Grilled octopus

Such a wonderful dinner. A must try while in town visiting. Chef Mitch the food was flawless, thank you.

Seared Scottish Salmon

The 1895 Grille is located inside the Holly Inn, Pinehurst resort's first hotel built in, you guessed it, 1895. Reservations are recommended and dress code is business casual. The ambience is top notch. We enjoyed the old school photos throughout. They provide complimentary bread with 3-4 different types. We tried the fried ricotta gnocchi for a starter, which comes with a vegetable bolognese sauce topped with balsamic. Think uber fancy mozzarella sticks -- they were delicious. For an entree, I got the Scottish Salmon, which comes with pesto spätzle, glazed carrots, braised red cabbage and mustard puree, topped with red onion agrodolce, brown butter walnut and rosemary crumb. Other than the salmon being served with skin side up, which I had not seen before, this dish was phenomenal. It had so much robust flavor in every bite, I'm not kidding when I say it was the best meal I have had in as long as I can remember. Overall, the food was outstanding, but we felt a bit rushed by the service. Our reservation was probably the last one of the evening (9pm), but for the price of this restaurant I would've appreciated a bit more patience from the wait staff. That said, the 1895 Grille still gets 5 stars in my book.

Fried ricotta Gnocchi

Out of all the dinning we have had so far at the resort this is hands down the best. The service was fantastic with them constantly but considerately checking on us, and providing wonderful suggestions. The chief clearly loves what he is doing and sent out a few extra goodies. You can also see it in all the dishes that go out. I would 10/10 recommend.

Soufflé and tiramisu

We had an absolutely wonderful evening at the 1895 Grille and it should be a requirement on your trip to Pinehurst. They graciously created a refreshing mocktail for me, and my partner had an excellent Dark and Stormy. LittleJohn then served us their three excellent bread options, and let us know the Thomas Jefferson was his favorite. It was an incredible biscuit and while I was raving about it our server Miss V. came over with a printed recipe for me to make at home. It was such a kind and elegant touch, and that special attention puts 1895 in a category of it's own. For our meals I had the special MahiMahi and my partner had the She Crab Soup and the short ribs. I tasted his soup and I can say without a doubt it was the best I'd ever had. I'll be back for the soup alone. My mahi was excellent, and the short ribs were perfectly spiced and melt in your mouth. Our lovely shuttle driver on the way over recommended we order the chocolate soufflé for dessert which was nothing short of amazing. It's famous here for a reason! We also added the Tiramisu dome and it was incredible, rich and spongy and an excellent sized portion! It was one of the best dining experiences we had, such attentive and warm service combined with a meal we'll be thinking about for months to come. You can't miss the place, seriously.

Went here on the last night of our stay at the The Holly inn. My husband walked down and asked if they had any availability for two and told us in about a hour. We were fine with that so headed to the bar in the Inn for drinks. Didn't even get the drink finished and the host came and got us for our table. We were seated in the very back in a large booth which was perfect for us. The room is so beautiful and old and little dark. We had the works. We were given water options and asked if we had any allergies! We had scallops for apps, steak and lobster for my husband and I had the special which was fish and grits. My husbands steak was perfect and very tender. My dish was lovely and enjoyable. We finished our night with the creme bur-lee and delicious coffee. Our server was wonderful and everyone was friendly and great attention to our needs.

An amazing setting with excellent service from a very friendly bartender…read more Great wine list too!

This was over the top awful. I ordered a $62 rib eye plus $3 more for creamed spinach in lieu of…read moreasparagus. This steak was mostly fat and very veiny. No way it was 12 oz. At most 8 oz but given what a terrible cut it was irellevant. It was ordered medium rare and it came back medium to well but it was so thin it almost did not matter. It was also smothered with pepper kernals which made it worse. Definitely one of the worst steaks i have ever eaten in my entire life of 67 years. That includes supermarket steaks. Next the whipped potatoes were cold and hard. I guess at some point they were whipped? The $3 surcharge for the creamed spinach was also cold and had no taste. If this were a $10 Food Lion steak i would have been disappointed but for $65 the restaurant ahould be shut down. To top it off, the server who i had to call over as he never checked on dinner saw the steak and agreed. Yet, the restaurant did nothing to cure the issue and to add insult to injury added their 20% tip to the meal since we had a large group. DEPLORABLE!!!! This was absolutely disgraceful how the restaurant could serve a fatty small veiny, tastless piece of $65 steak and not apologize and try to cure it in any fashion. ZERO ACKNOWLEDGMENT. ....but.....they did a great job of making sure the credit card charge went through!!!
