   The dining experience was wonderful! Ginger our waiter was very good in explaining the menu and answering our questions. The food was phenomenal! I had the scallops and my husband got the pork chop. Also we had the Beet Burrato for our appetizer which was so delicious! The only downside to the restaurant was our bar experience while waiting for our dinner time. The bartender was very nice but very slow and seemed to be reading off something while he fixed drinks. I felt he needed help!

   Pleasant service and a cool, metal but earthy ambience. Enjoyed the 21C art upstairs as well. Fantastic oysters and all food was deliciously and easily digested.

   We had several delicious appetizers, the fish of the day and amazing cocktails. The fish was cooked perfectly with a delightful light sauce. Every bite was delicious and worth taking the time to savor slowly. Our waiter was so kind and helpful as we asked a lot more of questions about ingredients we had never heard of. Cant wait to go back!

   What a lovely dining experience - delicious dinner at Courting House - this restaurant brings a unique experience to Durham. The head chef and menu recently changed. Classics still on the menu with some new changes. This hotel is one of the best parts of the 21c hotel. The staff was truly fantastic - the food delicious and fresh. Also great cocktails and good wine on the menu. Definitely give the Cava a try! Will be back sometime for sure

   Brunch today was an "experience." -Waited more than 50 minutes for our orders after inquiring twice. (The restaurant was nearly empty with just three other tables being served. -two order of eggs on Bisquits arrived ice cold and with soggy Bisquits. They were returned to us in the same fashion after being sent back to the kitchen.) -the waiter was MIA. Only refilled our coffee once in 50 min and that was after hunting him down. Was not available at all to ask where our food was. Finally after contacting the manager, did she offer to bring out some monkey bread and offer a concession with our check. This was incredibly disappointing morning as we were celebrating a special occasion. Having dined here previously, I can only say today's experience was was not consistent with our previous positive ones. That said, we will think twice about returning as something seems to be askew with the kitchen and wait staff. Kudos to the manager for stepping up today.

   We went to the Counting House for a birthday celebration. Great ambiance! Excellent service from Ginger who was training a new employee. Ginger was quite knowledgeable! We had three different varieties of oysters as our appetizers. I enjoyed my main course as did my partner who got the ribeye. Highly recommend!

   Brunch was delicious, got the biscuit with tots and I was blown away. Would definitely return just for that.

    Service was slow and not attentive. The server forgot a request. I had the burger medium rare and it was tasteless and dry. The blackened shrimp and grits was enjoyed by my dinner companion.
