★★★★★ 5.0 Sammi Filippi · Oct 2025

We had our baby shower at Apéritif yesterday, ~40 friends and family, and *everyone* complimented their favorite food items (deviled eggs, egg rolls, canapes, flatbreads), the seasonal decadent cocktails, and how spacious and nice the space was. Several people outside of our party dined outside on the outdoor balcony patio while we had our festivities inside and there was zero issue with service accommodating all of us. Jason and his team were helpful, kind, and on top of taking care of us the throughout all of it. Thank's again, y'all!!

★★★☆☆ 3.0 zembeil · Feb 2026

The concept of this place is cute and definitely great for Durham. Our server was great, especially considering she was the only one on tables for a Friday night. The drink menu and the food menu is rather large. Though we were surprised they were out of several things (again on a Friday night at 6:30). However, I don’t necessarily recommend the food here which is a shame. We got the artisan cheese & charcuterie board (they did have gf crackers!). The cheese selection was great but the prosciutto was not good. It was cut much too thick, no like the thin melty way prosciutto is supposed to be. The accoutrements were lacking as well, it says “nuts and seasonal accoutrements” but it was very few spiced pecans and like 4 dried orange apricots… The other folks I was with seemed to enjoy their

Lovely, bright, modern place for lunch. The food was excellent as was our server. I was visiting, but if I lived nearby, this would be the perfect place for an after work drink with friends.

★★★★★ 5.0 Carlye Daugird · Nov 2025

Two words: cocktails and sammies. I think I just had the best grilled cheese-esque sandwich of my life and their cocktails are anything but ordinary. They are unique, inventive, delicious and artful. I also hear they have charcuterie boards but now that I ve tasted their Tomatoe soup and sandwiches, I am forever ruined for grilled cheeses and will likely never make it past that part of the menu. Super kind and great service, chill relaxed but elevated ambience. Upstairs. Reasonable prices for delish!! A great chill date or quiet place to meet some friends after work.

I hosted a baby shower at Apéritif and it exceeded my expectations! The food, drinks, ambiance and customer service were top notch. Our guests had an amazing time. Highly recommend for small private events!
