My wife and I have dined at the Mint twice. Once in the bar area for appetizers and cocktails as well as once in the dining room for the full experience and we will be going back often! The server took great care in making sure that my wife's allergies were attended to and really took the time to explain the menu to us when we had questions. The beef they are using is free range organic beef and it it truly yummy (I had the NY Strip entree)! The wine list is very well chosen and quite unique. All in all a great experience and one we felt obliged to share with other people. \r

I've read the negative reviews on here and have to say that not a single employee that we encountered was the slightest bit rude, in fact they all went out of their way to be extremely nice and professional. The other negative comment I read complained about portion size and I'm not sure what they ordered but our dinners and appetizers were way more then adequate (so much so that my wife took home her dinner for lunch the next day)\r

In short, we will be going back and can say with full confidence that it is our new favorite spot in Raleigh! Kudos to the Mint staff!!!
Pros: Amazing atmosphere, professional, friendly service, awesome food!
Cons: mmmm....wish they were closer to our home in Durham!!
