I've been to Alivia's before and thought the place was so cool with some of the worst people working there...Lately went for brunch on a Sunday and immediately noticed the service took a huge turnaround...After sitting there with our dog and a gentleman giving our dog water, we find out he's the new manager...We start telling him that we love the place and concept but hate the service so we had not been there in a while...He goes on to agree and say yes, that's why I'm here...The server was very friendly, omelets were great, and the manager, I think his name was John, was very cool...Looks like Alivia's is taking shape as the best place to hang out in Durham and hopefully for good cause the place has so much potential!
Pros: Food, great atmosphere, good coffee
Cons: service used to be bad, looks to be changing
