My retirement party was recently hosted here and I could have not ask for a better place. Owner and Chef Ron went out of his way to take care of my dietary needs and prepared an awesome meal for not just me but for everyone attending. Thank you Ron, and to your wonderful staff for making my retirement party such a memorable event!!!!"
"Perfect place for events. Big or small.
Big or small. The indoor/outdoor combination works so well. The place is beautiful. The owners are kind, caring, personable and will go out of their way to make sure everyone is happy! Their staff is great. The place is very clean, they have a full bar, the menu is gourmet, and it is just 15 minutes from downtown Durham. Thank you, Ron and Jen!!"
"Thank you for the BEST evening.
We sincerely appreciated you opening the restaurant to us, the amazing food, sweet hospitality, and thoughtful organization. Ron, your idea for the mingling and open seating was amazing. Highly recommend you suggest that to other parties. Perfect start to the NC weekend for the out of town crew. It was so sweet."
