Chef Warren's Bistro

Our first time here and it was absolutely outstanding! The environment was lively, the service was amazing and the meal, drinks, and dessert....seriously amazing! Best restaurant in Downtown southern pines

Upscale dining with a cozy feel. Exotic menu choices that are seasonal, there was kangaroo on the menu. The potato soup was the best I have ever eaten. Espresso martini had real espresso coffee, would go back to just have one of those.

Chef Warren's is our go-to spot for anything special our family celebrates. Great customer service, food and drinks, as always!

Food iis normally exceptional but this time was not. Shrimp was tough and some chicken under cooked. One person had an emergency before her food arrived and we were forced to pay for her mea and drink. Service was extremely slow and there were plenty of servers and not excessively busy on a Tuesday night. Very disappointing.

The hoppin' John and French onion soups were very good as was the spinach and beet salad. The shrimp entree and the kangaroo appetizer were a little lackluster. The kir Royale was superb.

My experience there was outstanding from beginning to end. The cocktails stood out as thoughtfully made, with creative combinations and perfect balance that set a high tone right away. The menu draws on international influences while emphasizing seasonal, quality ingredients, and the results speak for themselves. The kangaroo, wrapped in prosciutto, proved delightful. It was tender and subtly flavorful, offering a lean, distinctive taste that felt refined rather than overpowering. Certainly it was handled with clear expertise. The swordfish main course arrived cooked exactly right: moist and flaky inside, with spot-on seasoning and thoughtful accompaniments that brought everything together beautifully. Service matched the food in excellence. The staff proved attentive and knowledgeable, with a warmth that made the visit feel personal. They clearly aimed to exceed expectations, and they succeeded. Desserts provided a fitting close, rich and satisfying without excess. Since relocating to the Carolinas more than a year ago, I have not encountered a better meal. Chef Warren's impresses through meticulous execution, sincere hospitality, and consistent depth of flavor across cocktails, appetizers, entrees, and sweets. For anyone in the Southern Pines area, it deserves a visit. It stands among the region's finest.

We never have a bad meal here. I would encourage people to try everything on the menu. The food is unbelievable, and the service is impeccable. 

Absolutely delicious food and friendly staff. Would definitely come back. The duck and foie gras sausage and pecan pie were awesome.

My son has lived in NYC for the past 6 months and he ranked our exerience last week at Chef Warren's as high as any dining experience he had there so far. The whole family really enjoyed the food, service and ambience.

I had an exquisite meal here last week! I’m moving soon and this was the perfect place to share an evening with friends that I will long cherish. Kory created an amazing pistachio cheesecake. Our server Emily was attentive, warm and efficient. An evening at Chef Warrens will be a tradition for me when I return to the Pines to visit. A heartfelt thank you for not only for the incredible meal, but also for making me feel so celebrated.

A group of four of us ate at Chef Warren’s this weekend. The food was excellent as was the service. Our server, Marlene, was knowledgeable about the menu, was attentive to our needs, and provided a great experience overall. Can’t wait to go back!

This restaurant is phenomenal! The staff is so friendly and attentive. The food is amazing. Chef Warren stopped by our table to check on us as well. We told him we were visiting our daughter and son in law and we were from Boston. That led to a whole new conversation. When we told him our daughter just had her second child he called our waitress and told her to send us back to her house with a special treat - chocolate mousse desert. What a great dining experience!
