Fearrington House Restaurant Reviews List

Fearrington House Restaurant

This romantic farmhouse restaurant, a member of Relais & Chateaux, is "exquisite from start to finish...indeed sublime...at once cleverly original and intelligently conceived, with a nod to tradition," wrote critic Greg Cox of the News & Observer. Chef Colin Bedford's menu is a symphony of the seasonal, local and exotic, carefully sourced and marvelous to taste. Select from an award-winning wine cellar or let Sommelier Max Kast expertly pair wines for each course. Arrive early for an aperitif in the bar, on the front porch of the white-columned farmhouse, in the chairs overlooking the pastures, or while touring extensive gardens. Intimate rooms with fireplaces and exquisite regional art join with the 2011 Gold Medalist menu (N&O) for an exceptional experience. North Carolina’s only AAA Five Diamond restaurant is just a short drive in the countryside, near to Chapel Hill, Cary, Raleigh or Durham.

"Although excellent, compared with other extraordinarily expensive restaurants, FH is fairly low on the scale. It's fine as an oasis, but suffers from lack of competition. Overpriced and underwhelming, a bit formulaic and impersonal, yet still worth an occasional visit."

"Fearrington House is just remarkable. Perhaps it's the location so close to Chapel Hill and other great universities, but unlike so many fine, five-diamond restaurants, Fearrington has a youthful energy to it. The staff is professional and yet happy to be practicing their craft at the highest level, and it shows in every detail. Every course was impeccable, the wine list is extensive but well curatedand, and the sommelier knowledgeable about all details. It was a fantastic, memorable experience for me and my wife -- and one that we'll hope to repeat at some point in the future."

"We go to Fearrington House about every four months. The chef changes the menu with the seasons and there are always new and innovative items on the menu. This is a bit pricey (four course meal is $95) but the food is definitely worth the cost. The service is superb and the setting is wonderful. If you have a special occasion this is definitely the place to take that special person."

"Sometimes I find fine dining tries too hard or feels a little strained. The fearrington house feels natural and provides fine dining effortlessly. The cocktails are creative and delicious. The food is really amazing, and while also creative, is not too "out there" and has something for everyone. The grounds are also nice for a pre or post dinner stroll."

"My husband, my brother, his fiancé and myself went to Fearrington house on a Sunday night. The grounds are beautiful and the decor very tasteful. Our waiter was extremely knowledgeable about both the cuisine and wine. Even when not purchasing a very expensive bottle, he spent time telling us all about the options in our price point. Each of us had about seven courses and were not disappointed by a single one. (By the way, I was the only one at the table who was not a chef, and we were all very impressed). Each dish was delicious and the presentation impeccable. The Fearrington house is great for a special occasion and worth every penny."

"... this restaurant is what they mean. You have to go to a big city to find a peer. And even then, meh, it's not as good. There is something very satisfying about going to a place so elegant that is on an actual farm. Food is superb, service is top tier without being snooty, I am uncertain how the place could be better."

"Fearrington House Restaurnat offered an experience that was supburb and really very special. For our ninth wedding anniversary, our experience will always be remembered and we will go there again.

"Only a few times in one's life do you have an opportunity to experience food prepared by a Master Chef. I chose Fearrington House to celebrate our 25 anniversary. I wanted this night to be special. I looked at the menus from all the top rated restaurants in the Triangle and they were all basically the same. Then I read the Fearrington menu. Creative. Imaginative. Seasonable. The Chef's Tasting Menu is extraordinary and highly recommended. You will savor every bite. The wine pairings were remarkable and truly complemented each course. Let them select the wines. You won't regret it. Take a deep breath. Realize that this is a rare opportunity to enjoy the finest food that a great Chef can prepare. You will truly have a memorable experience."

"We celebrated our anniversary here. Everything was perfect. It is beautiful, the service is top tier and the food was exceptional. I would not want to eat here every week as it should be reserved for special occasions. You will pay the price but it was worth every penny. When the menus arrived, it even had our names on it congratulating us!"

"We travel a lot, and try a lot of different restaurants. The chef's tasting menu at Fearington House was one of the best meals we have ever enjoyed. Comparable to Melisse in Santa Monica, which is another favorite. Especially good for foodies, presentation and flavors were interesting and well done. We did not order regular entrees, but I cannot imagine they would disappoint."

"Fearrington House Restauant is a real gem, well worth the visit. You know you are in a special place the moment you arrive in the village and stroll through the gardens on the way to the restaurant. The accolades are justified and you would be hard pressed to find a more romantic setting. Chef Bedford's elevation to Grand Chef in the Relais house is well earned, and his menu is stunning. This chef is at the top of his game, and success has not gone to his head. Take advantage of the limited time 20% on line booking discount and you have the makings of a memorable evening. Extra touches like the amuse bouche, petit fours, personalized signed anniversary menu and a staff that aims to please makes this a special place indeed. Outstanding!!"

"It is a wonderful place, it just did not match up to my last dinner there. The service was excellent, the food was very good and presented beautifully and cooked very well. Missed the little additions between courses."

"We had very high expectations going in, and they were met completely by the wonderful staff and chef. The food was exquisite and there were at least 3 special tasting dishes from the chef. They also sent us home with an array of chocolates and a box of truffles for our anniversary. One of the few times that I can remember feeling like I got what I paid for with very expensive dinner. Enjoy!"

"Always excellent. We try to get here a couple of times a year and it has always been consistently at the top of our list of great restaurants. Brought my mother-in-law here for her 87th birthday in January and she remarked "now this is Dining"! They made her feel like a queen and when she asked the maitre d' if he had a license for here walker he offered to show her one. Great chef, wonderful advice, a taste experience. Have never left feeling hungry...just very satisfied."

"I picked this restaurant because it is the best place to celebrate the birthday of a special person. Cozy on a cold wet night. The flavor combinations are wonderfully inventive and the presentation is superb. My dining companion felt the portions were a bit small. Not a place for small children."

"The epitome of fine dining, period.
Everything is right: each plate a visual stunner, each course a fascinating blend of taste and texture, service at once personal, knowing and informed. I'd mentioned in my reservation that my partner is lactose intolerant and the first thing the waiter told us, unprompted and without undue weight, was a quick review of which selections were without lactose and even which ones had a minimal amount of said ingredient. It was the perfect lead-in to a sequence of dishes that thrilled without shouting, a dining experience that included every single sense (the toasted parsley made an incredible sound), and a platform conducive to civilized and intimate conversation. Perfect.

"Every year for Valentines day my wife an I go out to a higher end restaurant. I stumbled onto Fearrington House and we decided to give it a try. We love the fact that it was an old farm house. Staff was very friendly and gave good suggestions on our meal options. the tasting style menu was refreshing, it allows us to try many different items that we might not have tried otherwise. Overall, we had a great night with superb food. However, be certain you are willing to pay $250 for a meal, otherwise you may be surprised when the bill comes."
