The setting is perfect. Along with the rooftop bar and live music it is hard to argue for a better venue in Durham. Service was exceptional as well. The waitress was extremely attentive as there were not a lot of patrons at the restaurant. But the food did not hold up it’s end of the bargain. Ordered the stuffed flounder, octopus and also crab cake appetizer, with the ribeye as well. Crab cake was good with moderate flavor. Octopus was mediocre without real bite to it as it was small even for an app. The flounder and ribeye were both under seasoned. Lastly I don’t care what my lady says, I know how to recognize a NY Strip. Food was just not up to par with the decor and service given.
Excellent dinner. Staff was very friendly and went out of their way to accommodate requests. Even providing options that weren’t on the menu! Thank you!We had the prime rib and flounder. Both great. Definitely will come back.
What a special place! Nice ambiance and great original food. Can find various options. Had of all kinds - on a lighter side fish with veg or braised beef and pork or a burger. Great service too. Always.
We had such an amazing dinner to celebrate my husband’s birthday. We had the salmon flatbread and oysters as starters which had amazing flavor. I especially loved the fried capers that came with the salmon. For mains we had the swordfish and monkfish, cooked to perfection, monkfish was definitely my favorite. For dessert we had the almond joy, crème brûlée and key lime, all very delicious. The drinks were on point as well. Definitely had a very lovely evening, and would recommend the restaurant at the durham for any celebration!
We had a fabulous brunch here. Isatou was so friendly and warm and just lovely. While yes, the food and Bloody Mary was fantastic, Isatou is what made the experience! Truly left wanting to be her best friend ??
Santiago was a great server he made the experience a 10/10! I would definitely recommend dining here.

We enjoyed the cocktails! The appetizers were also good, and the desserts were great! The Espresso Crème Brûlée was our favorite, followed by the Dark Chocolate Cheesecake, then the Key Lime Curd, the Pineapple Upside-Down Cake, and finally, the Vegan Orange Almond Cake(it was a little dry and dense). However, the absolute BEST part of our dining experience from the restaurant at the Durham Hotel was our amazing waitress, Emily! Emily was very catering. She remembered our dietary needs and modified them accordingly. She never let us wait for long before checking up on us. She was consistent throughout our entire dining experience(we were there till closing for a sisters lunch turned into dinner get together). She helped take our pictures! She was great! Emily is a great part of this business, and we will request her EVERY TIME we dine there, for sure! She deserves a raise and a bonus! It's not easy caring for a table of 13 people. She did it with ease, comfort, confidence, and professionalism! Great job, Emily!!!
My wife and I dined here on 3/31/22.Atmosphere of the restaurant was great. It’s old, but very well kept. The vibe of the restaurant is like none other in the area.The food was good. My wife enjoyed her dish and the appetizer. I wasn’t thrilled with my entree (swordfish), but I would certainly come again and try something different. I think I just ordered the wrong item for me. I decided to branch out from my normal menu items and it didn’t work this time. Everything was cooked very well, though!The service was outstanding. Our waitress was Emily and she was one of the best servers I’ve had in Durham. She was attentive, patient when we weren’t sure what to drink, knowledgeable of the menu items, and genuinely friendly. She (along with 2 others whose names I do not know) ensured we never had empty water glasses and provided exemplary service.
I have been here for brunch and dinner. The food was great for both. I believe that this is a great place to dine and a perfect place to meet a few friends and to also take visiting out of towners. The hotel itself if a unique experience.
