My quest for discovering new places to eat in Durham brought me to KB. Their online menu looked interesting and their reviews were very good.
We had a 9:30pm reservation for a late dinner and it was still busy when we arrived and waited about 10 minutes for our table. I got the impression that a lot of the diners were regular patrons.
Our menu differed from the online version due to the ever-changing farm to table concept. We were looking forward to trying the Roasted Beef Marrow Bone and the Arancini but they weren't on the current menu. Our server recommended the Bruschetta, made with pear instead of tomatoes. It was a good start to our meal.
For our entrees, we had a roasted pork loin and duck breast. Both dishes were absolutely full of flavour and delicious! The portions were good but I definitely would have eaten more. The presentation was also very attractive. Excellent food!
For dessert, we chose the creme brulee but they were sold out. Darn. My companion ordered a cappuccino. Our server, who was very good throughout the evening, surprised us with two complimentary cappuccinos since some of the menu items that interested us were not available. That was a really nice gesture. That's service!
We'll definitely be back to see what other farm fresh dishes are being served!
