The Willard Rooftop Lounge

We came here during Triangle restaurant week and enjoyed our dinner. The Willard is located at the top of AC hotel in downtown raleigh. We had a reservation for a friday night and made the reservation 2 days before. My husband and I both ordered the croquetas to start. We were very suprised we how much we got (6 pieces per person). They came out nice and hot and had a garlic aioli to dip. The cheese was perfectly melty and so tasty. For our entree we order the BBQ bacon pretzel burger, which wa sour favorite because of how flavorful it was. The bureaus burger was good, but the bun didn’t seem toasted and the overall burger did not come out hot. We ended our night with the churro cheesecake which was so delicious! We also ordered the chocolate torte, but had it to go. it was topped with candied pecans, and the torte was very rich, but also delicious. We left with some leftovers and overall enjoyed our meal! All of our food came out pretty fast as well

Service was slow. They brought us a complimentary dessert for our anniversary, which was a nice gesture, but they left our table with dirty dishes even after we stepped away for a few minutes to take pictures. Our plates were completely empty, so I was surprised they hadn’t been cleared.

Nice rooftop atmosphere. Beautiful lighting amd ambiance. Clean setting. Lots of people for different occasions. Everyone very friendly and came up to say hello to us. We Got Sat right away but took about 30 minutes to get greeted after we had to ask a manager about how it worked for service up there. After the initial wait, the service was great. Our server really treated us well. He was a gem. We got a burger- really good, mushrooms- not sauteed and kind of bland/still earthy tasting, and a lemon cake- very ich and would be good for someone who really like sweets(to be fair, I'm not a big sweets person, so that might be just me 🤷‍♀️). In any case, We will be back. Hotel staff and security were so sweet and happy to see us with warm greetings as well. ❤️

Beautiful, beautiful beautiful city, especially when the sun sets. Some of my friends are wishing that there were more of a variety on the menu however, but what I did get which was the chicken flatbread was really good

This place used to be really nice before with a wonderful menu. My recent visit wasn’t that great, their menu has changed and does not have a lot of good options. 3 stars for the views of downtown and can visit again for the good views.
