    We had a date night here & enjoyed it. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The wine was good, although I do wish there were more wines by the glass.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I got the tuna & my husband got the duck. My husband liked the duck a lot! My tuna was a bit bland but it was cooked well. The risotto that is paired with the tuna was amazing! I could have eaten just that & been so satisfied. Our waitress was great & very attentive. We'll be back.

    Winter Solstice cocktail

    First, the food is impeccable and the atmosphere more than welcoming. I started with the Winter Solstice cocktail (pictured). Had the Kangaroo medallions appetizer and the foie gras terrine appetizer (pictured). Both were phenomenal. The terrine was recommended by our server, Daphne. Daphne was an absolute gem of a person. Very attentive and personable. Marianne, one of the owners, came by and personally greeted us and made recommendations on food and the wine pairing. We had the duck breast. It was cooked perfectly medium rare. It also came with a foie gras- based sausage. Never had anything quite like it. Very tasty, but definitely far more savory than a "regular" sausage/bratwurst. Recommended wine paired great. Did not have room for dessert, but Daphne recommended the flourless white chocolate cake. They also have a nice selection of after dinner drinks. There is a reason they've been in business for 26 years. They do it ALL right!!!

    Classic French Onion Soup
    Eddie R.

    We really liked this place. To start,?the French onion soup was the best I've ever had. We also had the chicken dish. What a treat!

    The best dessert I've tasted in a very long time.
    Rachel F.

    This place was okay, I give it a 6 out of 10.. Definitely over priced, the menu sounds better then it taste. The dessert was a 10 of of 10 flourless cake I think that was the name...That dessert alone was worth the drive. Sad this place is dine in only...I give this place 3 stars only because of the dessert was amazing...

    Chocolate mousse

    Knowledgable staff, excellent wine selection, clean, quaint atmosphere, but most of all the food is delicious. We went to Chef Warren's for our anniversary. Reservations are a must. The seating is in one main room. The meals are prepared behind the bar. Wait staff was attentive. The highlight was the food. It pleased every sense. It did not disappoint.

    The Mussels are amazing.....
    Anne B.

    We LOVE! This place~ every time we are in town we visit. We have brought customers from all of the World... and they enjoy it much the same. Yes, reservations are tight, sometimes they can't accommodate larger groups... especially during High Season in Pinehurst . Food is delicious : with so many layers. The Ambiance is a smaller, even more Romantic theme. The service is warm and welcoming~ Mary Ann always keeps a keen eye on the dining room as to times and entrees coming in and out. That's what a good Manager does. PS: my hubby is taking customers there this week , without me, and I'm jealous! I hope he gets the Onion Soup! Or the Mussels!!! OMG

    Is there room for someone with a mobility scooter to maneuver?

    I believe there was a large table just in front of the door. But there was enough room for a scooter to come through. The staff are friendly enough im sure they'd accommodate anyway.

Parking worked out for us, but I'd recommend arriving early unless you plan to use valet. Street parking nearby can be tight. The interior is charming and relaxed--exactly what you hope for in a French bistro. Our server was incredibly friendly and helpful, and the service throughout the meal was excellent. They also had a nice range of gluten-free options, which we appreciated. I had the Croque Madame and it was delicious. The mornay sauce was the standout--perfectly creamy with a smooth texture that didn't feel heavy. It's not cheap, but you get what you pay for.

We ordered the lobster bisque special and shrimp to start and placed our order for dinner fairly quickly after sitting down. The two appetizers came out right away and were very unique. We then waited an hour and a half for our entrees. Our server checked in multiple times saying they were on their way/ coming soon. We were just two people and ordered steak frites and mussels. No special order or anything complex. These are two of the most popular items. We watched tables get served and flip to new people in the time it took to get our entrees. When the food did come out, we really enjoyed it. It was well made but this was a disappointing experience overall.

To give you an idea, my husband and I ate there this evening and here's what we had (all excellent). Appetizers: tuna tartare with capers, wasabi, sesame seeds, lettuce, and crisps. It was well balanced and delicious. The other appetizer was Cambodian Spring Rolls, which were perfectly browned, and eaten by placing them in a romaine lettuce leaf with crumbled peanuts and dipping it in an amazing but light sauce. The textures and flavors played off of each other wonderfully, elevating it far above any regular spring roll you may be thinking of. For entrees, my husband had the special, Paella (saffron rice, mussels, shrimp, clams, and a whole crab, red bell pepper). Every item was perfectly cooked, neither undercooked nor overcooked and it tasted fantastic. My entree was perfectly cooked pan-seared salmon filet, with perfectly grilled large asparagus and the most amazing take on grits I have ever had (not your mama's breakfast grits). They were delicately flavored with butter, a hint of cheese and I don't know what else but it understated while still having flavors that seemed too complex for grits to have, without being overdone. There are menu items for both the more and less adventurous diner, and I cannot recommend this place highly enough. A gem in the middle of nowhere.

We started with the beef tartare, which was absolutely delicious, along with the bread and butter. The butter was so flavorful that it deserves a special mention on its own! For our entrées, we had the chicken cordon bleu and the steak frites. Both dishes were perfectly executed. The flavors were beautifully balanced, with nothing overpowering the other, allowing each ingredient to shine. To finish, we ordered the crème brûlée, and it was divine. It wasn't overly sweet--just smooth, creamy, and perfectly balanced. The service made the experience even more memorable. Our waiter, Red, was incredibly kind, professional, and welcoming. He was attentive without being intrusive, answered all of our questions, and made us feel genuinely cared for throughout the evening. I can't recommend Jolie enough. Every part of the experience--from the food and ambiance to the exceptional service--was outstanding. We would come back in a heartbeat.

Their escargot is great and I'd highly recommend it if you're open to it, and their mussels appetizer is absolutely bursting with flavor. Personally I'd recommend asking for a few extra pieces of bread with it. It's a higher end restaurant and I feel because of its association with the hotel it tends to skew a slightly more professional/business clientele and vibe but overall I think you get a pretty decent mix of people here. On my most recent visit I was told their valet service is for restaurant customers too which is pretty awesome, so if you come down when there's a huge concert going on at the park or something you don't have to walk 20 minutes to and from your parking spot. Overall I'd highly recommend it as a default "can't go wrong" pick for a nice night out.
