"Food was incredible! Everything was flavored so well. The calamari is the best I've ever had; the batter was amazing. The pork belly adobo was so good, I really enjoyed it. Drinks were great as well. Ambiance was absolutely gorgeous. And the server was nice (a tad slow at times but nothing worth complaining about). Highly recommend!"

"Top notch food and service and The restaurant is beautiful! The shrimp and grits we very flavorful and had just the right amount of spice! The breaky butter burger was good, but I wish there was just a bit more sauce on it. The bread was good but the sweet chili butter made it great! Came back for dinner and was just as pleased. Seems like they specialize in sauces. Anything that comes with a sauce has an elevated flavor. The calamari wasn't quite fried hard enough, most of the breading was falling off, but the sauce made up for it. The braised beef dish was good, but tastes like beef stew, great, just nothing special like the other dishes. Great service and absolutely beautiful restaurant. I will say, at night the music was very very loud. But overall, A vibe for sure!"

"Aaktun – Durham, NC Aaktun is one of those Durham gems you don’t want to miss. The atmosphere is fun, lively, and full of creative décor that instantly puts you in a good mood. Be prepared for a bit of a wait if you don’t have a reservation—it’s a popular spot for a reason! The food is outstanding. The shrimp and grits were my favorite—perfectly cooked with layers of flavor—and the bavette saltado was equally delicious. The drinks are top-notch, and the staff is friendly and attentive, making the whole experience even better. And whatever you do, don’t skip dessert. The passion fruit cheesecake is to die for! Amazing tropical flavors, a little tart, but absolutely perfect with the creamy cheesecake. Definitely one of my new favorite restaurants in Durham. Highly recommend!"

"Vibes are immaculate, you feel like you’re in tulum! Wouldn’t have expected this behind a coffee shop. The food is very flavorful, cocktails are great. Price point is a bit expensive but worth it!"

"Excellent coffee and delicious buns. I love that the cafe has lots of plants. Wonderful, friendly, and smiling baristas who will make you a delicious coffee with a smile, even if you arrive five minutes before closing. So far, I've only drink coffee at this cafe, but I'll definitely be back for lunch."
