Stopped in for lunch. Very clean establishment and the service was great! The food was just okay. I got a chicken sandwich and the chicken breast was very overcooked and dry. I couldn’t taste any seasoning or flavor besides char from the grill. The fries were great and they have a really good house made ranch. Maybe I’ll try something else next time.

One of our favorite date night spots! Excellent brussel sprouts and love their seasonal pastas. Very fresh well-prepared food and nice drink specials (half off bottles of wine, half off martinis).

New Englad Clam chowder and seafood bisque are to die for. This time I had a crabcake sandwich. It was good. They also put a candle in the cake foe mom for her birthday. No cake was not free.

My wife’s family was visiting from Europe for the Christmas Holidays. It was busy but the staff were able to accommodate us. The tuna appetizer and brie were excellent. My steak was cooked perfectly and my Hungarian in-laws loved the pork chops! I was very impressed with the timing and how friendly everyone was. Our server, Warren was even able to describe every menu in fluent, perfect French and Hungarian to my European extended family! Really great experience all around!

We live downtown, and heard it was good, so when a surprise date night came we stopped in. It was 5:30 on a Friday and though it was EMPTY (one other table was sat) we were told every table but one was reserved. It was the worst table in front of the patio doors and exposed but we understood and sat without protest. When we left at 6:30, only one additional table had been sat, which honestly irritated me since a better table could easily have been had. The menu was limited and they were out of my top two choices. There was something off about each selection- crabcakes looked great for example but they were served with jerusalem artichoke. Burratta salad had melon on it in the dead of winter when surely out of season etc…. I chose the special, a winter salad with apples, dried cranberries, sweet potato and blue cheese. The dressing was lovely, greens were in wonderful shape, and flavors were delightful- however, there was only about 1/8 of an apple and maybe 5 cranberries with a dusting of blue cheese that was powdered and totaled maybe a few teaspoons- no exaggeration. The sweet potato was tiny cubes like hash and tasted like it was from frozen prepared hash (also just a scattering of it) It really felt like they were running out of food or something? The waitress really didn’t seem to mind. We dont drink and had shared the sweet potato croquette appetizer, (the topping was very good) so I guess we were a low dollar table. Husband had the burrata salad which again had wonderful flavor, but he had to pick out the rock hard, flavorless melon since it was definitely out of season. Felt like a good chef hindered by the economy. Had I added chicken, maybe the toppings would have worked out?

The atmosphere was inviting. What truly impressed us was Brooke, our server, who not only provided exceptional service but also crafted fantastic cocktails. She is awesome .
The crab cake sandwiches were absolutely delicious, showcasing fresh, high-quality ingredients. We’ll definitely be back!

The service and atmosphere were great, and I was very excited to eat there. However, they completely changed their available vegetarian options, and I was severely dissapointed. Don’t order the grain bowl! It was filled with overcooked rice and red pepper hummus, along with seemingly fresh from the can kalamata olives. Additionally, the bowl (the only main veggie option) did not even come with a side, ridiculous considering the quaint portion sizes. I stomached about three bites and ended up leaving for another restaurant. Definitely not worth the $15!
All in all, the vibes were amazing! But ruined the second the food came out.

Wow! Our dinner experience last night was amazing! Out waiter, Ben, was fantastic, knew exactly what to recommend and made our 9-year-old feel like MVP. The food exceeded our expectations, and felt like a NYC experience, did not feel like I was in Cary. Loved the creative flavors! I had the beet & arugula salad with added shrimp, and my husband had a steak. For appetizers we ordered Brussel sprouts and calamari. We all LOVED our food! Topped it off with a couple of desserts – creme brulee and bread pudding with ice cream. Can’t wait to go back!

Went to Academy Street Bistro today for the first time. Arrived early for dinner, a wonderful table for one. Abby was my waitress. I had a wonderful birthday meal! Great atmosphere. Abby was amazing! Crab cakes and the bone in pork chop were very unique and fabulous! Special thanks to Abby for a very relaxing and special visit!

Love this place! Brandon was our server and he was knowledgeable and accommodating. He had GREAT recommendations, although it’s hard to go wrong. The atmosphere is perfect for lunch or a nice relaxing dinner on the patio.
