Then imagine delighting your senses with a world-class wine selection. It's not imagination, it's Second Empire Restaurant and Tavern, located in the beautifully restored Dodd-Hinsdale House in downtown Raleigh. The winning bidder will dine in the kitchen at the chef's table for two (2). You will interact directly with Chef Daniel Schurr and his staff throughout your dinner and thereby experience firsthand the techniques utilized by them. Second Empire satisfies the highest of standards.
