Nightingale Rooftop

The service was outstanding. I was in a group of 8 and we ordered about 20 small plates, so the food just kept coming! Brittney was our server and did a fantastic job!We had just about everything on their new fall menu, and just about everything was fantastic.Special shout out to the crisp with cheddar ice cream. Worth trying, with a tiny hint of cheddar and a hint of nutty ice cream on an apple pie crumble. Delicious.

The place looked nice unfortunately they sat us in a corner booth in the back by a trash can bus cart and the entrance to the kitchen. I was very confused because I booked very early in the week and we were prompt 6:20 pm for 6:30 pm reservation. The host walked us past open tables. As I saw the table I wasn't going to sit here I wanted to outside. I could see they were sitting by the trash cans and dish cart . I decided this would not work for me. And ask for a different table and was told none were available, I decided to leave. As I was leaving we a man who said he was the " owner" who knows he said can I help I explained what's happening. He then explained that was a special drop down on the website to get outside table and the inside tables fill up quickly so that was the last table they had. He said we were welcome to go to the standing room only portion of bar. Sure thing buddy I came for a crab cake dinner and if don't want to sit by the bus station certainly I'm not going to stand up and eat $150 dinner. Got to say I'm a 60 year old guy and this young man had zero problem solving ability. I worked in restaurants all over Maryland and this kind of interaction makes me want to get back into it. You never let a couple walk out who have the ability to come back and bring others back. My suggestion would be hire an adult to be the hostess someone with a presence who understands the responsibilities of the job and business. This guy who I met he was sort of hanging around the hostess station the entire time. I'd say if you're the owner get to work. Start walking the floor and making sure the front of the house is tight. Sell wines and desserts get the check numbers up be an owner. I hear the crab cakes are good because the owner is from Maryland I was willing to try them. My guess is this place isn't going to make it limited hours, hard to use websites and the front of the house is kind scattered. Good luck we probably won't try again

We had been looking forward to this place for months. Finally got around to making reservations for two as the crowd had seemed to die down a little. We went on a Wednesday at 5pm. We got right in and sat at a table. Right off the bat I noticed the bartenders talking very loud to themselves and using swear words, joking around. We ordered 3 cocktails all of which were not very good. It was about 80% ice compared to liquid. The cocktails were $12 and up. We ordered a few small plates; cocktail eggs, risotto and chicken, corn fritters and cheese and crackers. The 3 cocktail eggs were very small and came with chipotle sauce with a few pickled onions. The cocktail eggs $6.50-$7, you could make these at your home for less than half the cost, these were very over priced and gone in just one bite. The risotto and chicken was by far the best item of the night. The chicken was perfectly smoked and had lots of flavor. The corn fritters were good as well, but isn't anything that is fried? The crackers and cheese tasted like black licorice to me. Not very good. A positive note: the food came out super quick. The server was not very attentive throughout our experience, she checked in on us once in an hour. It did not seem to be overly crowded. Overall, for two people our bill was $96. Not worth the money what so ever. I much prefer Pimento Tea Room to Nightingale and these are the same owners. I would not recommend and do not plan on coming back.

I'm just going to throw out there that I'm smitten! Nightingale is a beautiful space, with great food (love the gnocchi, pork belly, and cocktail eggs), and great service (thank you Brian and Sarah). The cocktails are tasty to boot. When I heard that my round 1 cocktail choice was batch, I was worried-- but fret not, it was delicious! (Sorry I can't remember the name-- vodka, elderflower, pineapple) Hubs' "Grizzly Bear" was great and my subsequent "Ruby Cup" was magnificent also!Hubs and I stopped by to check out the scene and to see what's what. We were not disappointed in the least. In all honesty, Nightingale made fans out of us. On our visit, we were told that Nightingale was featuring live music on the patio for the first time -- keep that up! It was a welcomed addition to the ambiance and experience. Sarah was so kind to show us around, and the event space is fantastic as well.All that to say-- Nightingale is the kitty's titties and I'll be back soon! Cheers!

Finally made my way to Nightingale! Such a great addition to downtown. Located on the 3rd floor, the rooftop is a great hangout space with a cool vibe. Sunday was a slow day but told it's the "regulars" day :) The decor and ambiance is great. Loved all the details, from the fun wallpaper, cool bar countertops and menu! I'm told they change the menu periodically.Lots of seating including rooftop seating. I loved the indoor/outdoor bar space. The bartenders were attentive and offered great drink recommendations.It's a great place to meet friends and enjoy some small plates.

We had a girls night out with the girls only from my family and it was fabulous! Nightingale is my kind of vibe with an eclectic decor that must be recognized. The service was impressive and they were so nice to give us a glass of complementary champagne and dessert on the house. The food was absolutely delicious. I really thought that the relish plate was going to be different kinds of actual pickles, but it was pickles veggies like green beans, carrots and red onions with a twist, the twist was blueberries. I would never have thought that I would like pickles blueberries, but it works! Just be prepared, it's like tapas style plates, so the portions are small. Depending on what you order, like I had the risotto, it was more than enough. I was really bad about taking pictures, because I was thoroughly enjoying myself. To start, I recommend the whipped feta, my sister in law said she could smother her whole body in it and she's not wrong. It was the best thing I've had in a long time. We also had the cocktail eggs (which only come in 3), & tempura veggies. For an "entree" I recommend, crab cakes, risotto, gnocchi, fries w/ curry ketchup. The croquettes were also really good. We seriously had no complaints about any of the food! For dessert, they gifted us the Torte and Peach "cobbler" ... so freaking good! I will absolutely recommend this place and return!

Brittany was an amazing server and the food was robust with flavors and different textures and taste

nightingale is EXACTLY what holly springs needed !! The menu choices are incredible and so different! our server was Brady and he was very helpful with recommendations- very knowledgable about the ingredients and specials which stood out to me as a previous server. Our cocktails were delicious ! the atmosphere is great whether you're going for a date night or girls night out! highly recommend !!

Loved my experience here! Sat outside and enjoyed the rooftop views. The food and drinks were amazing! cocktails were so unique. My server maleah was very kind and attentive, and all of the staff made the experience even better. Miranda had brought our drinks to the table and chatted with us as well she was a delight. will be back!

Had a great experience at Nightingale. Our bartender JT was friendly, efficient and funny. The drinks were so cute.
