    Lemon meringue deconstructed

    On the recommendation of a local business owner, go to Chef Warrens. Perfect, we arrived and had the most amazing service, Erica was the everything from the perfect bartender, to a great server. My gold rush was perfect. Dinner was the most tender hangar steak and fries, tile fish wow. So good. Great wine list too. Now save your appetite for dessert Flourless white chocolate cake Stop It Now

    We had a date night here & enjoyed it. The wine was good, although I do wish there were more wines by the glass. 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
    Scott G.

    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
    Dan H.

    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.

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.

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.

Everyone else at the table loved it! For my main I got the hanger steak. Instead of tender and flavorful, it lacked any taste and was incredibly chewy, it was incredibly disappointing. The fries were okay - pretty crispy. I had a bite of the duck and it wasn't for me - the only source of flavor was the sauce and it wasn't a hit with anyone at the table. For dessert, we got the mousse and crème brûlée. The mousse was incredibly dense and rich. If that's your jam, it's for you but I was expecting something much lighter. The crème brûlée was fantastic! Overall, I don't think I'll be coming back. For the price, there are much better restaurants.

Tried their crepes for the first time and loved it as well. As someone who drinks coffee daily, they make really good lattes. The salted honey was that perfect balance of sweet and salty without being too much of either. This is the perfect breakfast/brunch restaurant. They're consistent, personable and efficient. Can't wait to come back and check out some new items.

We were a party of 4; my husband and I got our starters at the same time, maybe about 15-20 minutes after we ordered. The other couple who was with us didn't get theirs until about 15 minutes later, with minor apologies. Once those were cleared, we waited over 30 minutes for our entrees, and when they finally showed up, my steak was severely undercooked. At that point, given how late it had become (past 9 pm), I didn't bother sending it back. I don't mind unhurried service, but this was beyond slow.

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.
