    We arrived 10 minutes late. They were able to get us in quickly even though Duke had a game. The menu had changed since it was a game night to their "Game Menu." It was similar but they didn't have their steaks or lamb that I had my heart set on. Our server, Kristen was wonderful. We let her know our time constraints and dietary restrictions. She accommodated flawlessly. The front of the house manager seemed like an active participant in everything going on. Food was wonderful and was a good value. I look forward to coming back when we can spend some time and really enjoy what they have to offer.

    Loved the burger, falafel wrap, crab cake and artisan salad with salmon. Always consistently good and best place to go before a Duke game.

    The salmon BLT special was more like a salmon patty and did not do justice to the delicious natural flavor of salmon.

    Our food was wonderful! 4 of us were celebrating a pre-NY EVe. The dining room has awesome ambiance. The only thing that ruined it was a large family with a 10-year old boy who couldn’t stop bouncing in his chair! I think he may have had overloaded on sweets. However, the parents who were sitting down at the other end were totally ignoring him and did absolutely nothing. It was very disappointing to see this at a fine dining restaurant.
