cast iron plate. That kept the steak appealing warm. My husband had a filet, too. He had buttery whipped potatoes. It was enough to share. He lived them. I found them a bit over peppered but pepper is not my favorite seasoning. The bread pudding dessert was large and scrumptious! Warm, with the largest pillows marshmallow I have ever seen! Kudos to Gabby,our server. The noise level in main dining area became loud as it filled up. We were in a side room which was quieter. Overall, a lovely experience

First experience at Bhavana. Made reservations, seated quickly. Server was Octavio. Engaging, attentive went above and beyond. Food was good, rice congee, chicken lomein, crab ragoon and bbq bao, cocktails on point, chocolate turtle cake. An excellent overall experience. A little pricey but you are not just paying for food but for service and atmosphere. Great place for date night or a celebration not a simple weeknight family meal kind of place.

This place is amazing; you should definitely give it a try!
