Good for special occasions
Charming
Neighbourhood gem

Neighborhood French-inspired bistro featuring an ever-changing French-Fusion menu that keeps you coming back to try the things you didn’t have room for.
Marianne’s organic garden helps supply Warren’s kitchen with his beloved fresh produce & both are actively involved in the local food movement.
The ambiance is fusion as well - bistro style rather than “fine dining” - that is at once classic French and comfortable with an open kitchen so foodies can watch the work in progress. Art work is a mix of Mucha prints and Warren’s photography. Music is quirky.
Nightly wine by the glass specials, carefully curated wine list and a delightful cocktail menu round out drinks offerings.
Neither high chairs nor booster seats are available.
Reservations are for a two hour time period.
Classic Parisian style sidewalk seating available.
Warren and his wife Marianne have spent the last twenty-five years delighting diners with their worldly cuisine & genuine hospitality.

It was nice, but the food just wasn’t as memorable as in the past years. Service was excellent and still a beautiful place.

The entrees were excellent. Schnitzel was moist and flavorful, with the mac and cheese, it was very filling. Char special was very tasty. The warm pecan pie for dessert was sooo good. We had a Cotes du Rhone that was very good, as well. We were disappointed with the lobster rangoon, however. While very crispy, it lacked lobster flavor in the cream. There are several intriguing appetizers on the menu that we do want to try. This was our first visit to Chef Warren's and we will return. The staff was very friendly and attentive. They spent time with us, answering questions about the menu and food preparation, as well as friendly conversation. I highly recommend Chef Warren's.

Always excellent. Menu changes constantly with some items constant. Personalized service from Warren and Marianne. By far the best food in Moore County. And the most fun. We like to sit at the bar and watch the food prepared.

If considering this restaurant, I would take a pass and look at other options. Food was not as to be expected. French onion soup while hot on top (cheese) the soup itself was warm. Fish was over done and salty, hanger steak was fine but the French fries and gravy all turned to mush. Pecan pie that supposedly famous for had a good butter crust but the pie it self was very average. Service staff was lovely.

Food was excellent. Everyone loved what they ordered including dessert. Service not so much. Our appetizer never came, slow getting drink refills. Owner was rude when we commented.
