I think most of the ones listed are pretty good. I personally can't stand Mellow Mushroom and I think 42nd Street is too loud for a first date, but most of the other ones are good options. I didn't love Tribecca tavern either and haven't ever been back (plus it's nowhere near NCSU). Porter's Tavern is nice!
I love the food and atmosphere at Dos Taquitos, but it's not particularly close to NCSU. Humble Pie is good too. If you like Indian Food, Mantra is yummy and a nice, updated atmosphere.
The art museum has a very swanky mod cafe right in it...two dates in one!
And they have live music and a wine bar on Friday night until 9-ish. (Close at I've on other nights...)
I liked Sitting, but it was very loud, but ffodie-friendly :-)
