Little Bull

First time visiting Little Bull and way overdue! Made reservations for dinner and sat outside. The covered patio is lovely with heaters. We enjoyed the tasting menu which we found it to be a fair value. Look forward to coming back soon, cheers!

Absolutely delicious from start to finish! Every dish was crafted with fresh ingredients and full of exciting, vibrant flavors. The presentation was stunning — each plate looked like a work of art. You can really taste the care and creativity that goes into the food. The ambiance was just as impressive, with beautiful outdoor dining and superb nighttime lighting that created a cozy, inviting atmosphere — perfect for a relaxing evening. Our waitress (I wish I remembered her name!) did an excellent job taking care of our table. She was attentive, friendly, and made the experience even better. I’m including a photo of her in the review to show appreciation for her great service. Highly recommend this spot if you’re looking for a fresh, flavorful, and well-rounded dining experience.

Great food, the tongue and cheek barbacoa might be the best I've ever had! Salsas were super flavorful too. This was my first time trying octopus as well and it was great. They put some serious char on it (in a good way). The bread pudding was delicious but definitely too much for one person. Dining area is cute -- highly recommend coming here!

This place is amazing! I can't believe we didn't dine here sooner. The food was absolutely amazing down to the smallest detail. I was also pleased to find several non-alcoholic options both mocktails and NA beer available.

First, our server was very sweet and the restaurant was setup super cute. The small plates we got were: 1) bao buns - very mid; 2) gambas - best thing we had; 3) papas - good flavor but only got maybe 3-4 bites out of this entire dish; 4) arepas - needed more spice/flavor. The cocktails were also decent. Overall, the presentation was great but nothing about anything we had was genuinely memorable. The portions were absolutely tiny for the insane prices charged. Of all the great food in Durham, I don’t think I would put this one on the recommended list.

The food was seriously phenomenal, and highly recommend the tasting menu! We visited from out of town, and had a hard time finding parking. Due to this, we ran a few minutes late and they gave away our reserved table. Better signage on their private lot would have helped!

The food was decent and had good flavor. Only thing is the steak was a bit overcooked. The server didn’t ask how I wanted my steak so maybe they just make steaks well done as a standard. It had good flavor, I know that if it was cooked medium to rare, it would’ve been way better.

We tried the Arepa and the GAMBAS A LA PLANCHA as our main dish . I had a glass of Tempranillo and my wife had a Mojito. Both were good . We also had the bread pudding as recommended by a lot of folks. In my opinion it was too sweet and two much for two people .Ideally its good for 4 folks but if you are looking for a healthy option

My wife and I decided to finally check this place out. I’m glad that they have finally added some vegetarian options. The drinks were okay, but not worth the price. Overall the food was stunning and very tasty. However the birria dumplings were not good. The goat meat was very chewy and decided not to eat it. Better to skip that dish. Customer service was on point. Overall a great experience, but at the cost of a high price tag. I don’t think we will be back with those kinds of prices. We dropped over $130 for dinner.

I agree with some other reviewers that the food is well executed, well plated, locavore, and, overall, was a creative trip through the foods that the owners loved growing up. This result could be chaotic and lack cohesion, depending on how eclectic their interests were. However, I found the menu to hold together and accomplish the vision of the creators. My wife and I split the featured tasting menu and a few more items. We were blown away by the octopus dish and found the sauce served with the gambas to be delicious as well. The sushi hand roll and pastor dish were unremarkable but well done. After recently eating at a Michelin Green Starred restaurant in Asheville, where this restaurant could improve if it wants to obtain this status is course timing and service execution. Our server was nice enough but a bit awkward. He also asked if we wanted to keep our plates and silverware between courses, something a Michelin-starred restaurant would never think of doing. All of this admittedly sounds very hoity-toity of me to say, especially as someone who doesn’t frequent Michelin-starred or fine dining establishments. However, with the pricing and food execution of this restaurant, you can tell it aims for something more, and to achieve similar recognition. And, for Durham restaurants, it’s currently their best shot.
