Cary, NC - Dinner - lighter fare?

[leahinsc]

We'll be getting in to Cary sometime after 6pm and after driving for 4 hrs don't know that we'll be in the mood to run into downtown Raleigh for dinner. Any ideas for somewhere we could get good apps, a salad and a glass of wine/beer. Not fried bar food.

Ciao is an excellent choice. Now that we're in the "R" months consider Tony's. Apps are half price weekdays 5-7 PM.

The Lotus Leaf in Cary would fit the bill. Northwoods Market shopping center at the corner of Harrison and Maynard.

I second Lotus Leaf -- inside seating is better, I think. They do take reservations.

Don't know if Bosphorus have a liquor license but the food fits your description. It's a Turkish restaurant that serves Turkish/Mediterranean cusine-

If you're coming from I-40 (Harrison Ave exit), the restaurant is in the little strip mall immediately on the right before the railroad tracks.
