New favorite in Durham! Everything we ordered was excellent, including the drinks/wine. Service was very attentive and friendly. Everything made to order. Keep in mind it is a very small space, but nice atmosphere. 100% will be back!

My wife's new favorite Restaurant in Durham. The quality of the food is outstanding and the service is wonderful. Its a cute small place perfect for couples as it's mainly counter seating (but one long table that groups can dine together). Definitely need reservations - but well worth it. Been there twice and didn't disappoint either time. Perfect for dinner before a DPAC show.

Simply put... There's something to be said for a small place w/ really good food and a decibel level that makes secretive conversations a no-go. Cheers to M Pocha for being a standout in a cool/fun part of Durham!
