approximately our 10-12th visit. An excellent, well paced meal on the (indoor) patio. "Jax" our waiter - was great, honestly, I am always impressed by the understated - he and the rest of the staff managed a busy evening with quiet panache. well done. plus he chased us down as we were leaving with our leftovers. The mussels were delicious (we should have asked for our baguette early to dip but next time!), The roast chicken and macaroni and cheese (shared - more than plenty for 2) was delicious. still our favorite in Durham!

We had a wonderful experience! Every staff member we interacted with was accommodating and kind. We didn’t feel rushed and our food came out at a really nice pace to make it truly feel like a special dinner out. Can’t say enough about the food itself - it was divine. Our server was also amazing and made it a great experience.
