This is a quaint restaurant with a good variety of local dishes and friendly, knowledgable wait staff. Sometimes service is a bit slow, but the delicious, well-prepared food are worth the wait. Prices are reasonable though not super cheap. It's great for brunch or dinner. It can get crowded at night, but I'm not sure if they take reservations. It's... more

I went to the Piedmont for dinner with my mom who is visiting from Europe. Unfortunately we were both rather disappointed by the food. We had two different salads and two different main courses. All the dishes were rather bland and overpriced. The interior is probably nice, but the light were all very dim, so one could see very little... more

We are true foodies, and had to be in town for our daughter's medical treatments at Duke University. After many nights in the hospital we thought we would venture out for a really good meal. The location of this restaurant is easy,., and the atmosphere is trendy. From the moment we sat down, though, it started to fall apart. For... more

We had dinner here tonight for about the 5th time. It is in downtown Durham and the atmosphere is perfect for being with family and/or friends as it is quiet enough to enjoy conversation. I loved the poulin rouge, my husband devoured the homemade sausage entree, and our daughter inhaled the seared tuna. The chicken liver mousse charcuterie was excellent,... more

I went to this restaurant while visiting Durham in Sept. 2008. I was interested in a ravioli dish as an entree, but wanted to make sure I'd get enough to eat. The waiter assured me I would. The dish came with four raviolis, or $4.50 per ravioli. Nothing else came with the dish, no bread, no vegetables, no salad, just... more

We've had both lunch and dinner here. Food is quite good and the atmosphere/decor/space very appealing. Service was good- we'll return. I particularly like their chickpea soup. more

Our favorite! Unless we are having brunch, we typically sit at the bar here too. Hmm, a pattern. The first course entrees are the best in Durham, especially the charcuterie. That is truly the specialty of the chefs, Andy and Drew. Great prices and atmosphere is top notch. more
