“I typically only rate/review exceptional experiences and last night was one to remember. I took my parents out to celebrate their anniversary and everything about our experience was top notch. Food was exciting and different without being too fancy. We have lived in durham all our lives and agreed it was the best meal since we have had since magnolia grill and four square shutdown. The atmosphere was great without being too loud and the outdoor space is somewhere we will definitely revisit. I am a bit reluctant to call out this restaurant for fear it will become too popular but it is too special to not be recognized. if you have not experienced little bull I would suggest you try asap“

“I was so disappointed with my meal as I had been looking forward to trying their spanakopita which came with a Greek salad. The salad was very good but the spanakopita was terrible. It was so dry that I couldn't cut it with a table knife! I've had this dish at other places and this is the worst I have had--order with caution!“

“My partner and I recently did a wine tasting event with the owner, Esteban, and loved it. He was super engaging, unpretentious, and informative. The tasting was appropriate for both a casual drinker and sommelier level, since it was a small group and he was able to tailor his commentary accordingly. The wines selected are those that I would have not been exposed to otherwise which was a real treat - I feel like the tasting opened up a door into a new world for us!

It would be really great if they would start offering a bit more food service (e.g., bread and butter, cheese, etc), even if it’s super limited. I know I would come more often if I could get a little nibble with my drink.“
