MC Restaurant

I've been here twice now for family birthdays. Both were really good meals that everyone enjoyed. Be aware that the menu does change so what you ate last time could be gone the next time you go. That's not a complaint at all since it's nice to try good things each time and not get stuck on the same thing over and over. If that's what you're looking for, there's a ton of chain restaurants around to take care of you. The first visit, my son had Wagyu beef (Japanese, not American) and said it was the best he ever ate. He's since become obsessed with finding more like that. I wish I could remember what I had, but it's off the menu now so I have nothing to remind me. Second trip, my son had a Korean beef special and loved it. A few of us had the almond prawns and they were really good. Service is very good. Prices are on the high side, but reasonable for the quality and service. Biggest negative is probably that parking is a bit of a challenge. There's a small lot across the street next to the Cary Arts center, but it fills up fast. There's a parking structure but the library. That's about a 2 block walk. Everything else is hit and miss. In any case, I definitely recommend it for an upscale dinner.

I was very excited to dine at MC after hearing so many complaints about the ambiance. I will say, the ambiance is 10:10, but that's where things quickly become average and overpriced. The cocktails are very good. The food / sushi rolls are average at best for their price. We did order some sashimi and it was good, but not reflective of the price they are asking. Service was attentive, and very hospitable. I'm willing to give it another shot, but more than likely for drinks outside and maybe some apps. I think for dinner, you can easily find better at this price point.

Truly wonderful experience. The cute little old house ambience is such a bonus too. The server was very attentive with a great personality. The food was unreal - so many unique dishes that appealed to all the senses. We tried a LOT, but the highlights were the dumplings, the chowder, the wagyu steak, the almond shrimp, and the yuzu white chocolate cake which was unbelievable. My only complaint is that the food felt rushed, there was no pacing taken into account, especially with ordering the small plates.

MC Restaurant in Cary is fantastic. They have a rotating menu of yummy fresh food. Every week they have new items that always pique my interest. Last night my wife & I enjoyed a wonderful meal together at MC in Cary. We look forward to returning sooner than later.

I have wanted to come here since we moved to the area. After my first experience, I'm not sure I'd come back. It was an odd experience to say the least. We had a reservation and got there a couple of minutes early and didn't really see anyone at the host stand. No problem. Talked to the couple in line before us and just kind of waited on the porch. A man scurried past us cursing under his breath a few times and I realized that was the person that I needed to check in with. He zoomed by a few more times, we checked in and each time he was muttering things about how busy he was, how he didn't have time for this, how absurd this all was. He would alternate by yelling at a buser to clean a table, would disappear and then reappear with food a minute later. He was clearly very busy and not having a good day. He was also our waiter.At our table he was fine, told us about the restaurant, the chef, the food. I wouldn't have known he was stressed out at all if I haven't heard and observed him running around. But I did. So I asked if they were short staffed. They were. I get it. But man, that made me feel like a nuisance by being there and seeing that. The food was OK. The only real thing to note was that the uni didn't taste quite right and both my husband and I had upset stomachs the next day. Other than that the rest of the meal was fine. As I said, it was an odd experience.

My fiancé surprised me with reservations at MC's as he knows it is such a wonderful place. I have to tell you, I don't remember ever having such a wonderful meal as I had tonight.With our schedules we tend to have late lunches and dinners, so we set a 9:30 reservation on the patio. The menu changes every week, so I pulled it up on the internet. They has a Salmon Wellington with crab meat......now my tastebuds have decided. I did notice that is said to expect a 20 minute cooking time. As they close at 10:00 and didn't want to keep everyone there while our meal was prepared, I called about 10 minutes ahead and gave them our order. They had our table prepared and we were served in about five minutes. Service as always was spot on.So.....I am sure that in my entire adult life the Salmon Wellington with crab and spinach inside the very thin, delicious flaky pastry cover. With asparagus in a curry sauce..... the best meal that I can remember eating out in years. I fell in love the first time we came here, but this exceed that menu.To finish we split the coconut cake with fresh berries. Topped of a perfect meal. The only thing that made bit better was the love of my life sitting across from me. Thank you my love!

Okay so I'll start with the bad and end with the good. The bad, the steak was 45 dollars and it was overcooked and not good. At all. The fries with the meal were also overcooked and tasted stale. I was so disappointed, since that was my meal lol. I ended up eating some of my husband's food which was delicious. So clearly I ordered the wrong thing. He tried mine and we agreed that it wasn't good. The good. My husband loved the deviled eggs with fish eggs on it. The sushi was amazing. Holy cow it was so good. The desserts were amazing. The key lime creme brulee and coconut cake, so so so good. The staff was AMAZING. They did a great job keeping our waters full and communicating. The atmosphere there is amazing. I would go back again for the sushi, dessert, appetizers, and atmosphere.

The whole dinner was wonderful! The shrimp are a MUST have, and they will make them gluten free!

It's a mixed bag. The main dish was just ok but the appetizer, service and drinks were great. It's a quaint little spot in downtown Cary with beautiful outdoor seating.

Its official. Three years of dining here at least every two months, and we have never had a meal that was less than exceptional! The experience begins with entering into an historical house, and being greeted by welcoming James, the general manager. Whether you dine on the lawn, on the porch, or in one of the three cozy, intimate rooms, you will feel as if you've been invited to a special dinner at a friend's home. The servers are wonderful! Oscar, Nathan, and Lexi? are professional, friendly and knowledgeable about each dish, as the menu changes weekly or bi-weekly. The chef is bold and creative, and nails it every time! I cannot recommend this establishment highly enough.
