In short, it's fantastic, and consistently so.  I was actually there on Friday.  I had rack of lamb (three good sized chops) in a lamb and red wine reduction with almond green beans and sweet potato and apple dumplings.  If that sounds good to you, it tasted orders of magnitude better.  :)

Enjoy.

I have been there twice and would rate it the best fancy dining in Durham/CH, certainly better than Nana's or Il Palio.  Haven't made it to the Magnolia Grill, so can't make the comparison.

nothing in the triangle beats four square. everything there is clearly a step up, even from mag grill. i don't know how the chef does it. he's so consistent. if he's had a bad day, nobody seems to know it.

new asian fusion place called "duck and dumpling" opening at city market on wednesday. trial runs were this past weekend.
