    Great food, great drinks, and great service! We enjoyed cocktails before dinner. The Old Fashioned was one of the best I've had. Also a good wine selection. We had appetizers, mains, and dessert and everything was wonderful. Perfectly cooked food and high quality fresh ingredients. The dark chocolate mousse was superb. Loved the atmosphere and convenient location. We will be back soon!

    Came to Piedmont to entertain my father and step mother while they were in town visiting from South Carolina. We were incredibly impressed by the kind service and delicious food. The entire weekend my dad could not stop raving that it was the “best pork chop I have ever had,” and trust me; my dad knows food. Because we have to get a later reservation, they were out of several appetizers that we wanted. They did not charge us for the replacement entrees that we ordered. They even offered for us to come back st 5:30 the next day to try the steak tartar that they were out of that evening (which my dad took them up on and they did not charge him for it). At the end of the dinner, the chef even came by and gave us glasses of delicious wine, that quickly became my step mother’s favortie. The chef even offered to send them a bottle. The servious here went over and beyond and the food was incredible. Right after he left my dad was already texting his friends in the area, telling them to come eat at Piedmont. Not to mention that the chef also donates a to an amazing local non profit, Families Moving Forward. My parents are already planning their next trip back to Piedmont. Thanks for the fabulous dining experience.

    The Buffalo Brussel sprouts were the best part of the meal. Oh, and they were consumed before the dreadful seasonal tasting menu "featuring" beats. The chef phoned it in on the second course, which was just a pile of beats on a plate. We partake in many tasting menus, and this one was lack luster in effort and style. The desert course was nearly as bad. The beat cake was dry and the beat cookie crumble had an overly earthy dirt taste. The only way to choke this down was custard and white chocolate on the plate. I can't say if I would go back. There are a lot of options out there. The only plus was the wait staff. They tried to put a brave face against this shameful offering.

    The restaurant decor is very nice without feeling uppity. Food was creative (like hog head croquettes) and delicious. Even very "basic" foods like the fried catfish was scrumptious. Great variety of tasty cocktails too. I will definitely recommend my friends to go to this place.

    Piedmont had been on our 'do eat at' list since w moved to Durham four years ago. We had tickets for a play at DPAC and wanted to make our evening special. Hubby had chicken (I can't remember the full name) and I had the beef ribs and both meals were beautifully done. The meal was expensive but well worth the it. The waitstaff was knowledgeable and attentive. And dessert small servings but just enough so you didn't leave feeling too stuffed!

    The food was excellent to be sure, but the portions were so small that they bordered on precious. (For example, the appetizer was four paper-thin slices of rockfish that were the size of a quarter with a half dozen micro-cubes of beets.) It's pretty rare that I eat a 4 course meal and still remain hungry. I appreciate the movement away from super-sized portions, but it appears that the pendulum has swung a little too far the opposite direction at Piedmont.
