What to say about 195? Strike three, and you're out!! This was my third attempt at 195 and by far the least enjoyable. To recap, the last trip was highlighted by the worse bloodymary in Moore County. It tasted like a mix of Zing Zang and dish soap. On to today's venture.Lunch on a Tuesday is apparently restock day. No prosecco, out of a Belgian triple, and the garlic Naan was unavailable. These things happen. Throw in the fact that it took 30 minutes to take our order, and we started to see a pattern.The arrival of our appetizer 10 minutes later was accented by having to ask for silverware. This was once we flagged down the waiter after he serviced another table. His response was predicted as he grabbed a set of silverware from an adjacent table, promptly placing it in front of us.Our main dishes arrived in a reasonable amount of time. As they arrived, we both noticed that the air temperature was beginning to get quite warm. By the end of our meal, my fiancée and I felt like we were both about to start sweating like we were in the middle of 5k. At the end of the day, it was an unfortunate experience that will not be suffered a 4th time.

This is the family's current favorite restaurant. The food is deliberately and artfully prepared and they have some really interesting and appetizing dishes. The kind of plates that I haven't experienced much in Moore county. It is very good for both lunch and dinner. Highly recommended.

Fives across the board, the menu is not extensive but it is broad enough to satisfy most palettes. But, whatever you choose, you can be assured that it will be at a minimum, very good. We have been several times and it is consistent. It is one of our go to restaurants in the area.

195 is our go to for date night as well as lunch. Their chef does an amazing job putting the menu together and I’ve never had a bad meal here. The Parmesan truffle fries are the best I’ve ever had & their southern fried chicken sandwich is my guilty pleasure. Don’t forget to save room for their homemade famous goat cheese cheesecakes! My personal favorite part about 195 is their bespoke cocktail menu. It’s hands down the best place to grab an incredibly crafted cocktail! No pre mix junk here. Only top shelf ingredient and liquors. Very creative and inventive without being too overtly complex. Neon Eyes is clutch—but I’ve tried other cocktails from their menu and every single one is libation perfection. Great for couples, friends and family! Couldn’t recommend this restaurant enough!

My initial review was 100% incorrect and I extend my apologies to the management and staff. The initial review was meant for "Cook Out".The staff at "195" was nothing but exceptional. We had a mini social gathering and was very well received. The food, atmosphere, and service was top notch. Great care was provided to make us feel welcome and appreciated.

The food is quite tasty. It is clear that the price of the food is inflated by the upscale atmosphere and description of each item. But in reality the atmosphere is pretty bland and boring. I am not and have never been a fan of the post modern design style. Always just strikes me as boring and unimaginative. The service staff was terrific and some of the best that I have experienced state side. The food was good. But at the prices charged I was expecting a lot more. The description of the food as American fusion strikes me as confusing. In reality it is just attempting to put a spin on simple dishes that are essentially true to their Indian or Asian roots. Definitely a cool place for a date, but if you were looking for a dining experience to match the price sadly I would say pass.

The service was outstanding. Tuna tacos were good as an appetizer, mahi as a main course was average, portobello ravioli way too rich and the added chicken was hyper salty. Short ribs were good. Overall, the meal was just average and definitely not worth the prices charged.
