Please improve!!! Durham loves GOOD food! – Similar experience with poor service, and some of the food is very poor quality. The prices are as high as any decent restaurant but we left feeling very let down. We waited at the bar, then got a table. First words from the waiter were 'have you settled up at the bar?'. OK, valid question, but why not say 'Hello', then go and ask the people at the bar? Not off to a good start. It was busy, but I wasn't offered a drink for the duration of the meal. The prices are very high for what... read more

Incompetent staff, overpriced average tasting food The wait staff is completely incompetent and the manager is a pretentious moron. We just got back from Piedmont for Sunday breakfast. It. seemed nice at first. The place looks clean and comfortable. There was an acoustic trio playing music. Menu looked good. Then came the service. The server never said "Hello", introduced himself, or made any attempt to be polite. He seemed annoyed to take our order. Then he disappeared. Our water glasses sat empty for 15 minutes before we h... read more

Avoid at all costs – My good lady wife and I were enjoying a lovely Friday night date in Durham and had stopped in at Horse & Buggy press for a photo exhibit on birds. Since it was next door, we decided to have dinner at Piedmont. When we walked in, the restaurant was about 75% full, so we ate at one of the pub tables near the bar. Piedmont is a nice-looking place with a fairly pricey menu ($18 for a pasta dish), so we didn’t have drinks. The waiter was polite and well-groomed, and he took our orders quickly. After 2 minutes... read more

A must try for local foodies!! – The Rosemarie is one of the best cocktails I have ever had!! And that was just the start of a great evening. The housemade pate was wonderful and the salad using fresh local melon and cucumber was to A++. I've already sent a few of my friends there and my sister as well.

Yummy breakfast! GREAT addition to Foster/Farmer's Mkt area! Undesirable Waitress. – Poor service can out-gun amazing food and atmosphere, as poor food can overshadow fantastic personal service. The waitress was one of the most disdainful people I've ever met, and she seemed so promising, as she approached with her fun workwear of black and white striped knee high socks. But the next visit heralded a fresh faced waitress, no pinching, no frowns, just jocular, efficient, classic service, YAY! FOOD: SPECTACULAR, and I was rega... read more

A local gem Piedmont is, without question, my favorite restaurant for a nice quiet meal in Durham. A casually beautiful decor, not too large or noisy, excellent service, and wonderful food mark the dining experience. The menu is Italian with French influences and an emphasis on local/seasonal ingredients. The gnocchi with chanterelles and pancetta is my husband's all-time favorite. I have enjoyed the spicy candied cashews, tomato soup with basil creme fraiche, and mussels with chorizo. Early reservations have been easy to ge... read more

Not worth the money. – I spent 8 dollars on a salad that had lettuce, parsley, olive oil and pepper. Thats it. I spent 18 dollars on the ravioli that was meatless AND I had to add salt (twice!). Lastly, the chocolate mousse was super sweet and not rich. I would describe it has whipped chocolate frosting. The service was very good and the atmosphere was really nice (although loud). Overall, I would say it is below average FOR the price and all the hype.

Really gauche – Arrived at 7:30. Lots of empty tables, but the hostess had to "confer " with waiter that he wanted to take me as I was a party of one. Was informed that they were out of one entree and one appetizer even though they had only been open for dinner for two hours. When I was brought my $18 dollar ricotta ravioli (meatless - I mean $18? - come on!) I was told flippantly that they were out of one of the interesting ingredients, pink turnips. No apology, no informing me before-hand just a bitchy "here-you-go". Tres ... read more
