Absolutely EXCELLENT! Adrian was amazing! Best expresso martini I've ever had! He was extremely attentive and made great suggestions. This was our first time dinning at Rey's and we came from out of town. We will be back! Thank you Adrian for making our experience a special one.

I came here for my 1st annual Christmas dinner with my job tonight and had an amazing time. It was a 5 course dinner from a selective menu and the food was amazing. I had a Cesar salad, Bourbon St. Pork chop all the accompaniments and NY cheesecake. The drinks are potent 😝

A great steakhouse with other selections available just as succulent. Their quality, presentation, and preparation is consistent. Best format setting for gatherings and private dinners for guests in small rooms up to 30 people at very reasonable prices to choose from. Ample parking with valet. Friendly and cordial staff. Highly recommended

A very nice restaurant in the neighbourhood of Cary. It is a kind of a fine dining restaurant more than a casual place. The menu is quite crisp and good selection of meat fish and Vegetarian options. The service started fast and then slowed as people started to arrive, they suggest to order all at once as otherwise the wait time will be longer. They do have a wide selection of wine and also serve beer. The food taste and quality was very good and portions were large enough. Just a main course with sides would suffice quite well or an appetiser with main without sides. A place definitely recommend.

We had a great experience. The steak was cooked perfectly. Dessert was fantastic, we had the creme brulee and bread pudding. Bread before the meal was great too. Crab cakes appetizer had so much lump crab meat. The service was phenomenal, had great conversation and the atmosphere was very calm and relaxed. Drinks were made well and delicious.

Kelley was the highlight of the evening. We had our 17 yr anniversary and this was our first visit. She was fantastic. She was very well balanced in giving us attention and privacy. We didn't feel rushed at all. Her suggestions were spot on as well. If you enjoy sweet drinks, you have to try the Pinapple Upside-Down cake Martini. So good. My husband enjoyed his Manhattan as well. She was wonderful double checking options for me due to my annoying food allergies.

Decided to give this place a try for my birthday and everything was great! The food was hot and tasty and my hurricane cocktail was a hit. Jonathan and Brian were excellent servers and support from the other servers and staff was a plus. Big Rey also made rounds to check on everyone! Definitely made me feel the birthday love with a card, birthday dessert and an abundance of birthday wishes. A very pleasant experience!

On a recent business trip, I decided to take a chance on Rey’s, and I was not disappointed whatsoever! The staff is all so professional and created such a remarkable dining experience. This restaurant is New Orleans themed, and it hit the nail on the head! We had the most scrumptious ribeye and chicken Marsala. When it came time for dessert, the bread pudding was off the chain! Thanks for such a wonderful dining experience. Just be prepared for the prices, but it’s well worth it!!!
