The Umstead Hotel and Spa, 100 Woodland Pond Dr, Cary

“My fiance and I decided to get fancy for our anniversary and go to Herons. We went to the dinner service from 7pm and left around 9pm. The service was excellent and we had a wonderful time. I was surprised we left dinner feeling full as the plates were small but between our meals we were offered different tasting plates. I liked the ambiance and staff at Herons but the food was average. There were some weird flavors and textures that were unappealing, especially the egg (second course). We enjoyed our time and paid a big bill for a fun night out but we wouldn't go back anytime soon.”

“If you want really authentic Indian food, and not "Americanized" Indian food, come here. They have many different types of Indian cuisine, and it's all very good. I got their house special goat, and ask for "spicy". The meat was cooked perfectly and the sauce had a nice curry flavor with a good amount of heat. Not burning my mouth off like Chinese food, but still pretty hot. I got the butter naan and my parents got the garlic naan, and both were very good. My mother had Chicken Korma in the past and liked it, so I recommended it. She liked it a lot. My father got boneless chicken kebabs, which I tried some of, which were cooked well and still tender. The naan here is more like a soft flat bread like you would expect, not like hard cake i've seen at other Indian restaurants, which I liked. The service was good even though the place was pretty busy and the food came out pretty quickly.”

This establishment has such a cozy, relaxed atmosphere and I loved that they were playing good old fashioned Spanish music that I was super familiar with and was able to sing along with and dance in my seat to, as I enjoyed my meal. There was a very small "lunch crowd" I guess you could call it but, not rowdy or anything of the sort thankfully. Now to the SERVICE! Our server was Alex (Alejandro actually but I guess he uses Alex for the job). This gentleman is an absolute GEM!!! From the moment he introduced himself and took our drink orders, his demeanor was wonderful. He gave awesome, detailed recommendations about the variety of sangria's and drinks that they served. I went with his recommendations! lol When he brought us our drinks, he asked if we were ready to order and I proceeded to ask him about the menu since it was my first time ever visiting. He was so detailed and took his time explaining as well as recommending a variety of items to try. My husband ordered the Tender Ribeye and I ordered the Shrimp Fajitas. They served you tortilla chips and homemade salsa as you wait for your food. Without a doubt, their house salsa is one of, if not THE best salsa both my husband and I have ever had! We told Alex how much we enjoyed it and I didn't realize it at the time but, he took note of it! (keep this in mind for later). Now, my mother back in Pa has been looking for a place that makes authentic tamales and unfortunately, we can't find anywhere back home in PA. As luck would have it, what happened to be on the menu???? You guessed it...TAMALES! lol So I told Alex about my mom's predicament with her sooooo desired tamales and told him that I would like to try one to see if I liked it, so as to bring some back to my mom. He jotted down an order for 1 along with the rest of our food and went away to the kitchen. When he comes back, this wonderful gentleman came back with not 1 but 2 tamales, each made differently, so that I may try them and decide which one to take back home. He was super attentive, truly cared about whether or not we were enjoying the food and that we had everything that we needed as well as talking with us as if we were old friends catching up after a long time. All that along with never missing a beat with his other tables! Needless to say my husband and I enjoyed our experience here in every aspect. I ended up ordering a dozen tamales to take back home lol. I thanked Alex for absolutely everything and especially for making my first ever Mexican restaurant experience in North Carolina such a wonderful one. OH, and we also took a huge container of that delicious salsa of theirs back home too! LOL! If you want a great dining experience that will make your taste buds dance, and an even more awesome dining experience because of such amazing quality servers, then definitely come here to La Cocina! My husband and I cannot wait to come back on vacation next year and eat here again!”

“My review may not be the most helpful because I went in the store on a mission. I only came in for Mexican candy. The store is small and is near what seems to be a heavily populated Hispanic community so everything in the shopping center was written in Spanish. I wish I knew what it all meant. I did expect them to have more options of candy to choose from..... they seem to have the basics that I can get from my local Walmart so I was a bit disappointed because I wanted more variety.......the prices are better so that matters. I didn't realize I was the first to review or I would have taken pictures. They had authentic foods/spices/ingredients and even fruits and vegetables. I also noticed drinks but because I was focused on candy I spent my time in that section. If I'm ever over that way again I may stop by again but I think I'm going to search for a larger store with more candy. If you need authentic ingredients for a dish I'm pretty sure you can come here.”

“We have ordered from this restaurant twice. The broth in the Niku Udon is incredible; it is almost unreal how beefy the flavor is. Highly recommend; we haven't tried much else from this restaurant so it's hard to give a full review. We did get the gyoza this time and found them okay; I probably wouldn't get those again, but I'll definitely go back for the Udon.”

“Honestly for a hotel restaurant my food was really good! I usually avoid eating in the hotel but tonight I was too tired to go out. So I grabbed a complimentary drink for the reception and ordered a fried chicken sandwich. Service was friendly and prompt. The sandwich arrived hot and honesty was one of the better chicken sandwiches I've had. It had really good flavor and was juicy with fresh lettuce. The fries were cooked perfect to fit my liking which is crispy but not destroyed. Sorry I should've taken a picture... Fyi the table next to me got salads which looked really good.If you want to stay close or order room service I think you'll be pleasantly surprised as I was. Ignore the 1 star reviews that don't really relate to the restaurant. They also had a manager waking around checking on customers which is always a good sign that they care.”

“Review is in regards to the theatre.It's a fairly nice theater, however it's pretty well overpriced. This goes for tickets and food. Every time I've went, there has been some type of issue.The first time, there was food that seemed to be left out since the prior day as it smelled absolutely foul. Not sure if they actually clean between showings.The second time, the seats didn't recline; which is part of the reason you pay extra?I will say, make sure you check on their website for coupon codes for food. More often than not, there is a 5$ off or equivalent.”

“Had a very nice two night weekend stay. Room was very nice. Dining atmosphere leaves a lot to be desired. The restaurant/bar area and in turn the library room are EXTREMELY noisy!!! Use some sound deadening materials for Christ sake!! We wanted to relax in the library area which is very comfortable but couldn’t last more than a few minutes because of the the noise from the dining room. It wasn’t that there were loud groups either. The room is very noisy. Simple conversations had to get continually louder to overcome the noise which made it even worse. During dinner with two people we were forced to raise out voices to we could hear each other. Just not acceptable in an otherwise very nice hotel.”

“The portions are pretty decent sized here! Pricing is reasonable, too. I got the Jasmin platter with chicken, Greek salad, and falafel. The falafels were extraordinary. Salad was a little too oily for me. It also came with pita and I got hot sauce. The hot sauce goes well with the falafel but doesn't taste too Mediterranean. Would recommend if you want wanna get more volume for a decent price. The ambiance is okay, and service is typically good. We did have to wait in line for a little bit, but nothing too bad.”

She was pleasant, helpful with the selections and made sure we were taken care of even after we paid the bill and lingered for a bit. I will definitely be back to try out the salmon.”

“I went to BB’s for the first today and took it home. I got a classic Chicken Sandwich and Sea salt fries. The fries were great! The sandwich was great. The batter is amazing. It stayed crispy the whole ride home. It didn’t get mushy from the pickles or the steam from the closed container on the car ride home. The chicken is fresh and not processed. A couple of things I think could make a huge difference is the seasoning. The chicken definitely needs to be seasoned. I also think it is a bit too thick. Make it a bit thinner and add some seasoning….it will truly be the perfect chicken sandwich.”
