    I usually go for the Patagonian Salmon with the Saffron Sundried Tomato aioli and succotash — it’s consistently delicious and never disappoints. This time, I decided to try the Striped Bass, and I’m glad I did. It was cooked to perfection with a beautifully crisp skin, just the way it should be. If you’re a dessert fan, especially of bread pudding, do not skip the Pecan Pie Bread Pudding. It’s rich, comforting, and perfect for sharing. As always, the wait staff was attentive, professional, and on point. This place continues to impress with both food and service.

    As always, local 22 was excellent. Cocktails were delicious, shrimp and grits were excellent. Tried the wings for the first time and they were wonderful. We always eat here when we come to Durham.

    Awesome as before. The only issue I had was that the table we sat at had wooden splinters coming out of the top of the table. However, we still really enjoyed the atmosphere and ambiance. The food service was incredible and really fast. Our waiter was his usual charming and knowledgeable self and a truly a people person.

    I’ve been back on every trip to Durham. And find something new to enjoy the specials are great. The chicken sandwich so good. The drinks tasty! Lamb sandwich was delicious and the flounder had sold out. Enjoy! Server was awesome.
