"Just what I was looking for - good value with delicious food, not overdone - just right business casual. Able to order some light fare which I enjoyed very much, and didn't leave feeling bloated - nice menu and good wine choices. Highly recommend!"

"Was looking forward to a birthday brunch with my family but this time did not live up to last year's experience at all. Waiter was not very personable or friendly.Home fries were undercooked and flavorless, beignets were tiny and dense compared to last year, container of prepackaged jam was disappointing and french toast was dry."

"Brunch is one of our favorites and we find the brunch selections at 411 among the best in the area. Not only interesting but also priced right. They also are quick to accommodate any special requests and the service is competent as well as friendly."

"I absolutely loved this restaurant. Me and my date were looking for a new place to try, and came across 411 West. We were blown away by the quality of the restaurant. The home-made pastas are all delicious and incredibly reasonably priced. We had the Wood-Grilled Shrimp as a starter and then had the Whole-Wheat Fettuccine and the Lasagna Bolognese. Both were great. Definitely left happy and eager to return again. A great restaurant for a reasonable price!"

"I have been to 411 West twice, the first was outstanding. This last time the food was average. I think it depends on the specials, the salad was tastee."

"The service was so rushed...The main course arrived before we had finished the salads, and the waiter was clearing the table of the main courses before everyone was finished. This was a Friday at 5:45 reservation..We were out of the restaurant in less than an hour. I won't be back unless I have to catch a flight and am in a hurry...Not relaxing at all"

"I've been for brunch and dinner. The brunch was quite good. Dinner was not. Pasta looked and tasted like it had sat out and dried, chicken was difficult to cut. Our waiter was attentive but unknowledgeable and forgot our salad. I think we hit them on a bad night and will probably give them another shot, but was not satisfied with first dinner."

"We had a lunch of nicely prepared salads followed by cappuccinos; the server was extremely polite and had no problem with us continuing to sit and talk after the kitchen had closed."

"We were celebrating our son's 21st birthday. The restaurant was very busy and it was quite loud - which was good since we wanted to celebrate. Our server was Margaret. And she was amazing! Great service, great conversation; personable but not overbearing. Very, very good choice for our evening."

"We added 5 people to our table of 7 and I spoke with one of the owners. He worked it out so that we could all be together which was very nice; we very much enjoyed the Chicken Marsala and the field greens salad; half-price bottles of wine was a nice addition. Will definitely go again and recommed to others."

"411 West has a nice enclosed patio that wa perfect for Sunday brunch. The waiter was attentive but not hovering. The brunch menu offered a nice selection that included good savory options. Excellent grits and wonderful grilled pear salad"

"My husband and I took 4 UNC students to dinner. It was a fun and busy atmosphere. The boys loved it. Everyone's food was great except my lasagna which was cold in spots and a little dried out. The waiter and kitchen handled my complaint well and I appreciate that. I would go again."

"We were seated at a very small table for two beside an aisle and the bar area---very busy and noisy! Service was prompt; however, the waiter brought us the wrong salad. The artichoke spread appetizer was so garlicky, we only ate part of it. My Chicken Marsala was much too bland, but my husband enjoyed his entree. The Creme Brûlée was excellent. We had to ask for water and coffee. The dinner cost was moderate, but I don't think the restaurant was as good as it was several years ago when we dined there more frequently. I probably wouldn't choose it again any time soon!"

"We're long-time patrons of 411. Our recent dinner, esp. risotto and beet salad, were not up to 411's typical standards. But 1 miss in 20 isn't bad. We'll be back."

"I love 411, and the food is always good in my experience. I think the prices are reasonable and service also great. I tend to find the tables a bit too small (my husband is 6'2") so it sometimes feels a bit cramped at the table, but the experience otherwise is a treat."

"This was our second visit to 411. Chicken marsala was excellent (again) but the lemon linguine was a big disappointment. Server did not refill water glasses nor did he offer to get us another glass of wine when he delivered the dinners and our wine glasses were almost empty. He also did not offer a dessert menu - we had to ask for one. Will still visit this restaurant again, but will avoid dishes that could be flavorless and swim in oil. LOVE the half dish options -- perfect for us!"

"After waiting for about 10 minutes for a waitress to notice us (or to finish taking care of others) we were greeted and ordered. Food was very good. Pizzette for one of us and large Caesar and shrimp app for the other. Will return. But, waiters should take notice that lack of early attention is very bothersome, especially on game night or when other after dinner activities may be an issue."

"411 West is always good! Our group had the crab pasta, calzone, scallops and salmon, and all were very good. Desserts were good as well, especially the peanut butter pie. We go here every time we are in Chapel Hill."
