Watts Grocery - Durham

It was a tough day since it was Fathers Day so we expected lots of people, noise, etc. We had a reservation which I confirmed when I walked in but we ended up waiting 30+ minutes to be seated because the host tried to seat us at a table for 5 (after waiting 15min) when we were a party of 6. I confirmed 6 when I first came in as well as showed him my confirmation text to which he responded well I don 't know where that came from. I really like Watts and ultimately they got us seated and gave us a little treat since we had small children with us. I just wished that the customer service would have been more proactive and less confrontational about something that was out of our control as well. The food was great, drinks were great. Service was fine although our waiter was clearly overwhelmed. I have had many positive experiences here so we will most likely return. If I can give any feedback its to over-staff a bit for events where you know you will be busy. The host was clearing and setting tables, running drinks, etc.

We had heard that watts grocery had closed, but went to their website and were able to make reservations. we should have included how easy it was to find a table on Friday night. the restaurant is closed. it would be good for the closure, even if temporarily noticed on their web site.

That was the perfect place for a Sunday brunch. we met at 1130 a.m. and beat the usual amount. our waiter was friendly, knowledgeable and efficient. big choices on the menu, and each in our party of 8 was satisfied with its or its choice. loved the naughty geese that came with the watts breakfast! there was a relaxed ambiente and we didn't feel any hurry at all. in the did, after we finished our brunch, we stayed talking for another 20 minutes before we left for an event in duke. No one bothered us or asked us to come. I would definitely go anytime for a good meal and a pleasant experience here.

I was disappointed, there were no salads on the dinner menu except for fried okra. also seems to hold the menu in time. at 8:15 o'clock on Friday two tables were occupied when we were gone.

Great food, very fresh! excellent service in a beautiful atmosphere. we will definitely return.
