Fearrington House Restaurant

We've been here many times before. The food and service were impeccable on this occasion as they have been on every occasion. Each course was innovative and delightful and everyone in our party was very pleased with their meal. Wine selections were a bit too pricey this time and it surprised us as we have always found good options at reasonable prices in the past. We chose Fearrington House for the best food and service in this area. We were not disappointed.

Our evening at the Fearrington House was simply fantastic.

This simply is a 'must do' if you live in the Triangle. We celebrated our 30th wedding anniversary there and our hearts were warmed to see a wedding reception going on the night we ate! :) Best of luck to them. This is a wonderful place; service top notch, innovative, delectable cuisine. A true bucket list restaurant!

Awesome, romantic ambience and experience. Impeccable food. Great farm to table food quality.

First-class menu and staff in quiet setting. Great for a celebratory evening out.

A perfect way to celebrate a special occasion. There was attention paid to every detail. It was very memorable.

Delicious food and great service. This is always a wonderful experience.

The restaurant printed personalized birthday menus for the occasion, it was a lovely and unexpected gesture.
Simply wonderful!

Our meal experience lasted nearly 4 hours, which was about 90 minutes too long for this crowd. While there were numerous attentive servers, sommeliers, etc., we arrived at 6:45 and didn’t eat until about 9 pm. We appreciated having a quiet and unhurried meal together, as four siblings having a reunion, but it seemed too long to sit before we ate.
The scallops were tender and seared perfectly. The lamb was also delicious, and the chocolate soufflé dessert was divine. Overall, a nice experience.

Great place to go if you want to be pampered. It is expensive, but you do get what you pay for.

Such a wonderful dining experience. Every bite is a taste treat. We go out of our way to dine here. Sophisticated, elegant 5 star dining and service.

Best high end restaurant I have experienced in 40 years.

One of the nicest dinners we have had (eating at many fine restaurants throughout the world). The food was innovative and well-prepared using local produce. The staff was very attentive. The wine list was outstanding and reasonably priced.

Excellent meal and great staff! The chef accommodated dietary restrictions and the staff went above and beyond to make sure we were satisfied and didn’t leave hungry.

We always enjoy the Fearrington House. The atmosphere and cuisine is unmatched.

Fearrington house is in a class by itself here in the RTP area.

Amazing! We've lived in the area for 12 years and have never been here before. Got a gift certificate and thought we would celebrate my husband's birthday. Did not disappoint. Waiter was very nice and informative, sommelier was knowledgeable and the food was exceptional! And there were some little extras prepared by the chef that weren't expected. The bill came along with 2 little jars of their jam to take home. And the menu had a Happy Birthday greeting on it for him to take home along with a little box of chocolates! Will definitely be back for another special occasion!

The entire experience was special. Jason and Saiff took excellent care of us. The elegance of the Inn extends to the remarkable food from the chef.

I had the chief tasting menu and it was great. I also love the wine pairing. It was truly great experience. I liked the octopus and ham dish and eggs

An exceptional experience for special occasions. Lives up to all its stars. Not sure what the rating system was for the noise level, but I meant it was quiet, elegant. The food was heavenly. Portions were what one would expect of a high end establishment: just enough to satisfy and reveal all those sumptuous flavors, but did not leave us bloated, stuffed. The wait staff was professional and very attentive to detail.

Outstanding dinner for our Anniversary. Wonderful service!

A true gastronomic experience. The 4 course meal and wine pairings were excellent and the service was impeccable. Truly one of the greatest places to have a gourmet meal in the Triangle area.

My wife and I chose the Farrington House restaurant for a romantic evening out. Overall we loved it. The food was outstanding as was the service. Understanding that the venue is old, the massive cobwebs in the window next to our table were not needed to amplify that fact.

An exceptional experience - the food, the ambiance, and the value. Maitre-de Joris is the consummate leader with a professional team - captain Cory and sommelier Todd among them, that made the experience both educational and memorable. Fearrington House is beautiful but as with many destination occasions, it is always about the people from the kitchen to through the front of house that make the experience worth repeating.

Awesome ~ every morsel was delicious!

It's delicious, formal, and a bit expensive. But worth it. The service is superb, the setting country elegance. Highly recommended. We've been back many times over 40 years, and we look forward to our next meal there.

We went to Fearrington House to celebrate our 50th wedding anniversary (did not tell FHR nor did they ask). The evening started out well until my wife's second course that included a duck dish. After eating that duck dish, my wife started experiencing stomach pains that got progressively worse as the dinner progressed. She found it painful and then difficult to walk out of the FHR (drank only water). She told the waiter the duck was not properly cooked. He said it was. \\ I asked that I be served a glass of wine with my entree. Repeated that request to the waiter. When my entree was served, no wine. Asked the waiter. A wine glass was placed at the table. Asked again shortly thereafter, where is the wine? When my meal was half eaten, the wine steward showed up and apologized. So what. The enjoyment of drinking the wine with the meal was "lost". I should have said no need to serve the wine to the steward but did not. Getting upset "destroys" the atmosphere. My wife called the next day to complain because she was still not feeling well from the meal, the duck dish in particular, and that feeling continues today. The response was: did you tell the waiter at the time of the meal which is hindsight. Offered to reverse the meal charges. Regardless, a couple only gets to celebrate their 50th wedding anniversary once. A couple wants, at least, the dinner to be a memorable experience. In our case, forgetting our experience at FHR can not occur soon enough.

The Chef's menu, it was amazing! The wine pairing was good with some surprises which we look for. The dining experience was relaxing. We like to dine in quite restaurants and I think that Fearrington House understands that. Our view was a window seat looking over the well manicured garden, just wonderful.

I do love going to TFH, and this will not be my last time going. However, service did not measure up to their usual standard. Food slow coming to table and server seemed distracted.

One of a kind dining experience. For adventurous palates. It's a tasting menu dream if you enjoy varieties of fresh produce/ingredients. Service is exceptional.

One of the greatest places in the area.

Had $95 3 course with $75 wine pairing.

There were nice extra amuse bouche before the meal and the breads are nice.

- Late harvest served with the Crab Salad was fantastic.
- The quail and the wine was also fantastic. Was expecting a quail though, hot a wrap.
- The rabbit was also great but the wine that came with it was not impressive at all. Rabbit was also wrapped in prosciutto. There was some potato puree, but I could not eat it because it was literally like eating butter at the spoon.
- Quote: 70% on wine selection. 75% on food.

Cons: Had only one glass of each and had to slowly them sip to keep it to the end of the course instead of enjoying it as I would have expected. I heard afterward the wine pairing was bottomless, but the sommelier diligently neglected to tell us. So my wine experience was sadly disappointing.

My wife had her own selection of wine and could try before she ordered. Nice.
- 2 x $15 glasses
- Crab salad
- Duck was awesome
- Lamb was medium rare but HARD to chew on.

It's a great place for wealthy people with limited knowledge on Traditional French cuisine but enjoy the Nouvelle cuisine. Overpriced for educated middle class people.

Where is the Foie Gras?

For $360 + tax and tip, not worth it.

There are far greater places for the money in the triangle now.

I have been longing after this place for 20 years now, the price went down since 2001, that's why I decided to try it.
It made us realize how great cooks my wife and I are and we finally found great Foie Gras, Quails and super fresh sea food in the area. Next time we want such great food, we will stay home and cook it ourselves with our friends for a fraction of the price along with a Margo or Chateau Laffite which we can also find for reasonable price in the area.
Nothing new in Nouvelle Cuisine...If you can cook quail, duck or any fancy meat, nothing beats 1950' Jehane Benoit Canadian Heritage...Seriously.

A gem out in the country so to speak. The service is phenomenal and the ambiance makes it a perfect “special occasion” venue. The crab salad was an explosion of flavor beyond compare. I had the shrimp for the second course and the scallops as my main dish and both were a bit too salty. (I am a coastal born and raised seafood veteran so salty seafood means a pinch too much salt was added post harvest.) The bread was outstanding, as well as the chef treats through our dining experience. We cannot wait to go back during cooler weather to check out another seasonal menu.

Destination dining. Special occasion. Be prepared to spend for a very elegant dining experience.

amazing food and service. you get more than the 4 courses and each one is carefully thought out, presented and tastes so delicious.

We experienced the Chef’s tasting menu and it was outstanding! The only other restaurant in this area that achieves the same high level of cuisine is Herons.

Expensive, but worth it! Attention to every last detail. Food was delicious and beautifully prepared! Service was exceptional!

The service staff are courteous and efficient. The attention to detail in the food is superb - the presentation is elegant and the flavors more than pleasing.

A very enjoyable evening. Food was delicious and served to perfection. Atmosphere was perfect. We will be back.

Excellent evening filled with delicious food! Always enjoy our experience at Fearrington House. The fresh food and food combinations were scrumptious!

Superior food and service
