“I’ll echo what’s been said here - food was superb - however, please consider adding more detailed English descriptions to the menu, it won’t make it any less “authentic” it will just make ordering way less tedious for patrons and the waitstaff (our server tried her best to explain what an Amari was and left us more confused than when we started)“

“Probably the loveliest of lovely places to hang out in all of the triangle; one of the few outdoor hangouts left after Honeysuckle closed! Conveniently nestled between E Franklin St and the trees off the Bolin Creek trail, this is just the perfect location with the perfect amount of shade and nature vibes - perfect place to read a book, catch up with a friend, have a first date, or get some work done in calming environs- highly popular for this reason. In the winter they have blankets and heaters, and during the summer they have bug spray out and the shade helps buffer the heat - be aware there will be plenty of bugs/critters, but it goes with the lovely outdoor NC experience! The internet has gotten much better over the years and you can definitely access the WiFi now without issues (was not the case a few years ago). There are only maybe 1-2 plugs on the premises, though best to charge up before you come. Drinks are delicious with plenty of coffee, tea, non-caf options - my favorites are the brown sugar oat latte and the ginger beer cold brew. Service is good with sweet and helpful baristas - there is always a line here but it goes decently quickly. The only thing I wish I could change would be longer hours so you could spend even more time here early AM - later afternoon/evening!“

“We held our staff holiday party here this past December (2023) and they were absolutely amazing. The staff were extremely attentive, the restaurant is beautiful and classy and food was impeccable. Due to the size of our group, we opted to have the entrées served buffet style. However, the appetizers and salads were individually served, and were amazing. The appetizers were delicious and the salads were so good I could have stopped there but the entrees were AMAZING. We enjoyed ourselves so much we came back with friends a few weeks later and were even more impressed. Every single thing we had was beautifully presented and delicious. I highly recommend checking out this restaurant, whether it be for a special occasion or a good night out with friends. You won't be disappointed.“

“We had the chefs tasting menu. It was phenomenal over all. However, there were two stand outs. They were the crispy sea scallop and the iberica pork. The scallop was very tender yet had deliciously crispy edges. The pork was incredible. I'm not sure if I would have identified as pork if I hadn't known what it was. Tender, yet meaty, it was truly a delight.“

“I normally treat myself to Mandey’s mussels (she’s a strong one!). Tonight, I was compelled to try the muffuletta quesadilla. Omigosh — it was perfect for me since I’m not crazy about the traditional thick bread! Mandey’s interpretation was light on that particular carb and heavy on the flavor! I chose the hand cut fries to accompany this winner of a special. This Creole descendant loves Mandey’s Cajun cookin’!“

“First time here tonight. 10/10 experience. The kitchen is absolutely on point. Love the attention to detail and quality towards every ingredient of every dish (ordered about 7 different things) They combine incredible flavors, perfectly executed. Really just had the perfect meal. Thank you for that and all you do to make it happen.On the same level as the food was the service. Our server was as good as it gets. She was genuine, perfect timing every time, not intrusive, and extremely intelligent, top level. She took a bunch of extra time to share her deep knowledge of the menu and give us the ultimate dining experience. Couldn't have been better in anyway. Beyond appreciated. Her name was Kate F.Bravo Nana's... dope spot that I will definitely be recommending to a bunch of people. I've been a foodie/industry worker for a long time, always in search of experiences like this. Looking forward to coming back.“

“Cute vibes. my boyfriend and I came on the Thursday night which is their trivia night. The hostesses checked on us many times. We both had sandwiches. That were just OK. We also bought two seasonal drinks I personally feel mine was a bit too strong, but but who complains about too strong of a drink?!? I wouldn’t necessarily recommend this place for dinner, but it was fun to do the trivia and to have snacks and dessert. I will definitely be back. Dessert was the best part…crème brûlée.“

“Our first time at Vin Rouge was a wonderful experience for two reasons: excellent food and great staff. We ordered four things from the menu (salmon, a salad, and two appetizers) and all of them were prepared to perfection. If you have a meal at Vin Rouge, we feel confident that the quality of food you experience will confirm our judgment. Our greeting lady was very pleasant. Our waitress, Kate, provided excellent service and handled everything superbly from start to finish. Semih is an outstanding manager, very professional and polite. He took the time to speak with us and impressed us as the exactly right type of person for what he is doing. A big thank-you to Vin Rouge for a great evening!“

“We were looking for a new bar to try in Carrboro and saw B-Tribe on Yelp, and we're glad we did. The entrance is very unassuming, almost hidden behind an Italian restaurant on the south end of Car Mill Mall. The place is quite small, with about five tables, and maybe 12 seats at the bar. We sat at the bar as we only wanted drinks and snack. Christian, the bartender, greeted us right away and brought food and drink menus. He explained the specials and took our drink orders. My companion found an interesting Greek white wine, and I asked for a boulevardier, my go-to cocktail for a new place. The wine was to her liking, and the cocktail was about the best example I've had in recent memory. Christian used Woodford Reserve bourbon and Campari rather than Aperol so it had a slightly less bitter taste and was a lovely auburn color. The food menu was very interesting, with lots of items we've never tried. We ordered caesar salad with anchovies, green beans in garlic-soup sauce, panella (a chick-pea and cream cheese dish), and seasoned French fries. It was all yummy and delivered together. The service we got really couldn't have been much better: attentive without hovering. The food and drink quality was outstanding, and we thought the prices were very reasonable for what we got. In short, thanks Christian, and we'll be back.“
