Hey all,
I'm not from the area but for valentines day I was going to take my girlfriend to the zoo in Asheboro and I'm looking for a restaurant for afterwards. For restaurant I'm looking for something really nice as in formal dining. The girlfriend loves to wear dresses so I'd like to give her the opportunity to do so. I'm willing to probably drive anywhere up to an hour and a half from asheboro. Pretty open to all types of food. Any help would be greatly appreciated thank you!
Chapel Hill is about an hour and 15 minutes from Asheboro and has some good formal dining choices. The top choice would be Bonne Soiree, but Lantern, Elaine's, and Bin 54 (steakhouse) also fit the bill. In Carrboro, Glashalfull is a good choice as well.
I'll second Fearrington Inn between Chapel Hill and Pittsboro. Get a room at the inn, change after your trip to the zoo, and have dinner. Great place if your prepared to drop some coin (looks like they have a 7 course dinner for $95 on valentines day).
I've never been impressed with the food at Fearrington Inn. I'd try another place, maybe 411 West on Franklin Street in Chapel Hill or Il Palio at the Siena Hotel in Chapel Hill.
