The bar at Counting House, 21c Museum Hotel's lobby restaurant and lounge, is the perfect place to enjoy seasonal and classic cocktails designed to pair with the fresh, bold and playful dishes on Chef Stephanie Klos's menus. Sip your cocktail as you peruse the art museum, open 24/7, or relax at the bar with friends.
We're from Florida. The family is from Beijing. Choose to meet at Duke. This restaurant has great steaks on the Internet. Although the lunch menu does not offer steak. But the kind waiter told us that the building had an old bank vault and an art gallery open. The lunch menu is small. But the environment is quiet. Thank you for her patience in introducing us to the old vault as part of our Duke tour. Interesting mystery

My visit wasn't shockingly bad, but it wasn't good enough to make me want to return (or to recommend this restaurant to any of my 500 convention colleagues, except perhaps the ones I don't like). My server had a wonderful disposition. She was super nice and wanted to please, so her mistakes were clearly management's fault for not training her well enough, I made a point to emphasize that I wanted the fries to be fresh and hot. The fish was tasty and piping hot, but the fries obviously weren't held under a heat lamp while the fish was frying, so they were cool by the time my food arrived. My server placed the food on the table and promised to come back to check. She didn't notice that my table had no salt and pepper, nor did she hear me asking for it as she walked away. Even though the restaurant was TOTALLY EMPTY, she failed to check on my satisfaction until I had finished eating, which is especially bad when the customer emphasized concerns and specific needs when ordering. That's an indication of bad management. When she asked "how was everything?", I replied "It was mixed, some good and some not very good." My server didn't even ask me to say what wasn't good! That's bad management. She clearly didn't know how to respond to a customer who clearly wasn't TOTALLY happy. I guess I now understand why this restaurant wasn't packed with customers.

Super unique space, food was great, only not giving a five star review cause I wish the menu was a little bigger for brunch, will return for dinner though. Monkey Bread was delicious.

The best thing going here is atmosphere. The food was super super super salty — the trout dip was so salty we sent it back. The scallops and snapper were very salty as well but a bit more tolerable and otherwise cooked to perfection. The oysters were ok. The service was unexpectedly subpar — our waitress dropped the ball on quite a few things. I will note that the restaurant tried to compensate by offering a free champagne toast. Nonetheless, I don’t know that I will return…

Counting House is my favorite go to place for yummy food, relaxed environment and a no rush feel. The art gallery vibe is a bonus, the waiters and waitresses are inviting and it's a place where I love to go to relax, eat and drink.
