Please improve!!! Durham loves GOOD food! by David from Westbury on 8/28/2010 via Citysearch
Similar experience with poor service, and some of the food is very poor quality. The prices are as high as any decent restaurant but we left feeling very let down. We waited at the bar, then got a table. First words from the waiter were…

Incompetent staff, overpriced average tasting food by Ras J on 8/2/2010 via Insider Pages
The wait staff is completely incompetent and the manager is a pretentious moron. We just got back from Piedmont for Sunday breakfast. It. seemed nice at first. The place looks clean and comfortable. There was an acoustic trio playing…

My good lady wife and I were enjoying a lovely Friday night date in Durham and had stopped in at Horse & Buggy press for a photo exhibit on birds. Since it was next door, we decided to have dinner at Piedmont. When we walked in, the…

A must try for local foodies!! by foodfan09 on 8/20/2009 via Citysearch
The Rosemarie is one of the best cocktails I have ever had!! And that was just the start of a great evening. The housemade pate was wonderful and the salad using fresh local melon and cucumber was to A++. I've already sent a few of my…

Yummy breakfast! GREAT addition to Foster/Farmer's Mkt area! Undesirable Waitress. by vulpes on 1/8/2009 via Citysearch
Poor service can out-gun amazing food and atmosphere, as poor food can overshadow fantastic personal service. The waitress was one of the most disdainful people I've ever met, and she seemed so promising, as she approached with her fun…

A local gem by LeVonne P on 9/18/2008 via Insider Pages
Piedmont is, without question, my favorite restaurant for a nice quiet meal in Durham. A casually beautiful decor, not too large or noisy, excellent service, and wonderful food mark the dining experience. \r The menu is Italian with…

Not worth the money. by Emilymc on 5/8/2008 via Citysearch
I spent 8 dollars on a salad that had lettuce, parsley, olive oil and pepper. Thats it. I spent 18 dollars on the ravioli that was meatless AND I had to add salt (twice!). Lastly, the chocolate mousse was super sweet and not rich. I…

Really gauche by reallydisappointing on 4/20/2008 via Citysearch
Arrived at 7:30. Lots of empty tables, but the hostess had to "confer " with waiter that he wanted to take me as I was a party of one.\r Was informed that they were out of one entree and one appetizer even though they had only been open…

Great addition to downtown by aqdrinker on 3/2/2008 via Citysearch
This place has a somewhat sparse decor with high ceilings and a finished concrete floor. Generally appealing, but maybe a tad stark. The service and food are excellent. I've had brunch and dinner here and both were excellent. The shrimp…

Try their pate by aprall on 1/16/2008 via Citysearch
We came here for an event with a prix fixe menu. I wisely selected the pate as an appetizer- you have to try it! Also, their chocolate cake dessert was absolutely amazing. The service was incredible considering we were a group of 35 or so.

Best New Restaurant Anywhere by kimtique on 4/14/2007 via Citysearch
We went to the Piedmont after hearing great remarks from friends. What awaited us, made us want to keep coming back: fantastic preparation and service, great food, and a range of new flavors that you won't find anywhere else. We sat at the…

Nice Surprise - Great meal and value by gprospero on 1/15/2007 via Citysearch
I went with several friends for the first time recently and we were all very happy with our meals. As a group we eat out often and at restaurants ranging from the moderately priced to quite expensive... this meal ranked in the top tier. …

another good restaurant in downtown Durham by jbnh on 1/12/2007 via Citysearch
We have been to Piedmont a couple of times for dinner and I have also been their for lunch. The dishes have always been tasty and carefully prepared. I have enjoyed the wines I have selected, which were on the low side price-wise. …

Rustic-style Italian served up in an industrial-style setting. by Contributor on 1/8/2007 via Citysearch
In Short
Italy's Piedmont meets North Carolina's Piedmont with the best of both showcased in locally sourced ingredients and Italian country dishes. Exposed ductwork, leather banquettes, saring arched ceilings and canvassed…
