We chose to eat outside, and they have multiple tables under an open tent. As the sun went down, strings of lights came on,... adding to the ambiance. I kept it light, as I wanted room for dessert, so I got bread and butter to start off. The butter wassoft and spreadable, and the bread was tasty. Then I got the heirloom tomatoes, which was essentially a caprese salad, withmozzarella, basil, olive oil and balsamic. I would have preferred slightly thicker slices of tomato, but that's just mypreference. I chose the green tea creme brulee for dessert, and it was great. The sugar shell was thick, but not too thick,just right as a foil to the incredibly smooth and creamy custard underneath. Read more

Venable is a location I have visited regularly over the past few years. I often find myself craving their waffle or huevos... rancheros. It's never a disappointment to eat there for brunch through dinner. For college students specifically, this isdefinitely a place I recommend saving ~35$ (I've included that 15-20% tip) and arriving for brunch. Don't come too late becauseit can get packed quickly on weekends! Treat yourself and friends! Read more

My wife and I really like this place. The menu is creative and the soups are outstanding. Excellent bar staff. There is a weird... thing with calling the restaurant though, where the recording is long, and says that "if it's an emergency" stay on the line anda live person will answer.. Read more

Delicious food!! I had the banh mi and soup of the day. One of the most refreshing and unique banh mi’s I have had. Reasonably... priced for the size. The server was very nice. Fast service. Clean restaurant. There was another server that just seemed veryunhappy. The vibe/atmosphere indoors was meh. Read more

I’m new to Carrboro and this seemed like one of the more upscale dinner spots to try. Below are the curry mussels on special,... and the NC Trout. Very good, contemporary atmosphere and attentive service. Read more

Outstanding food and even better service. A must-try in Chapel Hill/Carrboro! These guys rocked it for lunch on Thursday 12/17.... Everyone in our group was SO impressed with the food quality and service. Having never been there, they said it was up to NYCand San Fransisco foodie standards. Bravo, and happy holidays. Keep up the great work! Read more

Venable is one of the gems in Carrboro. Even if they use the term bistro, it is a pretty elaborate food with rich flavors.... Before the pandemic, it was noisy as they have a bar, but those days it's the most pleasant place around. I highly recommendVenable whether you’re vegetarian or a meat lover. Their food is rich. Their wait staff is affectionate and careful. Read more
