Everything that was recommended to us was amazing! We got the ceviche, toast with butter, and cocktails and everything was delicious

Cortez in downtown Raleigh offers a great atmosphere with courteous service, delicious food, and quality drinks at a good value. While some dishes may be hit or miss, the overall experience from the greeting at the door to the quality of the food makes it a top spot in the city. The vibrant nightlife ambiance adds to the fun and festive environment. The outdoor seating provides a nice option, although it can get a bit noisy at times. Overall, Cortez is a must-visit for those looking for a fantastic dining experience in Raleigh.
