I can’t write a good enough review for this place. The quality and pricing blows my home town of Albemarle away. This pulled pork fried oyster place was Devine.

This place was outstanding! From the oysters (wanted to eat 100 of them) to the scallops (the sear was magnificent!), to the foie graes brats, to the duck pastrami (stupid good) and last but most certainly not least, the lemon chevre cheesecake ...everything was elevated and decadent! We came on a fluke from out of town before a concert ... we will most definitely be back and will let everyone know how incredible it was!

Tyler with Offline - Everything was absolutely PHENOMENAL. The flavors were perfectly balanced and everything was perfectly cooked. Tried three types of pierogis and they were legit out of this world. I’m obsessed with this place and will absolutely be back!

My wife and I went to the Seaboard location for years but this past weekend we finally got to come and eat at their new location. We were celebrating our 15th Anniversary! It's still fantastic and we love it! I dug the more formal vibe but I dig the new laid back vibe as well! The new app for ordering is very easy to use and food and drinks come out very fast! It gives you the option to keep the tab open as you continue to order more things and then you can pay your total bill at the end. Super cool! Andy has always been our server and you couldn't ask for a nicer person to take care of you. He's always fantastic! Everything is delicious but the perogies are out of this world! Hopefully my wife and I don't wait so long between visits next time. I really missed it!

I absolutely love this place! The food is incredible, and if you haven't tried it yet, you definitely should. Their cheese and potato pierogis are out of this world, and my favorite drink is the butter old fashioned—it’s a must-try! I highly recommend this spot for its fantastic food, excellent customer service, and quick service.

One of my favorite restaurants in Raleigh! The perogis are to die for— always enjoy the food. Had oysters baked with pineapple, bacon in chili compound butter, sausage stuffed with foie gras, pork rib eye, and sausage plate— everything was delish! Great selection of German beer and all delicious European wines. The staff is friendly and professional as well. Highly recommend!

Our server was really nice, he explained how the QR code works and the menu and how to make payments too! He didn't assume we would know how it works, and we really appreciated how nice he was. Too bad I didn't get his name. The indoors had no space when we got there so we got a table outside but then when a party left, we asked our server and he was very accommodating and seated us inside as it was a little too warm for us outside. My mum is a vegetarian and she also really enjoyed the veg options I ordered for her! We ordered 3cheese mushroom and the potato cheese pierogi, hot beer pretzel, kale and quinoa, cheese spaetzle, baked oysters and the jagerschnitzel we were pleasantly surprised by how good everything tasted. The caramelised onions and breadcrumbs are a good addition on the pierogi and spaetzle. Got a less sweet mocktail, was very basic but not the best. Loved the Togo options too, picked up a few samples, and will definitely be back for the food (dine in and/ or to go :))

Laura with Offline - Lots of good flavors mixed in interesting ways. Staff was friendly with my toddler also. Food was priced appropriately but I think the desserts were overpriced for the size. But we will be back!
