We put off eating here for way too long. It definitely lived up to its billing as the best steak in Durham. Our server, Jay, was absolutely fantastic and the food was amazing. We wish we had saved room for dessert. Our steaks (NY strip and a filet) were perfectly cooked and the appetizers and sides were delicious as well. The mac and cheese was a highlight of the sides, although we will certainly try more on our next visit. More...

It is a great brunch place. The food and service were excellent. The ambiance was great. And it has a great location with easy access and parking and right next to DPAC and the Durham Bulls ballpark. We will be back.

We’ve had dinner here many times but this was the first brunch. The menu options pleased the pickiest of eaters in our group and the food (every dish) was well executed and delicious. We did have a lag between the serving of beef and non-beef entrees which left a few awkward minutes where half our party had food and it took awhile for the first entrees to come. But other than that we had a great experience. The location before or after a DPAC show makes this restaurant top of our list when visiting DPAC. Weyerhaeuser More...

The entire staff was extremely kind and attentive. I dined on the half chicken and fingerling potatoes while my daughter enjoyed the waygu steak and macaroni. The food was amazing and portion sizes are very filling.Tonight's dining experience helped to officially solidify Nana Steak as our new favorite spot. Lastly, the energy and layout of the restaurant makes for the perfect place to take that someone special. More...

No surprise that owner Scott Howell does a great job with the steak house concept. Good drinks and wine list and I appreciate his bucking current restaurant trend of charging for bread. Home made breads served graciously as part of dinner. More...

This was our first dining experience at NanaSteak and it was overall very good. My wife and I both had the filet, which was perfectly cooked and very tender. My appetizer of gnocchi was about average and too big a portion in my opinion. The grilled vegetables that my wife ordered with the steak were very undercooked and essentially inedible in her opinion. Despite these shortcomings, we definitely plan to be back. More...

The ambience is great! The service is A1! My wife and I ordered steaks of course. She ordered the rib eye and I ordered the NY strip. My steak was perfect which a touch of pink. Unfortunately my wife's steak was not as pink as she wanted. So the manager took it off the bill. That was huge! Totally unexpected. The collards were tasty. And the wine was good. My only real complaint is that it was a little pricey. More...

I've been here a couple times, and I'm surprised I didn't leave a review the first time around. Both visits were prior to a DPAC showing (duh), and both experiences were great. I'll speak more to my most recent visit for the purposes of this review.I booked a reservation for my wife's b-day, two weeks in advance for a Saturday night. This place is popular during DPAC shows, so book early. We had to go a little earlier than we originally wanted (5:30), but it all worked out great in the end, as we were out around 7:15, 45 min before the show started. My wife ordered the NY Strip with puréed potatoes, while I ordered the lamb shank and creamy veggies. We enjoyed our time and engaged in casual conversation and munched on bread, not noticing our meal was taking longer than is normal. We were offered, unprompted, a complementary appetizer. It tasted great. Our meals came shortly afterward. The NY Strip was cooked perfect. The mashed potatoes were so creamy and buttery. The shank had a wonderful gamey taste, and the creamy veggies -- which I believe was spinach -- was great as well. They asked if we wanted any dessert, but we were too full. However because it was my wife's b-day, they presented her with a single square fudge on a plate with a candle. If you've ever had a Jewish jelly ring, it tasted just like one, and was so good. Would definitely visit again. More...

Damn good steak. Great service. High quality drinks. Beautiful scenery. My steak was so tender that I could likely cut it with a spoon, though probably not the best idea.

Overnighting in Raleigh and my friend took me to this place for dinner! It's located right next door to the Durham Performing Arts Center and kinda fancy! We had reservations and were promptly seated. Our waiter was quite personable, answered our questions, gave menu suggestions, and gave us just enough time to make our decisions before he came back. Ok, so first the BREAD! They have a cornbread and it's sad I forget exactly what the other kind was especially since it was my fave!!! Well anyways, they walk to your table with a big basket to bring two types of bread. Pick the one that is not the cornbread! (You're welcome! lol) Ok, the cornbread was actually not bad but ... Ok my fave bread - yummy slices, nice crisp crust and soft in the middle. YUM!For my meal I chose a simple Filet with Gruyere Mac n Cheese as my side. They bring your sides in these cute little "pots" that sit on your plate. Filet was done perfectly! Nice and tender! JUICY!!!! (Look at my photo!) And lots of yum yum juicy jus to soak up with ... , you guessed it, more of that bread I loved! Now, I am PICKY about Mac N Cheese and this one was nice and creamy with great flavors from the Gruyere. . I must say though, I had some of my friend's mashed potatoes (I am also SUPER PICKY about mashed potatoes) and it was DIVINE! For the steak I kinda wish I would have just gotten the mashed potatoes! To Note: Mac N Cheese = VERY GOOD! But for the Filet, Mashed Potatoes = VERY GREAT! lol Those potatoes were pureed and so soft and buttery it literally melted in your mouth! I loved everything about this place and definitely would stop back in for another steak! Oh, and that bread of course! ;) More...

Great service and overall experience.We came in with around 30 minutes before closing yet still had a relaxed and comfortable meal. We started with the House Potato Gnocchi, which was delicious! The bolognese sauce was savory and sublime. We had the Snake River Farms Wagyu Flank Steak cooked medium rare, at the waiter's suggestion.  We also ordered the Rib Eye. We also ordered a side of the Roasted Brussels Sprouts and Balsamic Onions which paired well with the steak. The NanaSteak fries were tasty too.For dessert, we had apple pie with ice cream. The combination of the warm apple pie and ice cream was an ideal way to end the meal. More...

There are times when the restaurant is hampered by its proximity to the Durham Performing Arts Center. This was probably one of those times. The restaurant was full when we arrived for our 6:00 reservation. We got the last open table. With all tables full at once and everyone arriving at nearly the same time, service just wasn’t up to their usual standard. We only saw the server twice; once to take our order and once at the end of the meal when he asked if we wanted dessert. Our wine and food items were delivered by the “back” server. My wife would have liked another glass of wine but no one checked on us after our food was delivered. The food, however was up to its usual standard. A special radicchio, beet and duck confit salad was studded with chunks of duck meat. My wife’s prime rib was perfectly cooked and her mac and cheese side was excellent. My Pekin duck breast may have been the best duck breast I’ve ever had; the skin was crisp, there was a thin layer of fat beneath it and the meat was nearly fork tender. We’ve been there before a show at the adjacent theater and never had a service problem. I’m willing to chalk it up to an off night. More...

Nana Steak was a great restaurant for a casual business dinner with my coworkers. First, it was really easy to make a reservation on Open Table- they had a lot of good times available for 4 people about a week before the reservation date. The menu looked great and we were eager to try a lot of different things on it.When I arrived, a couple of minutes before my coworkers, they seated me right on time. When my coworkers arrived, they actually wanted to sit somewhere else and we were easily accommodated. We tried a bunch of different apps including the risotto, duck pate, and the foie gras special. The pate was my favorite...was so delicious!For entrees my coworkers got steak and I got the tuna steak. I enjoyed both my entree and the side I got with it (brussel sprouts). We also got mac and cheese for the table which was really good!They have an extensive wine list, a very attentive and helpful staff, and a nice ambiance. I would definitely go back to Nana Steak next time I'm in town! More...

Wow. Truly the best customer service experience I have ever had. Came for my anniversary and had a misunderstanding with the waiter so received the wrong dish. The management and wait staff went above and beyond to make things right. We were invited back for a delicious meal with one of the best steaks I have ever had. It is so clear that this staff cares about its clients and I will most definitely be back in the near future. Thank you Nanasteak! More...

This was amazing. I am so freaking glad we came here after giving up our reservation at another place. The husband had prime rib and I had the ribeye. While both were mouthwatering and should not be missed, the crispy fingerling potatoes with mustard vin will live in my memory forever. Add on top the chocolate cherry cordial and you could roll me out I was so "fat and happy"! Every bite was definitely worth it. More...

I also gave the heirloom tomatoes salad  with fried okra on it a try. It was truly mind boggling. I didn't expect this kind of presentation.
