Best Restaurants for Outdoor Dining in Durham

Last minute decision and they were so kind. Food was great and everyone was so nice! Can’t wait to go back.

It was our 37th Wedding Anniversary and when we were seated, along came 2 glasses of bubbly and a congratulatory greeting from our Server. We had a sensational 4 course meal and at the end of the meal we were again surprised by a gorgeous, complimentary dessert “warm donuts with ice cream and chocolate script “Happy Anniversary”! What an incredible restaurant and Staff. We have a reservation pre- New Years Eve celebration, with our daughter and partner. It’s her Birthday dinner and it’s a surprise right now. Wonderful experience, thank you “Earth”!

Row 34 always delivers!! We had an amazing dinner and feasted on oysters, tuna tar-tar, calamari, dinner rolls, corn bread, chowda, and lobster rolls. The warm lobster roll is my absolute favorite at Row 34. I had some colleagues in town for some business meetings and Row 34 was my 1st thought for an amazing dinner. The ambiance is perfect for dinner out, great music in the background and just a great vibe. Don’t forget to get a chocolate chip cookie or the butterscotch pudding!!

The restaurant was great. The food was outstanding: an order of popovers to start, a roasted duck breast for me, a baked salmon for my wife left us so full we couldn’t get to dessert. The parking was a challenge and it was pretty noisy but our server, Martina, was attentive and friendly so we were very happy with the whole experience and will definitely be back

I love everything about this place. The food was delicious, the decor was modern and beautiful, and our waitress was attentive, friendly, and professional.
