Shamaine with Offline – First time visiting Page Road Grill. I feel like they should take off the grill. This was a fine dining with comfort experience. Ben was my waiter and he was great. I ordered the espresso martini bc I was feeling rom-comedy-ish. Appetizer was good, I chose the soup special which was chipotle pumpkin. My dinner order was the blackened catfish. The protein wasn’t my favorite but everything else was a perfect combination. Dessert was a tiramisu and we love those. ;). Enjoy

From the outside, it looks cold and industrial, but the inside is warm and inviting. The hostess said “sorry for the wait”. The “wait” was 15 seconds! A tell tail sign of the hospitality to come. Brick walls, warm light, and a layout that feels like a converted warehouse that decided to grow a conscience. The air suggests steak before you see it, which is always a good sign. Places that rush introductions usually have something to hide.

The grill work shows discipline. Those crosshatch marks are not decoration; they are a statement of intent. The steak arrives confident, properly rested, and clearly aware it will be judged. The sauce on the side behaves like a cooperative witness; helpful, not overpowering, ready when called. Vegetables are not an afterthought here; they show up like supporting characters who know their cues.

The steak comes from the kitchen quickly! And Claudia delivers it with a smile.

Dessert understands timing. The pie is warm, the ice cream knows it is on borrowed time, and the powdered sugar falls like fresh snow on a solved case. It is indulgent without being reckless, which is harder than it sounds.

Detective tips:
• Come hungry; the portions assume you skipped lunch on purpose.
• Ask about the grill cuts; the kitchen likes informed questions.
• Sit in a booth if you plan to stay awhile; they encourage long thoughts.

BEWARE OF…
• Ignoring dessert; it will remember.
• Ordering too fast; the menu rewards patience.
• Thinking this is just another neighborhood grill. It is special.

Nice spot. Just Google “steak near me” after a visit to RTP office. This place is a gem. Would bring my wife. Nice vibe in the heart of RTP. Ate the buffalo chicken bites and the maple pecan pie at the bar. Reservations recommended for busy times.

We have eaten here several times and have never been disappointed. Their salads are creative, fresh, and delicious. Tonight I had the seared scallops which were perfectly cooked and accompanied by a delicious rice with fresh corn and andouille sausage. We didn’t have room for dessert tonight, but I enjoyed the blueberry crumble on a previous visit. The service is attentive and friendly.

This was my first time here I have heard about this place was good but I got to try this for the first time today because of a work event. The food was amazing I had the blackened catfish with mashed yams and it was well seasoned. The string beans were even seasoned the brownie cake was also really good overall great place for a good food but the prices were steep so outside of a work event I don’t know if I would go here often and the cocktail options to me honestly were not good that’s my reason for the 4 stars but the service was amazing the food was delicious.

This past week we had a party of 22 one evening and 10 the next evening. All but a couple of us were not from the area. First, the only reason I’m giving the atmosphere a 4 is because with the high ceilings, the conversation at the table can be a little difficult to hear. Second, the food was excellent and all agreed. I had the swordfish on the first night and the scallops on the second. Both evenings we had a variety of appetizers as well. Last but not least important was the service and it too was excellent both evenings. When in town again, we will definitely add to our dining options.

Ready to Eat Frozen dinners for “locallly sourced” “southern modern” dining prices. Maybe you’ll get fresh in person sometimes, but food ready in 15minutes is going to be mediocre food- and even then there’s just something off about the flavors. Unfortunately the sad pricing for food quality & limited menu, and indigestion from multiple people I’ve taken here makes it a generous 2 star, or I would have ranked it a 3 for the weird seasoning and food pairings. While I can see some unique pallets really enjoying the unique pairings, like strawberry ice cream with banana bread pudding to bland rice pirloo with somehow sweet notes instead of spice with spicy sausage, the theme with most of their “southern/soul”is daring pairings that lack the commitment or are restricted to a corporate menu trying to make every dish appeal to every pallet. The result makes it just…weird overall. I would say most people would tuck in for the steep price they committed to- not the best not the worse-but then never come again over the other quality options nearby. I have gotten take out and dine in from here over the past months to give them some chances- from lunch to dinner, to in person vs take out- definitely go in person at least if you want to give this place a decent chance like I regrettably chose to.

The inside is what I would call southern modern- pretty on the nose- with the light shining through plants and deep wood around you- a nice experience so long as you don’t come in when it’s slow and staff decides to seat the only customers right by the kitchen entrance in a corner.

What to avoid, What to Try:
The brisket: tastes straight out of a frozen meal package- leathery and dry while its mashed sweet potatoes clashed with a mushy salty squash succotash with a rotten bitter flavor I wish I can forget ever trying a bite of.
The seafood: is the only thing I’d order from here, the scallops, shrimp, and salmon- it’s just a hit or miss what you pair or the type of dish you get with those ingredient.
The scallops: only gives you 4 of them which is sad since it’s only dish with them and they were great- but I’m not paying $30 for sausage added on for protein for a dish simply called “scallops.” It was the popular favorite from everything everyone tried, but even then the rice pirloo it came with was watery which made it absorb the pepper salty notes of the sausage, more of the mystery sweet flavor that seemed to be on every entree, which all clashed with the lemon emulsion and spinach they put in it- edible but I found myself chasing each bite with my drink to avoid the after taste of the flavors clashing. The blackened catfish: was cooked well but had a bitter peppery taste clashing with the remoulade (which was excellent). The shrimp and grits are not what you will often get in North Carolina as your standard- tomato jam is not easy to pull off.

Deserts:
The “brownie cake”isn’t really a brownie or a cake- more of a oddly textured chocolate fudge in a muffin shape. The banana bread pudding at first I thought was great but with each bite I realized what just bread with the hint of banana- I had eaten half way before my suspicion of our take out this time being fully premaid was pretty much confirmed by a slimy green section that once was banana slices. The ice cream- was excellent- chocolate that had a malty note which is a preference for some.

For lunch, the burgers were pretty good and the only thing I ended up having worth the price I paid from here- that and the chicken salad wrap. It’s unfortunate that when we ordered, staff was visibly upset and continued to push the small plates on us which I understand but came off a bit too thick on top of visible disappointment as the lower priced items were chosen.

Overall, this place seems to rely on business meals- it has the fancy buzzword menu to intrigue that type of client. Maybe worth a try as an individual if you see an item you really want to try- but if you already love that meal elsewhere- this place likely will not top it.

I’m not sure if the enticing aromas smelled from the outside was coming from here or LuLu BangBang across the parking lot, but the food here was delicious! It’s not an extensive food menu, but who needs too many choices? Comfortable seating and not too noisy for such a large, open area. Nice food portions for the very hungry or smaller appetites.
