Frazier's

HILLSBOROUGH STREET. Located in the neighborhood of NC State, this trendy dining room is a popular spot for a night out. The pre-theater crowd sips sidecars and keylime martinis, while students arrive on foot to woo a date or celebrate a special occasion. While Frazier's ambience and décor help explain the attraction, locals will tell you the real deal comes from the kitchen. The fare, prepared with primarily local ingredients ranges from sweet pea and ricotta ravioli to garlic rubbed pork osso buco. Peaches and summer berries topped with brown sugar almond crumble and crème fraiche ice cream make an exquisite final course.
