anywhere for a good meal
17 Nov 2009

A very nice meal....in a very nice location...competent wait staff, decent wine list. If I sound a bit underwhelmed, it's because I am a bit. They say it's one of the best in the area, and it is...yet I am still disappointed at the overall quality of the dining experience in the Raleigh Durham area. Still...if you asked me about... more

We have been to Nana's several times over the last 3 years and have not been disappointed. The chef features local ingredients and it makes a big difference. Preparations are imaginative but not overwrought. Most recently, 4 of us ordered the tasting menu and one of us had the wine pairings. Everything was excellent, especially the scallops with mushrooms and... more

The... more

I've been to Nana's 4 or 5 times. I love the chef's tasting menu and wine pairings. It's fun but doesn't get too weird. Nice ambiance. more

We've been to Nana's several times, the last being, well, the last time. Our first experience was actually pretty good. The food was well prepared and flavorful, although the server was a little snooty - questions about the menu met with a bit of a derisive air. We chalked it up to maybe he was having a bad night. We... more

We had party of eleven and resturant was busy on graduation weekend. Nevertheless, the food selection and quality was outstanding. The risotto appetizer was truly excellent. Strawberry dessert also got rave reviews. Waiter was patient, knowledgeable, and tremedously helpful to our group. It was a little noisy given the crowd, but this was not a major distraction. more

Only went once, years ago. Found it to be less-than-advertised (based on many, many recomendations). For the same price range, La Res in Chapel Hill is *far* better! more
