Review of Antonia's Restaurant

I’ve been here many times in the last 7 years since we moved out from Durham. I’m writing now because I saw it had a low rating which I would very much disagree with. Antonia herself sold the restaurant pre-pandemic but the hospitality remains excellent. I am always addressed by and often served by the manager. The braised meat in the winter is a favorite comfort food right here in our little town. I always love the fish, salads, and chicken. I have never had a bad meal here. These days it seems reservations are a good idea, especially on weekends or Last Friday Art Walk Nights . When it’s packed the front room with the bar which has A couple front tables and a very long bench with many small tables sandwiched in by chairs and which are readjusted over the hardwood floors for party size throughout the night gets loud and the space is sometimes too tight if you are at all unsteady or larger. So if there are hearing or balance issues you might want to ask for the second room or a front table.
