I've only had the tapas, usually at the restaurant bar. I was pleased with most things I tried. Some of their combinations are a bit eclectic to say the least. If they still have it, I recommend the duck tapas. It's not only a restaurant, but is a dance club too. The dance club picks up around 10:30, but people begin drifting in around 9:30. It tends to be packed by around 11:30. Mixed drink prices are reasonable, and much better than back when it was Button South. The dance crowd is an interesting mix of yuppies, GI-rines, good ol boys and gals, and some land sharks. People dress in styles across the spectrum. Most tend to be dressed more up than down, although people in jeans aren't unusual either. Parking tends to be problematic if you get there late, but anytime before around 10:00, you should be OK. I usually park on the curb on Dawson, just before going down the hill at Cabarrus.

Hows the Warehouse?

Everybody seems to keep recommending the dish with the habanero sauce, which isn't terribly hot by all accounts. The decor there is unusual for Raleigh - very open, high ceilings, and all of te furniture is for sale. Enjoy, Eric
I was there a couple of weeks ago for the second time. The coconut crusted shrimp with raspberry-habanero sauce was great. Also had the grilled crostini with garlic-cheese dip which was quite good. The soup du jour was quite good (black bean with sausage), the house salad was unremarkable. We also had some sort of seafood dumplings which were pretty bad although they might have been better if they'd been warm when we got around to eating them. So I'd recommend ordering the tapas as you'll be eating them so they don't have time to sit and get cold. Also, this can help avoid over-ordering when you're really hungry. I had two bites of my friend's tiramisu and although the presentation was quite impressive, I found the cake quite dry.
