   The overall experience was fine. Just fine. Nothing special, especially for the cost. The hotel itself is cute and interesting, but the restaurant left a lot to be desired. The bathrooms are far away and up a flight of stairs, so just be aware of that. The atmosphere is pretty open so it did get loud, despite not being super busy. I did also let them know ahead of time we were celebrating an anniversary and they made no mention of it, so that was a little disappointing too.

   Our reservation was listed for 7:15pm, due to parking. We got there at 7:30 PM. No one gave us a problem about it and we were promptly seated due to the fact they were limited tables occupied, reservations were not needed. We ordered chargrilled oysters, and the beats and Burrata as a starter. The Burrata was very small compared to other restaurants that I have tried it but nonetheless the beats Plummer Burrata dish was good, char grilled oysters were OK, definitely could’ve been char grilled some more. For our entrées one had a pork chop. The other person had a veggie meal. One had a countinghouse burger, and I had the scallops. To be honest with you, The scallops were slightly undercooked. It took a while for me to chew them nonetheless, they were good. The veggie meal was also good which was called a folio, and also the pork chop is one of the juiciest pork chops I ever tasted. My issue is the food portions at counting house. There are prices that are listed as the same that you would find in any steakhouse in the Raleigh/Durham area, however they do not provide sides with their food or even have sides on the menu for you to order. So basically we all left paying a huge hefty ticket price for the food that we paid ate and we were still hungry. And this is one of the few places where we had appetizers, entrées, and dessert and we did not take any food home and that’s rare! Going forward, if you are considering to charge prices the same as the same higher line restaurants you have to also consider having the same sides as to give the customers more food, very limited portion and very small portions. The Burrata was one of the smallest that I’ve seen in a very long time. The drinks were very good, service was great, parking can be a bit of an issue in this area due to the fact that it is downtown Durham, the front of the hotel can be a little weird as where you’re supposed to leave your car for valet, or go inside. Definitely worth a try if you’re in the area

   Awesome service, tge waitress was attentive although she had a lot of tables. The food was so, so. The appetizers were better than our entrees. My daughters got the pan seared chicken and I got the scallops. We were not impressed with the food. We are from the DC area and our 4 star restaurants are better than this.

   We had a business outing with six co-workers at Counting House. Trinity was very attentive to our needs and also allowed some substitutions for a guest who had dietary restrictions. The manager also stopped by to check on us. Food was delicious. Ambience was very nice. We had a great time.

   We enjoyed the ambience and atmosphere. Sevice was excellent. The trout was lovely. Steak could have been compared to other steakhouse. Overall, a nice night and enjoyable diner.

   first, the good: Server was excellent. Ambience very good, innovative Next the other: Waited in lobby 10 minutes for table to be set; on entering dining room only three tables were occupied and we were offered corner at entrance doorway. Requested and were seated at another table. Steak was cooked exactly to ordered temperature but did not yield easily to knife or teeth. Chicken was edible. Will not return

    Food was good, but we (2) waited 20 minutes after being seated for our wait staff to leave a table she was chatting with before she came to take our orders. There were only 4 tables occupied in the entire restaurant. It then took 20+ minutes for a salad and burger to be delivered. Overall a meh experience.
