Best Restaurants with a Happy Hour in Durham

We arrived on time and table was waiting for us. A large table was next to us so we were trapped in place but it was fine. Wait staff could get through the maze and it was nice to see the place crowded. We started with mezze platter- taziki was amazing with a lemon reduction and tons of fresh dill. We got the eggplant and carrot salad too. Both amazing and try carrot salad - it was better than imagined. Nothing was overly garlic and everything was balanced and dressed perfectly. Amazing “pita” was warm thin and more like naan meets warm bread. We split cauliflower and the amazing Mac and cheese side. Place looked bright, casual and comfortable. The staff was attentive and the food was amazing so run to nikos. They take reservations too!

Best Steak I have ever eaten from a Steakhouse Restaurant from the first cut piece to the last. The quality of the food was Grade A+. The service was exceptional and I will most definitely plan to return. I want to give a big shout-out to the Chef Rubio and to our server Jonathan for their hard work at the Restaurant.

Great food, fun atmosphere, could work on course pacing, although since it’s tapas it works out

The experience was good, it took a little longer to receive our food, understandable because it was Valentine Day, but the food was ok, some items were left off my salad, no big deal, the chicken could have used more seasoning, a bit cold. The bread that is served is not good and perhaps a different type should be used.. Our server was great.

We had a wonderful time at dinner the night before Valentines Day. Our waiter took care of us and the food was impeccable as always. We enjoy the understated atmosphere and it all together made for a great meal.
