Well unfortunately, you are coming to one of the most tobacco friendly
states in the US! Believe it or not, there are still some restaurants that
don't have a non-smoking section although finding them in the part of town
where you will be is unlikely.
From where you will be (the Crabtree Valley area), it isn't far to a whole
collection of very good, non-chain restaurants in downtown Raleigh (such as
downtown is) and it doesn't take long to get there either (10 minutes
maybe).
Who am I to offer up a suggestion since I won't be joining the group for
dinner but since I am inserting myself, I would suggest going to 518 West
(great food, reasonable prices), 42nd Street Oyster Bar (seafood, a little
more expensive), or even better, Hard Times Cafe (probably the cheapest of
the three, excellent chili - I personally like Texas 4-way). 518 West
doesn't take reservations and seating a group of more than four can be tough
sometimes but their food is excellent (although I still prefer to go to 411
West in Chapel Hill given the choice).
BTW - where are you coming from?
My $0.02 - FWIW!
Mike
