University Club

Absolutely one of the best fine dining experience you can ever get around Durham. Ordered the duck confit and the seared trumpet mushrooms for takeout, and everything from the presentation/packaging to the subtle flavor combinations of the dishes was sublime. It was a bargain to experience all this considering the quality of food and the efforts that are put into them. Will definitely return before I leave Durham.

We have photographed two weddings here, a bit different from each other, but very excellently executed both times. Jessica & her team manage setup, the overall look of an event, and the flow of guest activity without a hitch. Having separate spaces for each section of a wedding reception—cocktails at the bar, the dining room for dinner, a dance floor—creates an upscale event feel and flow. The food has always been excellent, staff helpful and courteous. Plus, nowhere else in Durham can beat those views! Highly recommend!

We hosted a two-day event at the University Club last week, and we couldn't be more pleased. The entire staff bent over backwards to make sure that we were taken care of. The food was delicious, the coffee was hot, and the desserts...I couldn't decide whether the brownies or cookies were better so I had to keep taste testing. Thank you everyone!

Extraordinary TAKE OUT! We picked up a family style with varieties , mostly salmon and shrimp main course that was outstanding. From salad and soup to dessert it was such a fine and delicious dinner. We even had yummy leftovers. They delivered to the car in paper handle bags (wearing gloves) after arrival text. Support our local restaurants if you can.

Ever since the pandemic hit full swing, my family and I have tried to find take home meals for special occasions (graduations, welcome home's and farewells, birthdays, etc...). We have now ordered from University Club twice using their family meal offerings. I cannot stress enough how unspeakably delicious the offerings are. The menu changes with varied frequency, and we have never had a bad dish. Even simple dishes and dressings are elevated to a level of indulgence that is incredible. I highly recommend the University Club for lunch, dinner, and any excuse you can find for a beautiful meal. The management is extremely kind and accommodating. Best pandemic discovery in Durham.

Great Restraunt, love the fresh quality of the seafood and lobster dishes, so fresh and full of flavor. The staff are awesome, so respectful, professional, and very knowledgeable. Staff are always on point and remember all your favorites. Great wine list. It is well worth the price for a delicious and exquisite meal, great place to come and celebrate almost any occasion or just have a high end lunch!!
