Nanas

This was our first opportunity to go to the reimagined Nanas at Rockwood. It was one of the best dining experiences that I have had anywhere. From the moment you walk in the door you feel the difference in quality. The atmosphere is quite pleasant with chill, but modern, music playing. The server we had and the ones I heard were quite knowledgeable about the menu. When asked to explain a dish, it was a proper explanation of the dish, the preparation and chef's notes. The cocktails were subtle, balanced, and elevated. It's hard to elevate a cocktail these days, but these were on par with Alley 26 in Durham. It's what you would expect in a place of Nanas quality, but better. The bar is very nice, If you want something very good and not any more expensive than most restaurants in the Triangle, have a drink. The food was exquisite. We started with the young greens salad with radishes & Scallops Milanese. It was enough for 2 people to split & the scallops were some of the best I have ever had. It was not the traditional presentation and it was perfect. I had the duck with collard greens and my companion had the salmon. The dishes were perfect. There isn't anything else to say. The dessert was a chocolate souffle with Bourbon ice cream that was rich, chocolatey and not sweet. Overall, the perfect end to a meal. If you have a special occasion, date or business meeting this is a great place to go, because the atmosphere allows for conversation unlike most places these days. Servers are efficient and unobtrusive. I would compare the overall experience, quality of food, and thoughtfulness and quality of the beverage pairings to the best I have had around the world.

First time at Nana’s — went with a party of 4. Absolutely delicious. From the cocktails/mocktails (Trinidad Sour🔥) to the service, and the food… everything was fabulous. Forgot to take pics of all the food we ordered but would highly recommend the Tuna Carpaccio, Warm Dinner Rolls, seasonal pasta and the Grits soufflé. Thanks!

Really really good food. Every dish was tasty and interesting. The yellowtail tuna carpaccio was especially good. Everything came out at the perfect times. Service was thoughtful and prompt. 5 stars!

Had an incredible dinner here tonight. Every dish was outstanding. The symphony of flavors had my taste buds dancing with joy. The service was great and the atmosphere was inviting and warm. I highly recommend Nana’s to anyone looking for a wonderful evening.

After we set down a lady with a bread basket brought us a piece of ice cold bread that was black/burned on the outside to dip it in a chemical tasting olive oil. We got really hungry after our appetizers as it took exactly 1 hour for our main dishes to arrive after we were seated. They asked me how I liked my wood grilled duck, I said medium. The first bite was blue/rare and was barely even cooked while the last bite was over well done and burnt on the outside. I think the heat source was on one side and the cook forgot to flip the duck so the other side would cook. The dish was also drenched in BBQ sauce. I know that BBQ sauce was in the ingredients but from it I could barely taste the duck let alone it being “dry aged”. I loved the menu, I loved the decorations and paintings but I really disliked the food and the service. I feel like whoever opened the restaurant did an excellent job but the current manager doesn’t know how to run a restaurant. I also have to give a bad rating to the service because my fork and knife had finger prints on it and usually with restaurants that have tiny portions or long wait times you are given a warning like “our portions are bite sized, are you okay or would you like to order more appetizers” or “our ducks take an hour to cook, would you like something in the meantime” but they didn’t say anything like that so we had to go to another restaurant to eat afterwards.

First time trying Nana’s and it sadly didn’t live up to the expectations or hype. The service was par at best, sub par if you account for the more expensive menu prices. Other ‘fine dining’/nice restaurants in the Triangle do a MUCH better job of providing their guests excellent service. Additionally, our food was anywhere from solid to good, but nothing above that. Again, for the prices, I’d expect much better flavors and dishes. Overall not a bad experience, but certainly won’t be chomping at the bit to return

We go out to eat once a week and try different places and I can’t remember the last time I had a meal this good! I tried to remember and it was a 3 star Michelin Restaurant in NYC. The food was perfect! Literally everything was delicious! If they have it on the menu when you go please get the rotolo and the chocolate soufflé 👏 delicious!! Bravo!
