David, come on, you can spend more money than that!

Actually, if you really want the coat and tie, go with:

1) Fearrington House, between Pittsboro and Chapel Hill

2) Il Palio, Chapel Hill
3) Magnolia Grill

4) Nana's, Durham

I'm not sure there really is anyplace in Raleigh that you would feel uncomfortable not having a coat and tie on, well, other than maybe a country club.
