1 hour from seating to sandwiches being served. Sandwiches supposed to be hot were cold.

Perfect day to see the museum and to have lunch out of doors. Good food and service.

I went there expecting great things from the menu, everything looked so delicious online! Everything went smoothly at first...but then our food didn't come....and didn't come. I saw tables that came in after us get their food, and still nothing. Finally, because our waitress disappeared and didn't come back to the table for the rest of our lunch, I flagged down a manager. Without any real explanation to the delay, she said they were making it. Now I only had a smoked salmon sandwich, which required no cooking, so I'm still lost at to what could possibly cause the delay. Finally after several more minutes, she delivers it with a "Sorry" and that was that. No explanation for what took so long or a sincere apology. Disappointed & sad as an art lover & foodie.

Really nice place with a wide variety of menu selections. The waitstaff were cordial and responsive. We combined our brunch with a visit to the museum which we really enjoyed. I would definitely return here. I ordered the quinoa and wild mushroom salad which was delicious!

I love Nasher Cafe. The food is always very good and creative. The service is very good too. The only problem is the level of noise. Because the cafe is in an open space with high ceiling, the noise is loud. But the space is very pleasant!

The food and service added to the whole art museum experience! All the flavors in the wild mushroom salad blended perfectly. The chocolate skillet cake was a treat! The staff was helpful, efficient, and friendly, even during a super crowded lunch service.

My friend had the garden salad, I had the Turkey and Smoked Gouda sandwich and I took home the Smoked Salmon plate. Everything was delicious and beautifully presented. The staff were very attentive and polite. We never needed to ask for refills on water and beverages -- the staff came around several times to see to that.

I had a reservation for 2 at 2pm. I arrived at 1:45pm and waited at table for my guest. The head server informed me that the kitchen closes at 2pm. While I waited the head waiter preceded to take new diners for the 30 minutes. Nasher should stop taking reservations at 1:30 or 1:45.

I had the farmer’s omelet and it was amazing. So delicious, and packed with flavor. The iced tea was perfectly brewed. Sometimes folks just don’t get it right, but the tea was a good balance of flavor and sweetness. Just right.

Very good brunch, lots of choices. Ham & crab Benedict was good, as well smoked salmon platter. We hadn’t been since Covid, so was glad to eat there. We don’t live in Durham, but come up a lot since our son lives here.
