About Rocky Top Hospitality:
Rocky Top Hospitality has been devoted to improving Raleigh, North Carolina's local
dining scene since 1998, when their first restaurant opened. Michael Dean's Wood
Oven and Seafood Grill was the culmination of years of planning by Dean Ogan. Six
other restaurants have now opened under the Rocky Top Hospitality name. New
restaurants are always built from the menu-out, so the emphasis is always on the
food and how to create an experience you can't find anywhere else. For more
