Great dinner here tonight. Octavia and Littlejohn provided amazing service! The short ribs and the chocolate soufflé are beyond delicious!

We wanted to have Valentines Dinner at the 1895 Grill because the main room is so lovely and romantic and we’re willing to spend $85 per person to do that. Last night we were taken to a spare brightly lit back room. We should have been told that. Not ever going

Easily one of best restaurants in the area. Service is classic and impeccable. Food is supremely gourmet, wonderfully high quality, beautiful, and plays with the taste buds in ways you may have never experienced or expected. Big kudos to chef Adam on the swordfish for preparing possibly one of the best fish dishes I’ve ever had, from someone who spent decades in expensive areas along the Florida coast.

This was our best dining experience in Pinehurst to date! We've lived in the area for three years, and this was our first visit. I must say, we were blown away! The staff, including the host, manager, server, and busboy, were incredibly friendly. The atmosphere is historic and beautiful, creating a warm and cozy ambiance. The breadbasket was the best I've ever seen, the appetizers were incredible (especially the gnocchi), and the dinner was amazing. I ordered the short rib, and it was delicious. Both couples tried the souffle, and it didn't disappoint. We'll be back again, and whenever friends visit and seek a great dining experience, this is our go-to place!

We celebrated our 35th anniversary at 1895 tonight. Everything was perfect. The service was excellent. We enjoyed the different varieties of bread, and our entrees of braised beef ribs with accompanying Brussels sprouts, mushrooms, and cornbread pesto croutons. The tiramisu was delicious as well. It was a delightful experience we won’t forget.

As guest staying at the Holly Inn we had breakfast at the 1895 Grille today and we will not ever be returning. We ask to order food vs the buffet for my wife because she has food allergies. The scrambled eggs were not hot and tasted like paste, the bacon was cold and tough, the raspberries and blackberries tasted moldy, the toast was cold and barely toasted, the butter was 48% vegetable oil and undoubtedly with soy, and the omelette I had was burned burned on the outside and runny inside. All of this for $32 a person plus tax and 18% gratuity. I would have had a way better breakfast at Waffle House. The chef running this should be embarrassed at the quality of food we were served. The servers were nice enough but immediately informed me the chef was very busy and any order would take some time. That seems a little odd since it was 6:30 AM and there were not many people in the restaurant.
Went last night for my husbands birthday and it was great! Little John and our female server (I forgot her name) they both were excellent!! Very personable and hospitable! Foie gras appetizer was one of the best i have had. Great wine selections and the dessert was so good too! The food was great but the service made it an experience. Thank you look forward to coming again!

classic old-style setting, well appointed not too "clubby". Service was good overall, somewhat spotty at times. Food was excellent! The she crab soup was possibly the best I've had (and I have had a lot of she crab soup over the years), presentation was unique and the taste outstanding! I had the short ribs, while quite good , lacked in presentation. My wife had the filet and it was spot on delicious as was the mac and cheese. The chocolate souffle for dessert was probably the highlight, with the pouring of the creme anglaise spectacular! The wine list by the glass, so-so but adequate....all in all still a very good night.

Really enjoyed our group dinner here. They were able to accommodate our group of 7 which was a pleasant surprise. The service from the host, to waiter and expediters was perfect. The food was very good and quite rich. Wine selection was also nice and seemed reasonably priced.

Standard cheap hotel buffet. Nothing special
