We had such an incredible experience here. First off, Shawna was perfectly attentive, engaging and took care of us, making the dining experience exactly how we like it. In addition, the food is just incredible and presentation beautiful! For a bistro the menu is dynamic with many twists on some great classics. The chef definitely knows what he is doing and me and my partner will be returning as we love the menu options. The monthly specials are such a great thing to keep things interesting as well. The portions are massive and everything fresh. Even the dessert was better than what you typically get! The ambience of the place is also great. This is such a gem in Durham and I cannot say enough about the place.

Absolutely enjoy every meal at this restaurant. Bistro fingers and fries were as delicious as they were plentiful. Wagyu burger never fails to impress! Halibut and fries have also been enjoyed on a previous visit. Service is always good-pleasant and wanting to ensure all needs are met!
Will be returning soon!

Shawna is clearly experienced. She was handling her own tables and helping everyone else without missing a beat. She was very polite and helpful.
The other bartender (Tay?) was very nice as well.
The food was DELICIOUS! We had the fish tacos and brisket sandwich.
First time here definitely will be back!!!

We really enjoyed dinner here, the food and service were amazing - both the Chimichurri and Caesar salad were great.
Coconut curry mussels were the best, sauce is so good you could drink it.
Flights are awesome if you want to try a variety of what they have on tap, and the tiramisu espresso martini for dessert did not disappoint.

I am honestly really disappointed in the food here. I usually don’t leave a review until a few days post dinner so I can really sit with how the food was (sometimes in the moment we are annoyed) however, still to this day I’m extremely disappointed in my meal. I ordered the brisket Mac and cheese and I got flavourless macaroni with oil soup.

I have never got a brisket Mac and cheese with this much oil, I was absolutely floored. It would’ve been less of an issue if the food had flavour but it was bland.

My bf and I have wanted to try this restaurant for a while and safe to say we won’t be back here.

The beer was great tho and for that it gets 2 stars!

Stopped here for date night wife loved the spicy strawberry margarita I absolutely loved the flat bread it was great! The Korean fried chicken sandwich was a let down but the flatbread made up for it. 4.5 ⭐️

Just had a date night here.
Food was amazing. The steak was cooked to perfection, as was the octopus appetizer.
Our server Laurel was lovely.
We will be back!

The butter chicken nachos was the best dish I've had from a restaurant in a really long time. The amount of balanced flavour was insane and it was properly layered in toppings. I will be coming back.
