Best Restaurants for Business Meals in Southern Pines

It can be difficult to find a place to dine at a relaxed pace and with a noise level that allows for conversation. Ashten's hits the mark perfectly! Every bite was delicious and we never felt rushed. Fabulous evening!

The food was delicious. We were celebrating our 20th Wedding Anniversary. They really made us feel special. Free picture and complimentary dessert. The staff was so nice, attentive and made sure you had what you needed. Will def be going back! Worth every penny! The filet Mignon was tender and juicy.

I went with my mom & girlfriend. It was my mom’s 60th birthday, also all of our first time there. Upon being seated I noticed a Happy Birthday card on the table, which was signed by the staff. For apps we started with the crab hush puppies, which were amazing. The menu was detailed and also came with a guide showing where all of the ingredients came from out of NC. #shoplocal My girlfriend got the Elk, which was a first for us all, it was tender and delicious. I ordered the Lamb Shank. It was fall of the bone tender. Mom got the Salmon, which was great and had a pretty cool presentation. Paired with a dirty martini & finished with almond crème brûlée. Great meal. 10/10. Also shared 1/2 dozen oysters. Great experience, will definitely return.

The entrees were excellent. Schnitzel was moist and flavorful, with the mac and cheese, it was very filling. Char special was very tasty. The warm pecan pie for dessert was sooo good. We had a Cotes du Rhone that was very good, as well. We were disappointed with the lobster rangoon, however. While very crispy, it lacked lobster flavor in the cream. There are several intriguing appetizers on the menu that we do want to try. This was our first visit to Chef Warren's and we will return. The staff was very friendly and attentive. They spent time with us, answering questions about the menu and food preparation, as well as friendly conversation. I highly recommend Chef Warren's.
