A group of four of us went to La Residence on a Monday night in October. It used to be one of our regular stops for nice meals, but for some reason, we just hadn't been for a while. Like a decade, perhaps? When we arrived at 7:30, the restaurant was nearly empty. I was concerned. There was no reason to be. Everything was as I remembered. The menu was interesting, the wine list one of the best selected in the Triangle (and not short...), the service was fantastic (darn well should be with as few of us as there were - but they really were just enough, not too much, and very precise), and the food and presentation were excellent. We sat outside on a very pleasant evening. I had rainbow trout with a corn salsa that complimented and didn't overwhelm the moist and delicate fish. Everyone else enjoyed their entrees as well. And the creme brulee was super. I'd highly recommend it, and we plan to go back much, much sooner than 2017.
Pros: Great food, excellent wine list, good service
Cons: Parking costs money until 8:00.
