      We requested a table away from the bar and kitchen when making our reservation and were very pleased with our warm welcome and the table selected. The service was Exceptional as Always! I have been several times over the years but the food has not always been consistent but tonight our expectations were completely met and beyond. The Grilled Venison Loin with Collard Greens & Balsamic Onions with Sweet Potato/Plum Gratin finished with Smoked Bacon Vodka Sauce was delicious! It was a Perfect Dining Experience!

      I'm super excited that this restaurant is open, that it is Gluten Free and located in Southwest Durham. They opened their doors last week and this was my first visit. We made reservations and I suggest that you do as well because every table was full except for one. I think that is a great sign for a stormy, rainy Tuesday evening. It took us several minutes to be greeted when we arrived but our waiter, Matt made up for that quickly. His knowledge of the menu and food preparation was exceptional. I love their farm-to-fork concept and that they purchase most items locally.

      My first impression was good and I will be back. The atmosphere was nice, decor has clean lines and the service was amazing. We shared a starter of bacon wrapped dates and they were good but having only 3 felt like a tease for the size and price. I had the Primal Salad that was mixed greens, shaved coconut, spiced almonds and a honey vinaigrette. The salad sounded fantastic and it was average. The Pasture-Raised-Porkchop was a show stopper. It was a thick chop, cooked to perfection with arugula and a sundried tomato relish. We voted that the Porkchop was the best of the main dishes we tasted of the evening. I also sampled the Swordfish, green bean salad and the red wine mushrooms. I could write a love song to the Mushrooms. Yum! We ended the evening with sharing the lemon pound cake. My friend said it was ok for a gluten free cake because she wasn't use to the texture and that it is what she expected. I've had gluten free desserts that could fool anyone so I was a little disappointed on this one. The texture was crumbly and I expected better.

      Overall, I'm still very pleased with the quality and service! We did make the recommendation that they improve the acoustics because it got very loud at times and was difficult to have a conversation but for only being open a week that is minor and can be resolved.

      I've been going for 6 weeks and just signed up for 6 months. I'm so excited about the strength and endurance I've experienced in this short time. They have a Knowledgable staff that teach nutrition and fitness. They hold clients accountable with checking weight, measurements and tracking nutrition.

      I was initially concerned because I have a knee and back injury but this has not been an issue because the trainers modify the exercise and I still feel challenged without worrying about hurting myself. I'm excited to see how my body is changing each week as I'm building muscle and burning fat.

      The facility is clean! The staff is professional, high energy, positive and encouraging. I highly recommend that you give them a try.

      Wow! This place in Fantastic! This was a pleasant surprise since I had never heard of the place and was just passing by. We were given a friendly welcome from the time we walked in. The service and food brought back fond memories of a recent trip to Jamaica. The server suggested that I sample the Jerk Chicken and the Curry Goat before ordering because I said I didn't want anything crazy hot. Both were delicious but I had the Jerk Chicken and my guest had the Butter Shrimp. I can honestly say that the Collards were some of the best I have ever had.

      Friendly service, great food, large portions and reasonably priced!

      I had never heard of Wellville Massage & Healing Arts until I saw a Living Social offer. I have driven by this location many times and never noticed it. I was super pleased with my visit and will hopefully be back sooner than later. The setting was calming and quite when I entered the building and it set the tone for a relaxing experience. Heather was my therapist. She was professional, knowledgeable and gave me some helpful tips on ways to avoid the stress I was carrying in my shoulders, neck and back. I had the Swedish Massage and highly recommend Heather and Wellville.
