Years ago, it would have been difficult here to find a hip, urban hot spot where one can enjoy a nice meal and then dance until the wee hours. Five Star proves that Raleigh can party with the best of them. Fashioned from an old tobacco warehouse, the restaurant is decorated in a hip, minimalist style and all in red. There are two full-service bars and a large dance floor for an active nightlife. The food is nouvelle oriental and the menu is good, though a bit limited.
