Eater: Best New Restaurants

“This past December, the long-awaited addition to chef Scott Crawford’s culinary empire landed with a splash. Crawford planted his flag squarely atop the mountain that is the beloved American steakhouse, with show-stopping seafood towers, massive steaks that are dry-aged in a stunning see-through aging room, and a plethora of sides and non-beef items that are as deserving of the spotlight as the steaks. With a wine list and cocktail program to back up the elegant menu, this is sure to become the Triangle’s favorite date night spot.”

“Patrons are swept up in the action with a direct view into the steakhouse’s cooking suite, surrounded by the slap and sizzle of T-bones in the pan, or the satisfying whir while chefs whip up the house white truffle butter. While Crawford’s menu pays tribute to the traditional American steakhouse, there is an undeniably modern flare in each dish.”

“Crawford Brothers delivered a memorable experience on every visit. On three occasions, my party and I embraced it as a special event, indulging in steaks, seafood, and small plates. On the fourth visit, we opted for the burger. Though the bill was lighter, the experience was just as exceptional. It’s clear that Scott Crawford’s vision for the restaurant has quickly and successfully come to life.”

“Chef Scott Crawford is ending the year with a bang. He’s opening the doors to the much-anticipated Crawford Brothers Steakhouse in Cary’s Fenton development today. It’s been an exciting year for the acclaimed Triangle chef, who opened Brodeto (serving Croatian fare and dishes from Italy’s coast) and Sous Terre (an underground cocktail bar at his French bistro, Jolie) earlier this year.”
