Celebrated my nephews 21st birthday at Nanasteak. There were 9 of us and our server Claire was fantastic! I had the filet, cooked to perfection! The birthday boy ordered the steak tartare and shared it with those that wanted to try, all said it was delicious! Topped off the dinner with Sorbet, chocolate brownie, key lime pie and an apple crips for dessert!! Recommend the sautee mushrooms and mash potatoes!!
We went there without a reservation, so we sat in the bar area. The waitress quickly greeted us and we had good service throughout the meal. The bread and butter were delicious. I enjoyed the few pieces of salt on the top. We shared the purée potatoes, a filet, and ribeye for dinner. They were all delicious! Steaks were cooked perfectly. My son had a cheeseburger with fries and the portion size was large and delicious as well. For dessert we enjoyed the yummy apple crisp. *We did not drink but enjoyed watching them make many delicious looking cocktails.
We went there for a special occasion. We made a reservation, but got there a little early. Fortunately, we got there at the right time. What was nice was how professional the host was. When we were seated, the menus went down, and water was poured within seconds of that. Just a nice detail. The server walked us through the menu. We had excellent cocktails and a salad to start. The prices are reasonable for what you get, but not cheap. The entrees we had were prime rib and the ribeye. They were well-prepared. We asked for the chef to choose the temp they preferred. Both were cooked perfectly. The ribeye had a smokey, sweet flavor that was special. This is the place to take someone for a special occasion. We mentioned that in the reservation. At the end of the night, spoons suddenly appeared on the table. Then the sorbet of the day showed up. Nice touch, but the server remembered that I have a lactose issue, thus the sorbet. This is what a classic high-end steakhouse should be.
My wife and I had a wonderful anniversary dinner at NanaSteak on September 28th before the Raphael Saadiq concert, and it could not have been a better experience. From the moment we walked in, the staff made us feel welcome and celebrated. The atmosphere was lively yet intimate, the perfect setting for a special evening. The food was outstanding, our steaks were cooked to perfection, flavorful, and tender. The sides and appetizers were just as memorable, beautifully prepared and well-portioned. The cocktail list had great options, and the wine pairing recommended by our server complemented our meal perfectly. What made the night even more special was the attentive service. The team went out of their way to acknowledge our anniversary, which added a thoughtful personal touch. We left full, happy, and ready to enjoy the concert with the best possible start to the evening. NanaSteak has truly become one of our go-to spots for special occasions, and we highly recommend it to anyone looking for both exceptional food and a warm, memorable dining experience.
A beautiful experience at one of the finest in Durham. It's rare that I trust a restaurant with a "rare" order, but they delivered. Quite possibly the best steak I've ever had. The pork chop also gets five stars, but the real treat was the exceptional service from Grace.

Where classic steakhouse elegance meets exceptional Durham dining.
