We had a nice lunch at the Nasher Museum Cafe. I will say it is bit on the pricey side considering what you are served. The food was decent and we were lucky enough to get flower arrangements on our table due to an event that was held the night before.

Best eatery on Duke campus that accepts food points. As a Duke student, I would always come here with friends whenever I had extra food points! I recommend making a reservation because they’re usually quite busy during brunch hours. They are accommodating for large groups!

I have a pretty picky diet and traveling can prove kind of difficult to find healthy food. That said, this is the best meal I have had in Durham all week! I got the wild mushroom and spinach salad, but had them cook the spinach, and added shrimp. Blake and the entire team were kind and accommodating, which really elevated my experience as well. The space is also beautiful, and has fast Wi-Fi so I was able to get some work done at the same time. I will absolutely be back, 10/10 recommend!

Great food and drinks (especially the drinks)! Service was just okay, the waiter that took our order, later gave our food to the table next to us and then gave it to us after the other table had already touched the plates. The kitchen was busy, so I get it but it was just intriguing the same waiter who took our order gave our order to someone else.

Avocado mash and steak melt appealed to both our eyes and stomachs. The employees were friendly and polite. I will definitely come again🫶🏻
