Delicious cuisine with attentive service - our server was kind and helped us make our show at DPAC. The escargot was tasty - favorite dish was the brown butter ham (melts in your mouth) - the cucumber soup with crab was excellent as well - everything is such a treat! Lovely evening! Thank you!

Amazing food and the staff makes you feel welcome, special, and cared for. The flavors and execution on the food is impeccable. The lemon Béarnaise sauce with the steak frites is to die for.

Absolutely fantastic experience! The food was wonderful, very friendly staff, and the bar mixed me a delicious mocktail off-menu. Our server answered all of our questions about the menu patiently. Everything was cooked perfectly to order. We had reservations but showed up early and were seated right away. We will definitely be coming back!

A true gem of Durham…this place was amazing! We had the escargot, the fois gras, the salmon, and the snapper dishes and they were all excellent! Not to mention the server, Tony, was very helpful with pairings/suggestions, kind, and just wonderful to chat with.
Oh! And we had a peach dessert which was also very very good!
Keep up the fantastic work, folks!
We had only been here years ago for the brunch but decided to try out the dinner and oh man were we not disappointed. What’s strange is that it’s not even that crowded inside so, until the word gets out, you should be able to get a table no problem - which is hard to do in downtown Durham today.

We finally made it back to this little gem after 6 years and their dinner was amazing! We got escargot, foie Gras, snapper, salmon and peach clafoutis. I cannot name a single item that was mediocre. Everything was exceptional including Tony, our waiter. He did not hesitate to offer suggestions or tweak our order. Having been to vin rouge, I can confidently say I prefer rue cler. Just wish they had a outdoor seating situation.

Rue has always been a favorite of mine. The bartender made a cucumber gin fizz and it was outstanding. Full of fresh flavors and an amazing texture.

This is a hidden gem. It's a small restaurant with a few tables but don't let that fool you. The food is outstanding. Foie Gras was better than I've had in France. Cocktails were delicious. NY Strip was perfectly seasoned and cooked. Escargot was in a mushroom butter that we couldn't stop dipping our baguette into! Creme brulee was fluffy like a cloud and unbelievably tasty!
