Restaurant
The food was very good, but not particularly exceptional for Italian fare. The service was exemplary, both friendly and attentive. The atmosphere is comfortable and cozy without feeling crowded. It is the type of place to linger. So why the 4 star rating? They are charging an extra fee for using a credit card. I find this irritatingly petty. There are too many other good restaurants that are NOT nickel-and-diming us to death. We won't be back anytime soon.
Our waitress was nearly the only one on the floor and there was nearly a full house! She could've used some help.We waited 30 mins from menu to placing our order and then another 30 mins between finishing our dinners completely and waiting for a dessert menu.The tiramisu was worth it though!
I have not been to Nina's in years.My friend and I met there for dinner and sat at the bar.Alison was a wonderful bartender and server. The service was excellent and the drinks wonderful.The food was fine.I had the shrimp, scallops over angle hair pasta.Cooked perfectly but not a lot of flavor to the sauce. We got our separate bills.There were 2 prices on the check.A lower price if you paid cash and a higher total if you used a debit card / credit card.Nina's was charging their customers 4% extra if you used a debt or credit card.We couldn't believe in 2024 Nina's was pawning off their credit card service fee to their customers to pay. I have been a business owner in Raleigh for 30 years and I would never do this to my clients.I understand offering credit cards/debit cards is a service offered by a business and paying the fees is part of the deal of my overhead that I can write off on my taxes.There are so many wonderful restaurants in our area.I won't be returning to Ninas.
