Just had another great dinner at Simpson's. Dinner for two with wine and drinks came to $88.00 plus tip, and it is well worth it. There are lots of restaurants in the high end price range in Raleigh, but none of them have such great ambiance, great food and great service. We started with drinks and an appetizer, coconut crusted jumbo shrimp, and we both had the shrimp and scallops in a white sauce. OK, we had red wine, a nice glass of merlot, and the book says white wine with fish, but it went well. Usually I like to get the bacon wrapped filet mignon, which is the best in town. My wife had the orange cheesecake for desert and I had a Drambuie. I know of no place else in town where you can get such wonderful food in a quiet, pleasant environment. You can carry on a conversation in whispers. Our favorite place for the past 10 years.
Pros: Great food, great quiet setting, great service.
Cons: Can't think of any.
