The former Sheraton Hotel at Crabtree Valley Mall is about to get a $30 million makeover that will give Raleigh its first luxury hotel.
Sanjay Mundra, chief executive of First American Hotels in Cary, and Dicky S. Walia, who operates Welcome Holdings in Raleigh, will announce today that they will open the hotel as a Westin franchise in the summer of 2005.
...They also said they have a letter of intent from one of the country's top five restaurants but declined to name which one.

Why is it that there are probably 500 of the country's "top 5 restaurants"?...They also said they have a letter of intent from one of the country's top five restaurants but declined to name which one.

Why are you messing with the fantasy? We know about the reality. Don't mess with the fantasy, okay?Why is it that there are probably 500 of the country's "top 5 restaurants"?

God I hope not.My guess is Morton's. They have been thinking of coming here for awhile.
We need another steakhouse in Raleigh about as much as Bill Gates needs another million. I bet there's no fewer than 5 steakhouses within 10 miles of Crabtree.

Just out of curiosity I checked and there are something like 20 steakhouses within a 10 mile radius of Crabtree.
Edit: I need to add, that I won't be surprised if it is another steakhouse. I just hope it isn't.
