Counting House is a stylish restaurant in Durham that offers a unique dining experience within a museum hotel. The brunch menu features standout dishes like shrimp and grits and frittata. Guests can enjoy a cozy ambiance with modern and eclectic decor, including animal models adorning the walls and ceiling. The restaurant is known for its creative approach to food, using high quality, fresh ingredients. Notable dishes include the tomato and peach salad, Japanese milk bread, and French toast. While some meals may be served warm rather than hot, the flavors are generally delicious, making it a worthwhile destination.
Recent reviews highlight the food, with the Peach Salad, pickled veggies, and Japanese milk bread receiving praise. The Roasted Chicken is noted as tender and tasty, while the Gnocchi is considered good but soup-like. The Pork Schnitzel, unfortunately, was described as overcooked and dry. In contrast, the Whole Branzino was recognized as delicious, although it required some effort to remove the bones. The drinks, including cocktails, were well-received, and guests appreciated the friendly and accommodating service. Overall, Counting House provides a satisfying meal and an inviting atmosphere, making it a place that encourages return visits.
