Nanas Durham Reviews
My husband and I had a next-level experience at Nanas.
We made our 6:45 reservation 10 days or so in advance and could only get a high-top in the bar area, and as soon as we arrived, it was apparent why it was so popular. The aesthetic is so cool and retro, totally unpretentious but brings you right back

One of my top dining experiences.
Entrees were delicious. Service was great. Parking is an issue, but the good things far outweigh that issue.

Nana's is a true Durham classic that absolutely lives up to the hype. It's the kind of place that reminds you why dining out can be such a special experience. Thoughtful service, elegant but not stuffy ambiance, and a menu that reads like a

Date night and hit/miss on food quality- some dishes good, but fresh "de boned" fish was full of bones. Alerted staff to this and no follow up or apology.... And there were many staff and managers present... expensive place not worth retur
Best food in the Triangle.
No question in my mind. Baked oysters were insanely good, shrimp risotto was as good as anything I have eaten anywhere .
I have been wanting to try this restaurant for a while.
We decided to check it out finally on a date night yesterday. We went early as we were going to DPAC. We were seated just outside the host stand and it was empty. Weird but ok. The rest of the time we were distracted by a very bored wait staff

The food was delicious (albeit our choices were very rich), the service was quite good; it was like a return to the old Nanas when it was very delicious and deeply lovely to dine there and enjoy being with your special people. We particularly enjoye
Got food poisoning over the holidays there.
Literally puking and throwing up all over the place. Left them a message. They finally got back to me and simply said sorry. I guess business is so good there they can afford it. Warning! Do not order any fish, crab, or seafood related dishes!!!!!!
Seasonal food and solid service
This was our first visit since Nanas reopened under new management. We opted for sharing several seasonal appetizers and each ordered a pasta as our main dish. My favorite dish was heirloom tomatoes with fried okra and homemade charred scallion ranch
Connect with users posting reservations for Nanas Durham
AppointmentTrader is a community-driven platform where users can exchange their reservations or leverage their personal relationships with Nanas Durham. Buyers can make informed decisions using automated seller ratings, which reflect past transactions and reliability.
Each posting on AppointmentTrader shows you which user submitted it and along with that provides a trackrecord of that user which indicates how much experience
the user has and how many percent of their transactions resulted in them issuing a refund.
If there is no user posting that fits your schedule, you can bid on your preferred time.
Let's say Peter has a great morning and decides to take his three friends to Nanas Durham at 6 PM the same day.
He checks the restaurant's website and sees that no reservations are available. He then looks at the Nanas Durham page on AppointmentTrader, but finds that there are no user postings either.
That's where the community-driven bid process comes in.
Peter can place a bid on AppointmentTrader, which serves as a reward for any community member who chooses to work on securing the reservation. AT then notifies experienced users who may be able to help.
Step-by-Step Process
1.) Setting a Reward (Bid)
* AppointmentTrader uses historical data to recommend a reasonable reward amount for securing a reservation - let's say $100.
* Peter really wants to go, so he increases the bid (or reward) to $200.
* At this stage, the reservation does not exist yet.
2.) A Community User Picks Up the Bid
* FamousStation67, an experienced AT user, has a strong track record of successfully securing reservations and low refund requests, they receive a notification about Peter's $200 bid.
* FamousStation67 picks up the bid, meaning they will now work on securing the reservation.
* Peter can now talk to FamousStation67 for any questions Peter may have as FamousStation67 user fills the bid.
3.) Finding the Reservation
* FamousStation67 now uses their connections at Nanas Durham to secure the table.
* If they successfully get the 6 PM table for four, Peter receives a confirmation that the reservation has been secured.
* If FamousStation67 fails to secure the reservation, the bid is returned to the pool so another user can try.
4.) Payment & Protection
* Once the reservation is secured, FamousStation67 receives the $200 reward which is credited to FamousStation67's AT balance, where users manage their own funds and can withdraw via available payout options such as bank transfer, PayPal, or Zelle.
* Peter can now enjoy the dinner with his friends at Nanas Durham!
* As with all transactions on AT, disputes and no-show fees are handled through the platform's community-driven resolution system. Users with a strong track record are incentivized to fulfill bids successfully, and community members can report issues to maintain trust in the marketplace.
