Leatherflower

Dinner dining that rises to the exquisite setting. We were really looking forward to dinner during our stay at Primland because the menu looked so appealing. A little something for everyone, but lots of local character reimagined. The space itself is luxious and cozy, but still felt open sitting by the huge windows overlooking the golf course. Amazing artwork. Our server was amazing with wine suggestions and even did a small tasting between the top two which really helped me decide. Servings are manageable sizes so you don't have to worry with leftovers. The carbonara and sea bass entrees were so good, but our favorite of the night was the coconut cake with corn creme. Mind blowing. We also stopped in for breakfast, which was good, but really highlighted how special dinner is here. Worth the drive if you're not staying on site!

I visited Leatherflower for breakfast and dinner during my stay at Primland, and this is no standard hotel restaurant where you have to make a tradeoff in quality for convenience. The service is also excellent, with Dustin being the MVP at Primland across the board. I selected the eggs benedict for breakfast because I was intrigued by their variation, including cornbread and country ham. It was well-balanced from a flavor perspective and perfectly cooked. My dinner experience was undoubtedly one of the highlights of my stay at Primland. Dustin was willing to entertain my unique approach of ordering small plates and a dessert rather than a full meal. I ordered smoked trout hushpuppies, NC oysters, and quail with purple sweet potatoes and greens. All were excellent dishes, and I struggled to recommend one of the three as a "must-try." Order all three!
