Not sure who is running the kitchen these days at the Durham but they are not living up to the dining room's past reputation. We were guests at the "Friends Giving" Sunday night dinner last night and quite disappointed. It was like dinner at a friend's house when the friends aren't particularly good cooks. Bland. Kind of watery potatoes. Beef was ok but not special. Pumpkin pie was supposed to have candied ginger in the crust - we didn't find any. Bland, bland, bland. Definitely not worth the $75 per head price. The cocktails are not included in the $75 but they were the best part of the meal.

I like it! The atmosphere, music, service and food were wonderful! Is kind expensive but it’s worth, we ordered Montreal ribeye and lamb whit Cabernet Sauvignon and Pinot noir wine. $160 Update: I went at breakfast time, 7:00 a.m., and there were no people. First, you order, and then they bring it to your table. The girl was very surprised, that I wanted one coffee to drink there and the other to go. I liked the breakfast, but I felt my eggs lacked flavor. The yogurt was good!

During the day it is the perfect place to study or get work done. The espresso martini and chicken bowl was phenomenal.

We spent a lovely afternoon here for the 3rd annual oyster fest! The atmosphere is open and inviting while lax. All food and drinks were well-prepared and nicely timed. A much needed easy Sunday afternoon; we can not wait to be back for future events.

Service was on point, professional, and courteous. Food was excellent - high quality and a very tasteful and elegant preparation. Wish the flounder was a larger size - my only hold back from five stars in all areas. Certainly delicious though. Dining room has a modern, classy and spacious feel to it. We’ll be back again!

Beautiful vibe. Can be upscale or casual depending on the energy you want to bring, the place can cater to both. Great and friendly service. Menu easy to read. Mocktails were a hit.

We had my sister's birthday brunch there this morning and it was wonderful! Peacock met us outside and helped my sister in [she is in a wheelchair]. The hostess was welcoming, and our server, Mars, was a true delight. The Bellinis were yummy and all of the food was delicious! The portions were large, the plating was beautiful, and the taste was on pointe for everything. We ordered bananas foster pancakes, stuff French toast, and breakfast fried rice. Thank you, Durham Hotel Restaurant!
