First time diner at the Peak City Grill and Bar in Downtown Apex, NC tonight.. All I can say is WOW!! What a wonderful ""discovery"" of this two-year-old restaurant in a renovated 1905 building that has housed a hardware store and other businesses but is now this locally owned stunningly fantastic restauraunt. The history and decor are described at the Peak City Grill's website. Also you can find more information about their live entertainment , outstanding wine list, outdoor dining area (only area allowing smoking) and lunch and catering offerings. But what I want to talk about are the absolutely delicious dinner selections served at this delightful restaurant!\r

The appetizers tried tonight by myself and my guest were the Asparagus Cigars, very young asparagus wrapped in prosciutto and grilled plus hollandaise sauce, and the crispy fried oysters. These appetizers are both to die for! Simply outstanding! Perfectly cooked, both of them! The Chicken Rockefeller entre, chicken stuffed with spinach, scallions and bacon on pesto mashed potatoes may sound like a ""dull dish"" but it was - is - the most mouthwatering, tasty , perfectly cooked poultry dish I have eaten in a Triangle area restaurant and have been here a long time. (My guest and I both ordered and very much enjoyed the chicken rockefeller dish!) Had to top off this wonderful meal with the Chocolate Chip Dirby Pie -another 5 star winner! We both want very much to return and try as many other of the Peak's dinner (or Lunch) offerings as possible because we expect each one will be a culinary delight as these were! Oh - and the service was totally first rate. \r

This visit convinced my guest and myself that Downtown Apex has one of the best restaurants in all of the Triangle! BIg kudos to the owners, the chef, and the wait staff for the Peak City Grill's excellence!
Pros: Every appetizer and entre delicious, piano music, historic building, service, value for the outstanding food served
