Venable Bistro

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 NYC and San Fransisco foodie standards. Bravo, and happy holidays. Keep up the great work!

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.

My boyfriend took me here for my birthday and it was amazing from the service to the food! Both the hostess and server immediately acknowledged my birthday; even the food runner who came to our table once told me happy birthday! My boyfriend and I both got the salmon which was DELICIOUS- amazing flavor and atop a bed of the most amazing mashed potatoes. I was given a free dessert for it being my birthday (an extremely nice gesture considering we are not regulars or anything); I got the chocolate mousse and again, spectacular!! The service was also incredibly quick, we were in and out in under an hour which is just what we wanted. We loved every second of our meal and are sad we didn’t know about this place sooner! Will definitely be making this our go-to for any special occasions from here on out :)
