Bel Gusto - Durham

I dined at the restaurant tonight after purchasing a grouper. The staff at the reception were very welcoming, and the waitstaff were extremely nice. I had the salmon with ravioli, and it was excellent! A big thank you to Liz and the rest of the Bel Gusto/Millenium team.

The restaurant is located beside the main course in the hotel. It's not the worst experience, but it can be distracting when someone with tattoos rushes past with a cigarette hanging from their mouth. The food was good, but not worth the price. The atmosphere around 7 PM on Thursday evening was perfect for my dinner—quiet, with a warm fire burning nearby. For the most part, we were alone, which was really pleasant. I would be willing to give it another chance.

The dining experience was a bit pricey, and the menu wasn't extensive. The pizza crust was burnt, and while the staff was friendly, they didn't do much to address the situation.

On Monday to lunch. it was completely empty, including the personal. we just cried into the kitchen to let them know we were there. try to order a coffee they apparently do not serve after breakfast, despite the fact that there were 1 o'clock coffee on each table (and the coffee sauces were still there when we were gone) my mother tried to order a glass of wine that they did not serve until dinner, although there are also wine glasses on each table. I could go on, but let us just that, although eating was decent (not spectacular), they should probably close to lunch, as they obviously do not expect someone to show up between breakfast and dinner.

It was a Friday night and since it was the summer, they were serving dinner in the bar lounge. The service was slow. They gave us bread but no plates so left lots of crumbs on the tablecloth. The food was mediocre. The salmon was cooked too much and the pasta with eggplant was bland. A glass of wine was pricey.
