    a burger and a glass of wine
    Sahar N.

    Lovely spot! Definitely a classy difference to the neighboring restaurants which makes this a great place to come for a special occasion. Moody lighting, beautiful decor and good service. You can't go wrong with any of the menu items but I especially enjoyed their vegetarian option for a burger.

    We love going out of our way for this awesome restaurant. Chef Matt knocks it out of the park with his flavors and local ingredients. Service is perfect and all staff were so kind. We loved all the food we had, but especially the garlic cream mussels and roasted duck. Great for a date night or special occasion.

    Overall Ashten was great. Ostrich meatball appetizer was very good; served with lots of Mediterranean accouterments. I had the fish and chips which were exactly what I was craving. My friend had the Salmon, which he said was probably the best he's ever had. Cocktails were on point, although there was a little snafu with my friend's Rob Roy, at first. I had the Speak of the Devil. That small snafu didn't diminish the experience. The owners and waitstaff were very apologetic. We'd highly recommend Ashten's.

    We sat outside on a gorgeous November evening. Ambiance was wonderful. Tried the Reuben egg rolls and they were as good as the other reviews had suggested. I tried the mahi mahi special which was served over wild mushrooms mixed with roasted potatoes. (Photo doesn't do it justice, every bite was divine). Hubby had the bacon bleu burger with skinny fries (or, as the French would say, "pommes frites"). We recommend this place for fresh, well-plated food with great atmosphere in Southern Pines.

    This locally owned, farm-to-table, gem is in the heart of Southern Pines! Enjoy the ever changing menu in the relaxed environment in the main dining area or the bar! It is a must try!

    I went to O'Donnell's again recently while in town for training with a local firearms trainer. I…read morerealized something important: the only reason this bar is tolerable is that I'm typically there with the trainer, who is well-known in the community. Thus, I get treated as a friend-of-a-friend, not an outsider. Otherwise, I surely would have experienced even more of the negative things these other folks are posting about than I already have. Bottom line, this place is a freaking dive, is filthy, and has awful service. The employees mostly have attitude problems-- I was looked at funny when simply ordering a beer, as if they didn't want my business because I wasn't one of their regulars. This is nowhere to take a client, a co-worker, a friend, or anyone else whom you want to have a respectable experience. The only reason I go here is that the trainer goes here all the time and they have a good beer selection-- and there's nothing else I'm really wanting to do after being on the gun range all day. Also, they have a pool table and it's two blocks from the Jefferson Inn, where I normally stay while in town. The staff needs a major attitude adjustment, and also compliance training so they don't over-serve. This should be a place where customers are welcomed, not a locals-only watering hole where I can barely get service. This place is often empty, while there are other establishments in town that are crushing it and are always packed, so obviously folks are voting with their feet.

    Denied access into the building due to my service dog, even after showing documentation. Legal…read moreaction will be followed.
