Pine Crest Inn & Restaurant

Fantastic atmosphere!

This is only for the bar (although I have stayed here multiple times & eaten @ resturant even more - - all positive experiences).  We made the short 1 hour drive to Pinehurst last night for dinner.  So awesome.  Stopped @ Pinecrest for a pre-dinner drink.  The bar was not crowded and service was friendly & fast.  The cocktails were strong and inexpensive.  Carl is the man.  I love it here - - - come serveral times a year and always question why I don't go more often!  Will have to change that in 2013.  Highly recommend stopping in for a drink, a bite to eat or an overnight. Best place in town!!

Terrible Christmas dinner. Alfredo was a tasteless bland soup of yuck. Had to load with salt and pepper to choke down. Shrimp was good though; all 3 pieces. Peach cobbler replaced with apple. Terrible mess. Strawberry crape when tiny and not tasty. Pecan pie was good. Hard to believe this is a premium place.
