Excellent restaurant! We were served wonderfully creative takes on Southern and Continental staples. I started with an appetizer of fresh NC soft shell crab, fried to perfection in cornmeal. But the pice de rsistance was the duck confit with truffled creamed corn. My palate was absolutely delighted! Also a superb bar that mixed a perfect negroni. A must for food enthusiasts in Chapel Hill.

Excellent. Within my top 5 in the Triangle. Pork belly and black crusted tuna are really good.

Prepared for the worst due to two prior experiences with arrogant reservations takers and an incomprehensible seating policy, I was more than pleased with the meal I had including bright and fresh oysters with a margarita granita, fabulous pork belly in a morel and corn sauce that was buttery and luscious and exquisitely matched and perfectly rare black crusted tuna in sugar snap pea sauce. Excellent, highly personal eclectic wine list.

Best dining in Chapel Hill
By MaxL, 4/11/06
The best restaurant in the city and one of the best on the East Coast. Daily menu is strong on local ingredients and is a blend of food experiences from around the world. Service & staff is outstanding. Can get crowded on Fri & Sat nights.
