Being unfamiliar with Durham, we chose a restaurant based solely on websites and reviews. We wanted fine food at reasonable or near reasonable price, pleasant surrounding, quiet dining, exemplary service, and I personally love 'tasting menus'. Nana's delivered on every one of these criteria. We had a very nice corner table, did not feel crowded, and the understated, yet soothing ambience and the mature patronage made for a very quiet, conversation-conducive romantic atmosphere. The service was prompt, very friendly and proper. Special requests were met with eager willingness. And, unlike other restaurants, one of us could choose the tasting menu without the whole table being obligated to. Every dish was well presented, delicious, and uniquely prepared, especially the large portion of Risotto and the special appetizer crabcake which was loaded with prime crab meat. The fresh ingredients were obvious. Water and bread refills were timely and unobtrusive. Hard to find any faults at all - maybe one more item on the tasting menu to experience that true gluttonous experience. We left feeling we had picked a real winner!
