5 of 5 stars (excellent, fine dining) (see explanation of ratings below) Always a fave of ours. We buy $500 worth of gift certificates each year (for $400) and give them to ourselves! Chef Toler is amazingly creatively and he changes his menu about every six weeks. Allow 60-90 minutes. Cost: about $25-$35 for food alone. $15 corkage fee. About... More

Tucked into a small strip mall, this was a pleasant surprize. Dined early on a Friday evening. Excellent wait staff and small, but diverse menu with Mediterrean undertones. Would definitely return.

Having read so many reviews of this place, we just had to visit. The wife and I visited on a Saturday night, for our anniversary. We made reservations ahead of time, and were seated quickly. Bloomsbury is nice and quiet, and very relaxing. The staff did not rush us at all. Our service was excellent. Our water and wine glasses... More

We have been a few times and I have enjoyed it every time. The foodis standard american bistro but prepared very well served elegantly. The food and service are commensurate with the price ... you get what you pay for here. Excellent for a date or date night or for a spurge.

We dined at Bloomsbury the weekend before Christmas, and, as always, it was wonderful. We arrived early, so we decided to order a glass of wine at the bar. The bartender was very personable and friendly. Our waiter wasn't quite as attentive or personable as those we've had in the past, but because we enjoy the restaurant so much, that... More

My wife and I have dined @ Bloomsbury Bistro on several occasions! The food was exceptional and the ambience met our expectations! The service was very good and the staff let you know that they appreciated your presence and patronage.

I've been going to BB for years and try to hit it whenever I'm visiting Raleigh for one simple fact - the food there is consistently great - and creative. You won't find these dishes in other Raleigh restaurants. I also like that there is always a fish dish, as that's the only meat I eat. Most recently I had... More
