Pro's Epicurean Market & Café

On the lookout for somewhere we hadn't tried and put in an online order for take out tonight. We got the Donatello & Renaissance sandwiches, The French Onion Soup & Bruschetta du Jour, and ended with a slice of the Vanilla Layer Salted Caramel Cake. The sandwiches were excellent, fresh and flavorful. And the chips and side salad with them were perfect. The bruschetta was great, again super fresh and a fun combination of flavors. The French onion soup? To die for. It's my favorite soup and I'm always on the hunt for the best version of it and bingo. Found it. It was perfection. I could talk about this soup for hours. Perfectly balanced the bread and cheese? Absolutely nailed the perfect combination of textures and flavors. 10/10. The Salted caramel cake? Don't skip it. Do not skip it. Amazing. I was a little worried maybe it would be overly sweet because so many caramel dishes are. But no. These folks understand balance in flavors and textures and this cake is truly a work of art. I can't wait to go back, and I've already texted friends recommending they check it out!

Solid fresh food packed with flavor at fair prices. Plenty of options including some fantastic sandwiches (but be wary that very few do not contain pork if that is a dietary restriction you may have). They offer some solid coffee as well, hot or cold. While I was to full to try out the pastry options, they did look quite appetizing and I will definitely be grabbing one on my return. If the weather allows I would definitely recommend the outdoor seating, overall inviting ambiance and plenty of seating available for groups small or large. A great spot to meet up for lunch.The staff was quite friendly and offered prompt service. Would recommend and will likely return.

Stopped by for an early dinner while out and about. The staff was friendly and welcoming. I had the escargot, which was tender and delicious sauce. The house salad was generous and the balsamic dressing was great. Aperol Sprtiz was made fantastic Can't wait to come back to try the sandwiches.

The food was delicious and the service was excellent. It's a fun place to eat in downtown Cary.

The food is only okay. The pastas we had didn't impress us, but the sandwiches are decent. The biggest issue is there isn't much volume for the price. We haven't been back in a while because the food is only okay. It's very popular, tho, there's usually almost all tables filled when we go.I got the Monet and it was alright. Good for a hot sandwich. The chipotle remoulade is a good sauce, just not very spicy. We also got the burratta, which woulda been the best thing there had we not ordered a cannoli.All in all, an okay meal but fairly expensive. We spent about $60 for two people.The ambiance is very classy and nice, tho!

Visited on a weekday for dinner and it was pretty quiet, fast service, and attentive waiters. The window seating was had a lovely view for people watching. Overall, the food was fairly good. The cheese tortellini was tasty but a simple dish. I added chicken but could have lived with out it since it t was fairly bland. Also ordered tiramisu for dessert, which was surprisingly good flavor. The proportion of cake to creme wasn't ideal for me, but still one of the better options for tiramisu in the area.

That was the BEST pastrami sandwich. Tender, flavorful, and very satisfying. I placed the order online for pick up. The sandwich was cut in half, wrapped, and looked mouth watering. It came with home made chips, seasoned and crispy thin. Would absolutely try this again and want to recommend you find a sandwich to try.

First time to this restaurant and the food was very good. One of us had the Manicotti made with homemade manicotti shells filled with fresh ricotta, cheeses, topped with light marinara sauce. Another had the Arugula and endive salad made with with caramelized walnuts, sliced pears, blue cheese and Pro's fig balsamic. A crab cake was added an an additional item. Another diner had the Meclum Salad with a grilled shrimp add-on. The salad had a mix of young salad greens, fresh beets, goat cheese, orange slices, toasted pignolia nuts and Pro's aged white balsamic vinegar. I had the Salmon special, which was served wkth green beans with a creamy sauce. The salmon was cooked perfectly and was delicious. The table shared three desserts, a mixed berry cheesecake, tiramisu and a lemon chiffon cake. All were excellent, but my favorite was the lemon chiffon cake. Service was good, but a little disjointed at times.

Finally tried this place after many years of wanting to, and unfortunately, it was rather disappointing. I will say that the service from our waitress was very good, and there were a couple highlights of the meal, that being the coffee and dessert. But unfortunately, the remainder of the meal was not very good at all, especially for the price.Went for lunch with my wife and first ordered the scallops appetizer. The scallops were actually cooked perfectly and wrapped in speck. But aside from a few pieces of lemon on the side there was very little else going on with this dish and except for the flavor from the speck, the scallops were not seasoned or seared, and therefore had no other flavor. So while they were cooked well, it was a pretty basic appetizer.For our main courses, I ordered the chicken crêpes, and my wife ordered a haddock fish special that the waitress made sound delicious. I can't be sure of exactly how long we waited for our main course, but from the time we finished our appetizer to the time the main course arrived was definitely at least half an hour, and there were only five other tables in the place at the time.The chicken in the crêpes was overcooked and very dry, all I could taste with every bite was dry chicken. The dish definitely needed some sort of sauce or perhaps some more Dijon mustard on the inside, but overall it was a bland dry dish.The haddock dish appeared very underwhelming when it arrived at the table, it was a large piece of haddock with a sauce on top. However, my wife was pretty certain that the fish was previously frozen and not fresh. For $26, we did not expect a dish that we could and have easily made at home, with results that were much more flavorful as well. The long wait, coupled with the bland and underwhelming food, only warrants two stars, but I gave an extra star for the good service from our waitress. Would not bother going back.

Pro's has a great neighborhood bistro kind of feel! Very comfortable and enjoyed dining at the bar. Not too noisy on a Friday night. Green beans almandine were excellent!The chicken crêpes had fresh ingredients: well done crêpe itself, copious filling and was dry. I thought the menu had said it had a sauce which is typical for Crêpes Parisiennes but it didn't. I don't think that adding a white sauce would be the answer. The staff brought me an excellent lemon/rosemary aioli which didn't jive. OK chef~what could be done?! ; )
