“Counting House has one of the most beautiful dining rooms in the Triangle and I’m thrilled to be here. Restaurants should be an escape from the real world, especially today. I want my guests to enjoy the time they spend with me as much as they enjoy the food.”
Jeff Seizer’s menu is built for sharing and reflects his love for North Carolina’s seasonal ingredients and his philosophy that food should be simply prepared. Chef Jeff is best known in the Triangle for his time as executive chef and co-owner of the acclaimed Royale restaurant in Raleigh. Prior to that he spent 8 years in New York working in some of restaurateur Danny Meyer’s most acclaimed kitchens including Maialino and Union Square Café.

“Dining out should be fun. Regardless of if you’re in jeans and a baseball hat or a three piece suit. There’s so many factors at play in the dining experience: the music, drink, service, food and so much more. They all blend together to help create a certain vibe. But there’s a few things I expect at the end of every meal with friends: I want my stomach to hurt from laughing and at least 3 empty bottles of wine.”
Originally a Kansas City native, Josh moved to the Triangle in 2012. He brings over 18 years of food and beverage experience with him, which shows in his energy and passion for our beverage program and the dining experience at Counting House.
