Littler

My wife and I visited Littler before a theater show at the Durham Performing Arts Center. The restaurant is a short, 5 to 10 minute walk to the DPAC. It's a small, cozy, and modern restaurant with simple decorations abound. We started with the Sweet Potato field starter. Wow, it was delicious. Make sure to get the sourdough bread for dipping into the olive oil with this dish. For entrees, I selected the seared scallops, and my wife had the sea bass. Both were wonderful and light. Flavors were magnificent as we shared our choices with each other. For dessert, we couldn't decide, so we got two; the chocolate chiffon cake, and yuzu & lemon posset. The chocolate mousse was about twice the size of the posset and a heavier, more filling dessert. The restaurant had wonderfully decorated restro

As a Philadelphian who enjoys our great food scene as well as that of NY city, this was a fabulous night of dining. A chic but relaxed vibe out done by the explosions of flavors in every dish. Michelin star worthy and look forward to finding my way back to Durham.

We went here as the first stop on our mini-moon and I don’t have enough good things to say! I was able to work with them to surprise my wife with by having a glass of her favorite wine ready when we got to the table, and the food was absolutely outstanding! The oysters were fresh and buttery, and the sourdough was perfect. We got the gnocchi with scallops and the short rib for our mains—both blew us away. The desserts and cocktails were great too! We will definitely be back!

Grabbed dinner at Littler before seeing a show at DPAC. The restaurant is very small but comfortable. They play music from a turntable and reel to reel cassettes - nice touch. The menu is limited but has something for everyone. We had the bread which was spelt and sourdough - pricey for what you get but excellent. Our table also ordered the tomato tart, carrot cavatelli, short ribs, chocolate mousse and yuzu and lemon posset. Everything was delicious although I think the small plates are a bit expensive for the serving. Although I say the prices are a bit higher than I would like the food is very good and we will be back.

Littler is a true gem for food enthusiasts. From the first bite to the last, the experience was nothing short of exceptional. The sweet potato and mushroom dishes were comforting and flavorful, setting the stage for the seafood extravaganza that followed. The sea bass and scallops were cooked to perfection, tender and succulent. The olive cake was a surprising delight, a unique and delicious addition to the meal. The dessert was equally impressive. The beet sorbet was a refreshing and unexpected flavor combination. To top it all off, the coffee and espresso martinis were the perfect way to end the meal. And let's not forget the mercy of the bartender drinks, which added a touch of whimsy and creativity to the evening. Joe, the bartender, was fantastic, crafting delicious cocktails that pe
