1st I would like to say I made reservations for my anniversary and when I got there they did not have them, because I was at the wrong Nanas. Despite that they still were able to seat my wife and I within 10 minutes of arriving. I don't remeber all of our drinks but I do know they were all enjoyed. The brussel sprouts were crisp with perfect mix of sweet and salty, like balsmic vinegar with teriyaki. The ribs were insane to say the least: falling off the bone and so crisp on the outside. I still think about the mac and cheese, probably top 5 in my life. Wife ordered stuffed chicken and she really enjoyed it. I order the wagyu steak medium well but they were able to save it, I meant medium rare. I just wanted crispy outside pink in the middle, when I say they did not miss I mean that from the bottom of my heart. We ordered dessert for ourselves and the kids togo. they all enjoyed it. Even though I botched the reservations they still gave us an annivesary moment. They congratulated us and brought out shareable sorbet, I don't eat sorbet but that made me change my mind. Good experience, servers were very polite, held my camera and took our pictures to capture those memories. Highly reccomend, I will definitely be back.

My better half and I met up with my 35+ years friends for a reunion/get together dinner. We were promptly seated for our 7:45 reservation. Brendan was our server and was polite, concise, and engaging.
We ordered a bottle of Grgich Cabernet 2022, which was absolutely fantastic. Our server was very patient with our time as we were catching up more than perusing the menu for our future selections.
Eventually we got to ordering and our spouses both selected the filets, my BFF ordered the prime rib with mushrooms, and I ordered the Wagyu Picanha. We also ordered the Family style sides of mushrooms, and Beef Tallow French Fries.
"Incredible" would be the most appropriate word. The steaks were all cooked absolutely perfect, with a great flavor, buttery texture, and a nice thin crust. The brussel sprouts were sweet with a little more depth than those little balls normally give. The mountain of beef tallow French fries was an overwhelming mountain of crunch and flavor....
This has been in my top 5 of lifetime steaks (and experiences). Simply amazing. As was the 2nd bottle of Grgich Cabernet....lol.
Another trip to Nana Steak will definitely be in our future travels. -
Very nice experience for our anniversary. Brendan was phenomenal and Jared was an excellent companion as well during our service. From the host, backwait, server, and manager it was phenomenal. They obliged my request for Champagne to start. Server was very knowledgeable about wine and menu. We had Calamari & Beef Tartare to start. We also had the Wagyu Picana & Salmon for dinner. All great recommendations and choices. Dessert was the cheesecake which we both loved.

I have been to Nanas Steak several times. It is one of the best places to get a steak. The drinks are typically good aswell. I've been here for private dining, big parties, small parties. The last time I came however, the steaks weren't hot. The sides were but not the steaks. Never experienced that before but I'm going to come back again to make sure it wasn't just an off night but the rest of my party was disappointed by that. I enjoyed the ceviche and cabbage also.

We went here before a comedy show at DPAC a couple of weeks ago. The food and drinks were amazing. Service was on point. We will definitely be back if we can get in before a show. We tried the scallop ceviche, it was a large portion. The bread service which was nice. I had the off menu American wagyu picanna and my wife had the prime rib. All of the dishes were good. Highly recommend for a dinner out in Durham.
