Wolcott's

We tried salmon on risotto, ceviche, lobster bisque, venison sausage w/gnocchi, shrimp diavolo, pommes fries w/3 dipping sauces, dark chocolate pot de creme, & tcarrot cake tiramisu. Every dish was superb, & decaf coffee was brewed for us in time for dessert. And before our meal, we were served exquisite biscuits w/fabulous soft pimento cheese butter. We also had cocktails, one in a glass that could spin (had a name with "spinning" in it) & Mount Olympus. Sophie, our server, was also superb, Sophie made our wonderful cocktails, too. The menu here is the same during all hours the restaurant is open, a major plus for those w/a flexible schedule who want to eat when the place is not as busy. A new favorite restaurant, worth the 2.5-hour round trip (from/to Raleigh).

We were impressed by the level of service we received. Sitting at the bar, we found the bartender to be attentive and personable . The food was wonderful! We ordered the Salmon over risotto and Gnocchi with sausage, both of which were flavorful and well-seasoned. The restaurant is small and quaint, with an atmosphere that might appeal more to an older generation. Nonetheless, I will definitely be back.

Southern Pines best restaurant. Their red wine steak and salmon were nothing short of amazing. The location is small, there really isn't a greeting location and the server's can be hit or miss, but their food is always special and makes up for any perceived shortcoming.

I have a lot to say about Wolcott’s, but most of it can be crystalized down into a few succinct words. Excellent food, professional friendly service, comfortable historic setting, good wine, the best company, one of the hight points of our journey. Of course the food was extraordinary, people had talked about it ever since we arrived in Southern Pines, a town that simply radiates a sense of Southern Charm and old world history and Wolcotts seems to quietly exemplify that character on its little side street. Not bragging. Not making a fuss. Just serving a refined lesson in what visiting Souther Pines is all about. I mean the essence. The Steak was perfect, the bone marrow was nothing short of a revelation, The word Savory does not begin describe it. You would think that at some point it would stop being savory and start being salty, but some kind of magic happens, some alchemy, like lead turning into gold and a new level is reached. That’s the bone marrow. Now I understand cannibals and Zombies. And I should bow my head for a moment and consider the Holy Fry, or as they call it, Pome Frittes. They came hiding beneath the bone marrow like the nest of a rare bird of prey, the whole plate like a wild delectable puzzle to be taken apart and explored a piece at a time. The Pomes were Honkin amazing! Every single one of them absolutely crispy perfection! They didn’t need salt, they were’t too salty, they were amazing. The waitress treated us like we were old friends and like she was happy and proud to be there. Like the menu was something special, like we were something special. This is what real professionals do. Staff who have mastered service as an art and understand it puts them on an equal footing with the world. Staff who are comfortable in their skin and make their guest comfortable at their tables. Walcott’s is a special place. It’s not a facade like so many places, it’s real right down to its foundations. And why do we come to places like this? With the dearest of friends, with kind family that we have not seen in so many years? Why do we choose Walcott’s for our final night n the South? To start new traditions. To create new deep family memories, new stories, new reasons to return.

Food and service was excellent, they have an attached enclosed patio area, screened in and wheelchair accessible. A delicious and delightful restaurant experience.

An amazing dining experience. The service was top notch and the food amazingly well prepared. I had the duck to eat and the 160 west sangria to drink. The duck practically melted in my mouth and was savory and perfectly prepared. The drink was sweet with the perfect amount of alcohol in it to be flavorful but not overpowering. I’ll definitely be back.

Great place to eat. Went here on a date with my wife and we had a blast. Waitress is personable and even a bit cheeky, food is excellent, atmosphere is quaint and romantic. Just a great spot.

Absolutely delightful dinner experience. They were great about writing down our reservation request as there had been a storm that knocked out everyone's internet in the area that afternoon. The food, drinks and service were all top notch. I cannot wait to eat here again!
