Reviews for Counting House in Durham, NC
Ambience is impeccable and unique. This place was once a bank with a vault on the bottom floor and patrons are allowed to go... down their to lounge. It also use to be a museum and it still has a few hints of this. The food is delicious and they offervalet parking. Read more
Really happy with the food. Came out kinda warm. Took a minute to receive the food
Great food and art! Love how they do their soft scrambled eggs, and the french toast was amazing. I miss their soft scrambled... egg and polenta option that was on their 2021 menu. Read more
Excellent drink and food selection. The service was wonderful and the food preparation was incredibly quick. I've never been out... to dinner with friends before where every single person ate every single scrap of food on their plate, but it was verywarranted; no one wanted to waste a morsel! However, the restroom situation was less than ideal. It was co-ed (not too big adeal for me), but it was ALSO an all glass bathroom where you literally face strangers while you each use the toilet... There issignage taking about how privacy is a privilege that we take for granted, etc. etc. It is some sort of art exhibit, I believe.While a worthwhile topic to address, for sure, but if changing your tampon while some random dude leers at you is not your cupof tea, then you might want to go elsewhere...

Best restaurant I've been to in a while! Atmosphere was amazing, and the staff was even more amazing! Food was great, and prices... were reasonable Read more
Wicked good! My date and I enjoyed ourselves a great deal trying oysters, mushroom, pork, fish and dessert (see images... attached). Our wines (Pinot Noir & some white wine) complemented our dishes marvelously, enhancing our overall experiencetruthfully! ????The location itself was fancy, well-kept and welcoming. You should check out the upstairs restrooms too! lol.They were differently designed. We also saw a few pink penguins. The only complaint we had was our server Ryan was slightlypushy, handing us our bill when just moments earlier we informed him we were planning to just sit back, sip on wine andconversate the remainder of the evening. However, he was knowledgeable, fun and efficient overall. I mean, I?ll request Ryanwhenever I return! ???? Read more
Came here for our first fancy brunch in a while - delicious and decadent! Monte cristo and biscuit sandwich are both delicious.... Breakfast potatoes were perfect. And the restaurant decor is quite entertaining. Got to see some of the awesome 21c Museumexhibits intertwined throughout the restaurant and hotel but will have to come back to spend more time exploring "The Future isFemale." Read more
4 for food, 5 for ambience. The food was good, just a bit pricey for what it was. But you're paying for location and it's worth... it. I'm rounding up because the food was well executed, the menu decent, cocktails good. Definitely a great place for a nicedate. Service was right on as well. Some of the small plates were large enough to be an entree (rigatoni and gnocchi). Therigatoni was excellent. Read more
