Seriously one of the best brunches we have ever had. The table next to us sat down and before ordering got up and helped themselves to the dessert table. We thought how uncultured and rude.... that is until we ate dessert. OMG! I can’t tell you the last time an entire brunch dessert was scratch made with so many different choices. I am not doing this review justice by just describing dessert. Our shrimp and grits and crab cakes were also amazing. Be patient as your chef created an amazing dish with so many different flavors you will talk about it for the rest of the day. My crab cakes were unlike any crab cake I have ever had. Truly an exceptional meal.

As they prepared for a grand event, Chef Raymond and staff provided grand service. As was expected, the Vista breakfast (buffet) was impeccable. We were treated with care and well attended too. They have some of the best tasting grits in Durham.

Very good high end restaurant located in the Washington Duke Inn. Serves dinner and lunch and food is very good. Service is wonderful and physical space very nice. Does have outdoor seating looking at golf course as well. Can be a little slow, but really good overall experience in hotel setting whether staying there or coming in just to eat.

Excellent place and service for brunch. I had my family there yesterday and they were not busy. The $26 brunch very reasonable for the brunch with a vast array of dessert selection and expresso. Food was great-crab cakes, salmon and pan cakes. Steak was good. Overall, I would go back with a piano playing give you a perfect English manor house feel.

Oh Wow! One of the best restaurants in NC! Wine list is deep and stocked with rare finds. My group was enthralled with the Zin from Turley. Menu changes routinely, but don’t miss the corn chowder, a staple house specialty. Enjoyed a sublime dish of risotto with chanterelles; frankly words don’t do the dish justice. Staff is professional and helpful.If you are in the area you must visit. This restaurant and Inn is worth the trip. If you don’t, it is your loss.

Everything was top notch. Servers, food and atmosphere. This is one of the very few classy places in the area. The best part is the covered patio area. My wife and I like to eat alafresco (in the fresh air) and on a beautiful Wed. night (our wedding anniversary) we were the only ones dining on the patio. When we made the reservation we requested the patio, but they couldn’t guarantee it because of a special event that night. We sat at a quiet corner patio table only seeing a few fellow patrons. We walked around the restaurant and found it noisy. If you want a romantic date night call ahead ask when is a good time and date. Request the patio and tell them if it is a especial occasion for you, we received a free dessert, because we mentioned our anniversary.
