Restaurants near North Carolina State University

Sunday night dinner at 5pm. The restaurant was lively and noise level moderate, however as the night progressed and more diners arrived, my wife and I had to move closer to hear each other. With the noise level and industrial chic decor, the ambiance better supports groups of friends night out than a cozy intimate date night. Especially since the large bar area opposite the dining area has a brewery vibe. We’re vegetarians, and the plentiful offerings were very tasty and well done. Interesting selection of beers. Service was friendly & attentive, but not fussy. A little expensive, so value is good but not great. We would go back to try more menu options.

Had a lovely brunch date with friends to celebrate life. Micheal was our waiter very charming and attentive. We enjoyed good Prosecco and good eats all the way around. Love the ambiance which was expected and couldn’t have picked a better day weather wise.

Outstanding food and service, beautiful venue with fabulous view of the city. Only downside was noise level; as the restaurant became more full, the noise level increased significantly to the point that it was very difficult to speak with your table mates. Unfortunately I find the same thing is true in many restaurants. But all in all, I'd definitely recommend!

The food and service were outstanding. In my opinion, the best vegetarian food in the Triangle. At 5:30 pm the place was packed. Noise level is a bit challenging for older diners - it wasn’t easy to hear conversation. Parking on street was already full; we had to park in a very dark lot and walk up the steep street to the restaurant. But the effort to get to Irregardless is totally worth it!

This was our first visit and will definitely not be our last. We went for my birthday, and the restaurant reached out before the reservation and asked about a favorite color and hobby, which we told them blue and reading. Upon arrival to the restaurant, there was a present that was a BLUE BOOK. For them to take the time to get something special and personal makes this place truly exceptional. Our sever, Ulysses, was outstanding and very personable, he definitely added to the experience. The food was fabulous, some of the best handmade pasta we've ever had. We are looking forward to returning in January to open our holiday giveaway red envelope.
