We had a good experience back in 2009 when we visited Pinehurst, but fast-forward to 2021, and things are rapidly going downhill. The owner was flat out rude and aggressive with us (and we are nice people! and almost ruined a special birthday for my father-in-law. I was truly shocked by how he treated our group, especially knowing that it was a special occasion. And let's be honest ... this is not going to be the best meal of your life anyway, so please, do yourself a favor, and find another place to visit (Elliott's in town is EXCELLENT .

Our server seemed to struggle with his words, mispronouncing nearly everything on the menu (not that it mattered much, as the dishes were all disappointing). The soup tasted like dishwater with a splash of bottled lemon juice, and the entrees were bland and unappealing. When my kids asked for Parmesan cheese for their noodles, the waiter informed them there was none available. To top it off, my friend's gyro looked unappetizing and seemed like it had seen better days. Honestly, serving decent food isn't difficult unless you have no interest in providing good service or adhering to basic food safety standards. I'm really disappointed with this place. We left relieved that we didn't end up getting sick. Avoid this restaurant at all costs!

The waitstaff was exceptionally friendly and allowed us ample time to get acquainted with the menu. However, we did find the dining room a bit too cold at 65 degrees, but our waiter promptly adjusted the temperature for us. This restaurant is located in the heart of Pinehurst's historic district. As we've noticed with other dining establishments in this area, prices tend to be higher. For a dinner for two, I would say it's about $15 to $20 overpriced compared to what you would find in a different city. Enjoy the photos!
