Last time my father was in town, we went to the Fearrington House. It was, as always, truly awesome. WE'd been thir twice before, for anniversaries. We go to their far-less-fancy restaurant semi-frequently, and went there for Wife's birthday earlier this month. We've been to a few of their summertime Saturday evening concerts for beers.
The Fearrington Village complex may actually be the closest place for us to eat (besides the Grill n Go). I think it's 5 miles from our house.
We’ve eaten at the California entry.
But as I’ve said before:
“in order to truly appreciate this kind of cuisine one needs to have some talented taste buds.” Alas, my taste buds are decidedly untalented.
So did it live up to the billing?
it’s fantastic. the food is super high-end, assembled with tweezers and full of surprising flavor combinations. the service is great and the wine list is … 20 pages? huge.
but it’s way too expensive for more than one visit a year, if that.
