Downtown Cary, NC has great newish restaurants - one of which is Pro's Epicurean. Great servers and service - friendly and helpful. And a great selection of sandwiches and entrees. We had the large charcuterie platter and some pâté. It was delicious in a fun environment.
We enjoyed our lunch here! Parking was a breeze due to the dedicated parking lot for the strip mall that contained this restaurant and a variety of other businesses. I ended up ordering the Michelangelo sandwich (which was basically prosciutto, mozzarella, roasted red pepper pesto, and a few other ingredients) and I really liked it! They were out of the seeded Italian bread, but I got the baguette bread instead and it was tasty. My wife ended up paying $2 extra for a side salad (instead of the Cajun chips) and didn't think the upcharge was worth it, as the salad was a little bland. The kid's menu was more expensive than I expected at $9.50 for an entree - we got the pizza baguette for our toddler and he didn't like it much, but of course other peoples' toddler experiences may vary :) Service was solid throughout. Overall, we would come back here, as I think it offers something a little unusual for the Cary area.
The food was delicious and the service was excellent. It's a fun place to eat in downtown Cary.
On the lookout for somewhere we hadn't tried and put in an online order for take out tonight. We got the Donatello & Renaissance sandwiches, The French Onion Soup & Bruschetta du Jour, and ended with a slice of the Vanilla Layer Salted Caramel Cake. The sandwiches were excellent, fresh and flavorful. And the chips and side salad with them were perfect. The bruschetta was great, again super fresh and a fun combination of flavors. The French onion soup? To die for. It's my favorite soup and I'm always on the hunt for the best version of it and bingo. Found it. It was perfection. I could talk about this soup for hours. Perfectly balanced the bread and cheese? Absolutely nailed the perfect combination of textures and flavors. 10/10. The Salted caramel cake? Don't skip it. Do not skip it. Amazing. I was a little worried maybe it would be overly sweet because so many caramel dishes are. But no. These folks understand balance in flavors and textures and this cake is truly a work of art. I can't wait to go back, and I've already texted friends recommending they check it out!
Solid fresh food packed with flavor at fair prices. Plenty of options including some fantastic sandwiches (but be wary that very few do not contain pork if that is a dietary restriction you may have). They offer some solid coffee as well, hot or cold. While I was to full to try out the pastry options, they did look quite appetizing and I will definitely be grabbing one on my return. If the weather allows I would definitely recommend the outdoor seating, overall inviting ambiance and plenty of seating available for groups small or large. A great spot to meet up for lunch. The staff was quite friendly and offered prompt service. Would recommend and will likely return.
Stopped by for an early dinner while out and about. The staff was friendly and welcoming. I had the escargot, which was tender and delicious sauce. The house salad was generous and the balsamic dressing was great. Aperol Sprtiz was made fantastic Can't wait to come back to try the sandwiches.
That was the BEST pastrami sandwich. Tender, flavorful, and very satisfying. I placed the order online for pick up. The sandwich was cut in half, wrapped, and looked mouth watering. It came with home made chips, seasoned and crispy thin. Would absolutely try this again and want to recommend you find a sandwich to try.
The food is only okay. The pastas we had didn't impress us, but the sandwiches are decent. The biggest issue is there isn't much volume for the price. We haven't been back in a while because the food is only okay. It's very popular, tho, there's usually almost all tables filled when we go. I got the Monet and it was alright. Good for a hot sandwich. The chipotle remoulade is a good sauce, just not very spicy. We also got the burratta, which woulda been the best thing there had we not ordered a cannoli. All in all, an okay meal but fairly expensive. We spent about $60 for two people. The ambiance is very classy and nice, tho!
First time to this restaurant and the food was very good. One of us had the Manicotti made with homemade manicotti shells filled with fresh ricotta, cheeses, topped with light marinara sauce. Another had the Arugula and endive salad made with with caramelized walnuts, sliced pears, blue cheese and Pro's fig balsamic. A crab cake was added an an additional item. Another diner had the Meclum Salad with a grilled shrimp add-on. The salad had a mix of young salad greens, fresh beets, goat cheese, orange slices, toasted pignolia nuts and Pro's aged white balsamic vinegar. I had the Salmon special, which was served wkth green beans with a creamy sauce. The salmon was cooked perfectly and was delicious. The table shared three desserts, a mixed berry cheesecake, tiramisu and a lemon chiffon cake. All were excellent, but my favorite was the lemon chiffon cake. Service was good, but a little disjointed at times.
