I have to think that the negative reviews of MG are written by competitors or whiney Northeastern Lynne Rosetto Kasper-wannabe Dukies . My wife and I live in Chapel Hill and go there for every birthday, anniversary, Mother's Day, and every other time we want to treat ourselves to the best food and service in the Triangle. It is ALWAYS the restaurant of choice for entertaining special clients and out-of-town guests. Tonight we'll be hosting the father of our son's fiancee at MG.\r

If there's a weakness, it's in the beer selection, and the only arrogance I've ever noticed is that THEY want ME to call THEM to confirm parties of five or more on the day before the reservation. They need to be the ones to call me for that.\r

There's no need for me to get into the discussion about the many flavors Ben and his staff are able to bring together to make most of the appetizers and entrees so memorable. Or to go on and on about Karen's desserts. Just go there and see what I mean. If you go twice and don't love this place, look in the mirror for the problem.
