Parizade - Durham

The restaurant has a lovely atmosphere and the staff are very attentive. However, the menu could use more variety, particularly in terms of options on the pages. It appears that there is a section of the restaurant that is frequented by regulars, including Duke staff. I had not visited in over a decade, and unfortunately, my experience was quite different this time around, and not necessarily in a positive way.

I have visited this restaurant for dinner several times, but I was disappointed with their brunch. We had a reservation for 1:45, but they were still taking reservations until 2:00, as I saw friends arrive after my reservation time. They closed the buffet at 22:30, only allowing us to have a few dishes as they stopped cooking certain items. The price we paid should have included a carving station. The desserts were located so far away that we didn't even see them until we were leaving. The brunch cost $60 with a 20% tip, totaling $94.00. Overall, it was not worth the money.

The restaurant consistently delivers high-quality food and excellent service. Every dish on the menu is outstanding.

The food was excellent, but it was extremely crowded and did not feel relaxed. For the price, juice soft drinks should be included. Mimosas were $12!! It was too expensive for the experience.

We love Parizade and go there several times a year. We would go more often if we lived closer. Have never been disappointed with the food, ambiance or the service. This time we were there for the Easter brunch and I could have made a meal out of each item that I sampled.
