2024 is ending with a sizzle.
Crawford Brothers , a modern steakhouse from acclaimed Raleigh chef Scott Crawford debuts this week in Cary’s Fenton development as one of the Triangle’s final major openings of 2024.
The restaurant opens to the public on Friday, Dec. 20.
Crawford landed in the Triangle a decade and a half ago to lead the culinary operations at Cary’s Umstead resort. In 2016 he opened his flagship restaurant Crawford & Son in Raleigh and has since added a handful of stunning and specific genre projects: the French bistro Jolie , the Adriatic-minded Brodeto , the underground cocktail bar Sous Terre.
Now he’s opened his steakhouse, a restaurant built for the big occasion meals, wrapped in wood and leather and glass, winking at nostalgic institutions, yet modern in every way.
“I feel like steakhouses are kind of sexy,” Crawford said. “This is a variation on the classic steakhouse….There are no gimmicks — it’s the classics with modern technique. The best steakhouses do what they do because this is still popular, it’s stood the test of time.”
