Nanas has always had wonderful food and is still great. But we had a very poor experience the last time. It took a long time to place our order, the wait person kept ignoring us, our drinks were very slow. It was an all around disappointment.

Nana's never disappoints! The food is always fresh, simple but creative, just a lovely experience. The staff is always helpful and friendly. We usually sit at the bar on a Friday evening and have the loveliest interactions with the bar tenders and staff. So grateful for this gem in the city of Durham. Thank you Nana's! We love you
I just had an amazing experience today. Went to Nana's for the first time for a friend's birthday dinner. The whole staff was very polite and welcoming. Our waitress Beza was fantastic the whole evening. She knew the whole menu, and she had great recommendations for us. We never had to search for her about anything. She always stayed connected to our table reading our minds. Beza deserves the best. The whole staff is just incredible. The food is wonderful, and the atmosphere is top notch. Thanks guys.

We were super impressed the first time, a little let down the second time. Service is always excellent and the drinks are very good. My husband said the Old Fashioned was one of the best he’s had in the area. The decor is very cozy and it feels romantic. Perfect vibe for a date night or special occasion. Our issue is that the second time around all the food was drenched in butter. We know restaurants use a lot of butter, but this was over the top. We even repeated some dishes and noticed there was much more butter than the first time. The risotto is very rich and tastes like butter and Parmesan only. I made the mistake of ordering it with the gem Caesar salad and it was two dishes that went heavy on the Parmesan. The lobster ravioli has a weird consistency. I love the creativity but I don’t think fish roe mixes well with pasta dough in terms of texture. The duck dish was very good. The crème brûlée had a nice custard but the sugared top was way too thick. We had to take it off to finish.

Amazing! Worth the wait. We have tried to get a reservation before and failed. We finally made it this evening and it was legendary! Service was perfect a s paced nicely. Food was legendary. Shrimp. Risotto is a MUST! Our expectations were exceeded! Thank you Nanas!
Surprisingly good. We ate at the bar because it was late, but the service was top notch, even at the bar. The food was also amazing. Had the New York Strip medium—done to perfection. The sides were what I’d have expected from a high end steakhouse. Even their deserts were out of this world.

The food was beautifully presented and absolutely delicious. The servers were knowledgeable and attentive. I ordered the whole trout as the entree. It was perfectly seasoned, boneless (how did they do that?) and tender. The best I have ever had. Every course was fabulous. I love NanasRockwood.

Chef Matt Kelly is magical. Do not miss his restaurants, especially his reincarnation of Nana's that celebrates what it was with a lot of great new innovation. Always a pleasure to experience his offering - we'll gladly be back.

A wonderful special occasion experience. Most of the dishes were great, very few mishits. The service could use some polishing. Don't order the souffle unless you are prepared to wait a while. We ordered it with out meal, since it takes extra time to prepare, and it did not emerge from the kitchen for 30 minutes after the table was cleared.

I had no been to Nana's since they reopened. I was so delighted that the food and service were as good as ever. We had an early dinner reservation since we were going to a play. When we arrived, the music seemed an odd choice for the ambiance. I think it was coming from the kitchen. I enjoyed it, though. Once the restaurant filled, we could no longer hear the music. I suggest coming early, if you can, since parking is minimal. My mom got the scallop appetizer and I got the young lettuces. Both were outstanding. My mom got the potato gnocchi and I got the shrimp risotto. Both were outstanding. We were too full for dessert but they make a chocolate souffle that sounded amazing.
