The Marisol

My boyfriend made us reservations for my birthday. The food and presentation was absolutely amazing! Our waiter was very knowledgeable of very dish and gave descriptive details of the menu and the nightly specials. I had the sautéed Trout and my boyfriend had the blackened salmon, we got the crab cake and cavatelli lobster dish for our appetizers, and we also split the fried goat cheese salad. Highly recommend the salad. The goat cheese, candied walnuts and apples meshed well for the perfect salad. The host came across a bit stand offish and the entranced of the restaurant seemed a little dated (a table with all the menus just tossed on the table). Reservations are required but I’d say this place is worth every penny.

Amazing culinary experience! Highly recommended!

Fantastic experience. Not cheap but as good if not better than large cities well known for their cuisine. Spectacular wait staff. Beautiful cocktails. Wonderful for a quiet celebration.

We love the intimacy of the restaurant. The food was absolutely delicious. Amazing and creative dishes! We unfortunately were not as impressed with the wine (by the glass) list or cocktails, rather pricey for this subpar part of our meal.

We had a FANTASTIC dinner with our group from NC State. Amazing service and memorable experience for our private party. A must-visit.

Food is amazing. Got to try it at least once. Then you will be back!

Really enjoyed this place! To me, it feels like an “old school” fine dining experience but not stuffy at all. It doesn’t try to be hip/trendy and you won’t find super exotic flavors, heavy spices, tiny portions, or unusual culinary combinations. Instead, it’s just really good food, perfectly cooked, and perfectly seasoned. Service was also outstanding, warm, and friendly.

Nice spot for dinner, relaxed atmosphere with friendly staff and unique menu options. Picture is of Blackened Wild Striped Bass. I would highly recommend the House made Cavatelli with roasted lobster, delicious . Nice wine and cocktail selection. Call for reservations and leave a voicemail, otherwise tough to get a table on some nights.

I am a food blogger and actually posted a pretty nice video of this place from my first night/experience at the restaurant. I went on a Friday, sat at the bar and had a superb dinner. I mentioned to the bartender I’d be back the next night because it was so good (and for those wondering I tipped very well so that’s not the issue). I even showed at up at 5:45 as they opened to be sure I’d not have an issue. At no point did she say you may want to reserve a seat or that she was full. Market is happening but ppl are notoriously late at market and the place was empty… I showed up to be told “I’m full”… I had to take a call and was there another :35 in my car and nobody else showed up to sit at the bar. I was alone and would not have been more than :30-45 mins based on previous night but rather than earning a loyal customer (who comes to HP several times a year), they have instead earned a poor review for their lack of hospitality and poor customer service. It’s really a shame they treat customers or potential customers this way when their food was so good. Honestly they should have had something that said reservations required at the bar on their site or at least the bartender should have told me when I told her I’d be back tonight so I did not waste my time..
