Cafe Tiramisu

I was looking so forward to this place, but after last nights dinner experience, I will NEVER come back here. Our server did not care to be involved at all. Starting from the basics, everyone had a bread basket but us. I also ordered steak and frites, and had asked the server if I was able to get it well-done (I know some restaurants do not like to) he said yes thats fine. Upon slicing the steak, it was still pink and not well-done. I could not even let the server know as after our food was delivered, the server NEVER came back to check on us, like 30-40 minutes and no server. The person serving us water came more than the actual waiter. I had to switch food and eat the chicken and gave my steak away to the person I was dining with. I would not even say it was busy as even when we received

We DID NOT have reservations, next time I will. Upon arrival at 5:55 we were asked "what do you need". Not a welcome to Cafe Tiramisu or even a "how can we help you." We were asked if we had a reservation. Then we were told...."we can sit you at a table but you have to be done by 7:15. I have never felt so unwelcomed and rushed at a restaurant. We were celebrating my birthday so i wanted to take our time to enjoy it. When we left at 7:15 no one was waiting and there were several tables available. I would highly recommend hosting training to make guests feel welcomed. Our server was amazing and the food was delicious. The atmosphere was awesome.

I had high hopes for celebrating my boyfriend's birthday, especially after doing research for some of the best restaurants in Raleigh and hearing such great things about this restaurant in particular. While the food was absolutely delicious and the atmosphere was perfect, the service left much to be desired. I made a reservation well in advance and specifically mentioned it was a birthday celebration and requested that something be done for the occasion. However, when it came time for dessert, I noticed nothing had been done differently, and there had been no mention of a birthday from the server or the staff for the entirety of the dinner. I then kindly asked the server if they could bring out a candle for my boyfriend’s dessert, as I had mentioned his birthday when making the reservation

We just tried new location for first time. Originally had late reservation but we finished earlier from plans and figured to check if we could be accommodated. They were able to seat us and the new location is beautiful. Not as tight and small as the old but still felt quaint. Bread before dinner just as amazing. Dinner was great! Def plan to return.

Cafe Tiramisu has been a favorite of ours for special occasions for several years. On 1/27/26, we were celebrating my husband’s birthday, which also happened to be the grand opening of the new location. Everything was absolutely beautiful and there was an excitement in the air. I noticed that either the manager or perhaps the owner was circulating throughout the restaurant at each table asking patrons about their dining experience. My husband and I were the only patrons of color that were dining at the restaurant, so it was quite apparent when our table was overlooked to inquire about our experience. It was made even more obvious when both tables located on either side of us were recognized, but we were conveniently overlooked or “unseen.” Our money is the same color as anyone else’s and
