Chef Daniel Schurr's creations at Second Empire can include roasted Australian lamb rack, grilled turbot filet, and roasted five-spice Pennsylvania duck breast.
From the restaurant's website:
"Imagine a dining experience that combines an atmosphere of classical history and elegance with a selection of cuisine that is as exquisitely unique as it is delicious. Then imagine delighting your senses with a world-class wine selection. Now imagine finding this right here in the Triangle. It’s not imagination, it’s Second Empire Restaurant and Tavern. Located in the beautifully restored Dodd-Hinsdale House in downtown Raleigh, Second Empire satisfies the highest of standards."
Full bar. Both the restaurant and tavern serving dinner Tue–Sat. Closed Sun–Mon.
"Second Empire's location, in a lovingly and lavishly restored Victorian mansion just three blocks from the state Capitol, is one of the most elegant settings for a meal you'll find. Chef Daniel Schurr's cuisine is equally impressive, rendered in inventive New American dishes such as trout stuffed with lump crabmeat, rack of lamb with a sweet potato and leek gratin, and superb pan-roasted chicken with a ragout of braised rabbit leg and root vegetables."
