Restaurants near Holiday Inn Express & Suites - Smithfield/Selma

Last night, my husband and I had the pleasure of dining at RH Rooftop to celebrate our anniversary, and it was an unforgettable experience! We had made the reservation about a month ago, and the anticipation was absolutely worth it. From the moment we walked in, we were struck by how beautiful the restaurant was. The ambience was elegant, with perfect lighting that set a warm and romantic tone. Our waiter, Ethan, made the evening even more special with his attentive and kind service. He truly went above and beyond to ensure we felt celebrated and cared for. We started with the crispy artichokes and mini lobster rolls with caviar, both of which were absolutely delightful and set the tone for the meal. For our main courses, we ordered the charred ribeye and the broiled king salmon. The ribeye was cooked to perfection, with a perfect char and tenderness, and the salmon was equally impressive—moist, flavorful, and cooked just right. Our sides, truffle fries and charred broccolini, were equally amazing and complemented our dishes perfectly. We also appreciated that the portion sizes were just right—not too much and not too little—leaving us completely satisfied without feeling overwhelmed.Dessert was the perfect ending to our meal. We initially ordered strawberries and cream, which was light and refreshing, but Ethan surprised us with an additional treat: a heavenly butterscotch brûlée! To make it even sweeter, the desserts weren’t added to our bill—a thoughtful gesture that truly made us feel special.For drinks, I ordered peppermint leave tea, which was wonderfully soothing, along with honey, lemon/lime, and a side of San Pellegrino. It was such a lovely touch to have everything just as I requested. Overall, everything about our experience was perfect—the service, the stunning atmosphere, the perfectly portioned food, and the incredible attention to detail. Ethan’s exceptional hospitality and the restaurant’s thoughtful gestures made our anniversary so memorable!

Food was amazing! Definitely want to go back and service was also great

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.

Crowded And it was annoying all the people leaving the bar and walking through the restaurant right by our table all night long

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