I have lived in East Asia, West Central Europe, Southeastern Europe, and the Americas, spent a lot of time in NYC, with broad travel to other regions of the world. I find dining at Margaux's to be one of the highlights of all my travels as I find this restaurant to be a pure delight. Some restaurants decor with their stiff wait staff, tend to keep you uptight and formal to the point you don't really enjoy the dining experience. I find the ambiance at Margaux's is created to open the senses and help one relax. One cannot truly enjoy great food if they are uptight. My personal experiences are that Margaux's management, Steve Horowitz, Andrew Pettifer, and staff, make every effort to ensure a really wonderful dining experience. The entire staff works as a fluid team, taking care of your every need. The ever changing menu offers a wide selection to meet a varied variety of tastes, to include wines, which is important to me as I take my family, customers, and out-of-town business guests to Margaux's. With the ever changing menu, I get to enjoy my favorites from around the world, with many treats having been improved by Chef Pettifer. I highly recommend this restaurant to my friends and peers for their personal and professional engagements. Everyone I have sent, bring words of praise about the wonderful food, world class service, and unique decor. I have yet to have anyone I've taken, or recommended this fine dining experience to, provide a single negative comment about this restaurant - food, atmosphere, or service. Next time you're in, if they have the Lamb Shank on the menu, definitely try it!
Pros: Best happening place in Raleigh!
