This review is for the Granary which does not seem to have it's own review page. We eat here at least once a week as we have a second home in Fearrington. So we have tried just about everything on the menu. I have to say it's excellent creative casual dining and the people and service are pretty much off the charts. It's North Carolina Rural meets Parisian Bistro and it works. It's a very comfortable place to eat. Initially we just had the local craft beers with meals, but recently we tried a few of the cocktails, and they are pretty good and extremely creative. We have never had anything on the menu that was regret worthy, and just about everything is better here even when it sounds like a classic like Fried Calamari. They manage to add a little something that makes it better than anywhere else. Our favorites are the Lobster Sausage Risotto, which is really serious business, and the trio of burger sliders or Bedford Burger. The Sunday Brunch is a treat.

My husband made reservations for our date night and we were very excited to visit this very popular restaurant. Let me start with the positive: our food was delicious! Everything about our dinner was divine. Here is the negative. The big negative. Our service was, well, beyond disappointing. Our server was the bartender and he didn't know the specials or the menu. We sat for close to ten minutes, waiting for him to even come to take our drink orders while he casually chatted right next to us to an older couple. They weren't discussing food or the service but how Nate the bartender lived or knew someone who lived in California. This happened several times. He didn't check to see how our food arrived. Oh wait, he did, after I ate it. My drink glass remained empty half the time, as did my husbands. The host was more helpful and I wish we could have tipped him. We had to seek out the host for our check and even then, Nate didn't bother to finish his service with us. Next time we will request to be seated not in that section.

expensive? sure. worth it? totally. probably the best restaurant in the state. inventive cuisine with farm-fresh ingredients. creative dishes and fantastic flavors portion sizes are exactly right--not too much. service is almost obscenely good. comfortable, relaxing space--you feel like the only ones in the room.

the culinary destination of the triangle. chef bedford has transformed the already-storied fearrington house restaurant from an excellent special occasion meal to a truly defining food experience. it's worth every mile travelled and penny spent to dine here. the quality of the food is matched wonderfully by the wine selection and service as well.

Awesome food. Expensive. Great for special occasions.
