Piney Point Grill and Seafood Bar — Restaurant in Durham

I travel to Raleigh on biz very regularly since my home office is in the area (previous IBM building). When I'm In Raleigh/Durham I exclusively stay at the Doubletree because of this restaurant.

The bar tender Kevin is a local favorite and is fantastic behind the bar - he remembers what everyone drinks!!

Have a seat at the bar or the restaurant and have a social conversation with other folks staying at the hotel. Everyone from airline folks to people in town for a convention or a college football game. My point is the atmosphere is wonderful with great people including the staff.

My favorites on the entree is the chicken Danielle which is actually like a surf and turf, followed by the shrimp and grits. That said, I also had the Pines salad w Salmon and that is pretty fantastic as well. Fried calamari is super fresh and delicious as well.

Literally, I haven't had anything here that I didn't like AND, if you're staying there, you don't have to drive anywhere! or order room service, cuz you can!!

I'll come back here...

Let me start with the dinner and I was planning to get steak and a salad, however, there were many glowing reviews about "Chicken Danielle." I understand why that is a favorite because the chicken with dill sauce, rice pilaf and mixed vegetables were perfection! The buffet for breakfast had a good variety and freshly prepared for both days! The service from the staff and the view of the lake were great also! I...

extremely extremely slow food service. I'm not sure if the kitchen was short staffed or overworked, but we waited over 45 minutes for some chicken tenders. the only person waiting tables was running around frantically trying to do the work of 5 people. he was still nice and apologetic, but what started out as a short stop for some drinks and apps, turned into an almost 2 hour long waiting game.

bar service was great, environment is welcoming and fun when...
