NanaSteak at 345 Blackwell Street, Durham, North Carolina.

Consistently our favorite place to dine in the area. Food is always terrific, tried the bone-in pork chop for the first time tonight, and it's my new go-to entree. My wife had a newer menu item, the pork risotto, and she raved over every bite. But it's not the food, although terrific, that makes this place stand out. It's the people! Our server knows what we like to drink, and always offers suggestions to my wife for a new Chardonnay or Pinot Grigio. Great suggestions on menu items and cooking styles. Water handlers and bread servers remember our names and give us hugs. And Graham, the Manager is a Class Act. Always warm, always professional, does everything possible to make every visit a memorable one. We love the place.
