Four65 Woodfire Bistro + Bar

We made a special trip to Highlands after missing out on this restaurant during our last stay at Old Edwards as it doesn’t take reservations. Luckily, we’re seated immediately. Service was friendly and prompt and the salad and pizza were good but not remarkable. However, our experience was let down by 2 factors: (1) an uncomfortably cold dining room where the blower was running at full force on an already cool night. Our server said they were not allowed to adjust the temperature but did persuade the manager to turn the aircon off for some minutes (2) a very loud next table where a couple and their grown son spoke loudly amongst themselves and with the server. It felt like we were in a Sports Bar. The dad apologized to us on their way out, indicating both they and the staff were aware they were being disrespectful to other diners. If they are regulars, the restaurant should seat them apart from others to preserve the dining atmosphere. Disappointing experience overall, especially for Highlands.

Really enjoyed this restaurant. We stopped in around 4 on a weekday in October. Perfect weather. We ordered the MeatLover Pizza and it was excellent. Also ordered the Caesar salad and it was outstanding. Great service, nice atmosphere. Highly recommend.

The food and staff are all five stars . I highly recommend the grilled cheese , butternut squash and bacon pizza and the blackened chicken pizza with hot honey drizzle ! I’ve been here more times than I can count and have never had a bad meal . Thank you Kanisha for the amazing service , we appreciate you ❤️

Delicious pizzas and great experience. We were told 20-30 min wait but it was only about 10 minutes before we were seated. We got the meat lovers and blackened chicken pizza (my favorite), as well as gelato and affogato for dessert - all fantastic! Our celiac kiddo had the gluten free crust, it tasted great with a nice crispy edge, although it wasn't her favorite gf pizza crust ever. Highly recommend!

Great experience all around! The customer service was excellent — our server, Kanisha, was amazing with recommendations and drinks. The food was delicious, everything came out perfect, and the overall atmosphere was great. You can tell they really care about their guests. We’ll definitely be back!

Our server, Bailey, was amazing. So sweet and would recommend!! She recommended an amazing charcuterie board paired with Processo. Our pizza was also out of this world.

Delicious pizza, nice atmosphere and excellent service. Nice place to sit and have lunch in the middle of town. We had the pizza this visit but will be back to try other items. Everything looked wonderful.

Wonderful!!! Delicious food , fantastic service and a beautiful welcoming restaurant. Great menu, everything we tried was sooooo good. Food for sharing for sure. Great pizza, cheese boards, huge salads to share. Our server, Markon was great attentive polite and gracious. Very inexpensively Priced for the Highlands area. Great food great service exactly with Highlands needed. Give it a try you won’t regret it.

Located in downtown Highlands,NC, this bistro has the best woodfire pizza! We were out that way looking at waterfalls when we stumbled on this adorable town. This place is very nice inside. Honestly, I was a little worried there might be a dress code from the way it looked when we walked in. Glad I was wrong because not only was the pizza chef's kiss quality, but our server, Will, was amazing! Checked in often and made sure drinks were filled even when he was incredibly busy. We felt super comfortable as the place was incredibly relaxed.

Our recent visit to Four65 was a delightful experience, especially with their antipasti for two. The presentation was beautiful, with a well-curated selection that showcased a range of flavors and textures. From fresh cheeses and charcuterie to marinated vegetables and flavorful olives, each bite brought something unique. The portions were generous and perfect for sharing, making it an ideal way to start the meal. The ambiance at Four65 added to the charm, providing a cozy yet refined setting that felt perfect for Highlands. Definitely a spot worth revisiting for anyone who loves quality small plates and a warm atmosphere!

Went for a relaxed dinner and this totally hit the spot, nice but casual and comfortable while having good ambiance and great service. The Drunken Mussels and Prosciutto Pizza make me want to explore the rest of the menu as well!

Four65 is a charming bistro offering Italian options like wood-fired pizza, meatball subs, and pasta. We were especially impressed with the grilled cheese with truffle aioli and root vegetable soup. The outdoor patio is delightful in the summer.

Wonderful experience, Lisa was the best waitress! Awesome greek salad for $8 and wonderful pizzas! The mussels are a must!!

Overall: A solid upscale pizza option for the area. The good: Fast, friendly and attentive service, even though we were seated outside. It was quite crowded and was an hour wait to eat inside, but luckily no wait for outside. Plenty of pizza options to choose from. The dough was chewy and the crust was charred and flaky, which is just what you want. The not-so-good: The pizza was good, but not great, and the price didn't reflect that expectation. Needed a little more sauce and toppings. Outside didn't have enough heat lamps, but luckily we had blankets thanks to our baby. Food/drink: 8/10 Atmosphere: 8.5/10 Service: 9/10

Wonderful late lunch on the patio at Four65! We started with cocktails and the Artichoke dip. I loved my Mountain Margarita (with muddled blackberries). My husband didn't love his Kentucky Fig... the bourbon flavor was lacking. The Artichoke dip was FABULOUS and you must have it! My son wanted a more traditional pizza so our server suggested a Margherita with extra cheese and he gobbled it up! We shared the Burata Strawberry salad and it was delicious. Service was kind and knowledgeable but a bit slow. Regardless it was a wonderful meal and we'll be back for sure!

This place is beautifully placed in this small town with a great homey and local feel inside. We had to wait since we came at dinner time and the area was busy for this time of year. It didn't bother us because we got a chance to walk around the town before our table was ready. I had a strawberry lemonade that was really delicious and I had to have a second. The pizzas are amazing and freshly made. I had their white pizza which amazing and we got to enjoy the inside and people watch, one of our favorite things to do. Service was great, kept our drinks filled and our stomachs happy.

Last year, a stranger recommended this place to me. I kept my promise and came! It did not disappoint! Dress code: smart casual My husband and I split everything. We ordered the Marinara pizza, it has no cheese, with basil and garlic. We decided to add mushrooms to it. It was very good. The tomatoes are the star of this pizza, the San marzano tomato sauce 10/10. The mushrooms lended an earthy taste that paired perfectly with the charred bits of the pizza. The side salad was great! Though since we were splitting everything I think next time we will order the "large" salad and save our selves $4 for the price difference. The ovened salad was great, while still maintaining the crisp and not wilted. The "over the top" for my husband was the addition of hot oil on the pizza he asked for a little side so he could drizzle on the pizza. Service was easy, we put our name for the wait list (30m) and was texted when our table was ready, and our waitress was kind.

Clean and nice interior. Staff friendly. Warm Ceasar salad was excellent. Pizza made in special pizza ovens Neapolitan style thin crust. Crust was excellent and charred. Ingredients all fresh. Middle of crust slightly soggy. Had dessert of ala mode warm apple crisp which was excellent.

Our favorite spot in Highlands. Incredible pizza, and you must try the soup. The food is always spot on, the drinks are great, service is wonderful, and the ambiance is perfect. There's a big TV at the bar if you want to watch the game, too.

Stopped in for lunch with a girlfriend before heading to an aerial park for some ziplining! The restaurant was nice to accommodate our desire to sit inside after first being introduced to an unideal two-top table outside. Al fresco seating is available but dining inside offers a bright and welcoming ambiance. I enjoyed a glass of the rose wine and we started with the artichoke dip, which I found to be a little too watery and the breadsticks lacked flavor. My friend had and LOVED the Cherrywood Farm Greek Salad. I ordered a margherita pizza which was delicious! The only aspect of it that I didn't love was that it was a little burnt on the bottom. I realize that is common of woodfired pizza so it's of no consequence. Four65 offers decent food at fair prices, so it's worth stopping by if you're in the area and in the mood for some pizza!

On our last day in the area, we decided to go a little upscale. We arrived at 6:45 and waited about 30 minutes for a table. But oh, it was worth it!!! We sat outside on the patio in an area that resembles an Italian cafe. Although the service staff was great, it seems as if they were understaffed, with multiple staff members serving our table and a long wait to receive our drinks. In terms of food and drink, it doesn't get much better. I ordered the mountain marg which had a nice berry note. The antipasto had a solid variety of munchies, but the bread options seemed a bit stale. The Hot Pig was so worth branching out from our normal order. The jalapeños added so much solid flavor and heat that cut through the cheese. I know we will be back the next time in town.

This is some of the best pizza I've ever had, and not, just in NC! I'd be happy being served these pies in NYC. Crust is outstanding - hand tossed but very thin, as it should be. Both red and white sauces are excellent. I've had the meatball and ricotta pie twice, and the fungi pie with arugula once, and both were excellent! Salads are great too (I'm partial to the Cesar but all sound great) and the small size is easily enough for two. This is hands down my go to spot in the Highlands!

Great food and great service with a really cool ambience! The pizza is amazing and the Greek salad is the best I've ever had.

Yummmm. Brussels and Bacon pizza. Perfect for 2-3 people. Delicate crust, perfectly charred. Fresh toppings. Delish.

Open to the public I called to check ( I say this because on google search it was confusing. It said members and hotel guest only. Not sure what that was about, having never been to Highlands before) Fun atmosphere! We were sat right away however we did eat early dinner at 5:15 pm. I got the wine flight brought out on a nice wooden holder. The pizzas are definitely big enough for two people. We ordered two so we would have leftovers for lunch the next day. The Margarita and the Meat lovers and added the peppadew peppers to half. They were so good on the pizza!! A sweet slight heat flavor. I asked for extra marinara sauce to dip the crust in. Yum! The crust was thin and think on the edges. So yummy! We will definitely be back

Located on the property of the Old Edwards Inn this Bistro Bar has such a charming ambiance! The salads were fresh and crisp. The pizza crust is in my top 3 favorites ever!! Yum!

Highly recommend, everything in the menu...especially the Hot Pig. Little bit of heat, little bit of sweet. So yummy!

We got here at 5:30p and had no trouble getting a table on a Saturday night. But it started getting busy shortly after. We had the Farm House Greek Salad-small and split it between the two of us. Plenty to share. The peppadews made the salad extra special. We ordered the margarita pizza and added pepperoni. We wouldn't do that again. The slices were large and made the pizza greasy. Keep it as it comes for the best experience. Service was fast and friendly. We Loved the vibe here. And the bottles of water left on your table to pour as needed was a nice touch.

I do it to myself every time I come here...over order! I like so many things on the menu, and I never wanna leave without having pizza. The decor inside and outside is super cute and in the summertime the patio seating is excellent. Not pictured, but the anti-pasta for two is enough for four as an appetizer and it has a ton of yummy. It's on it!

We were out visiting a wedding venue and stopped for pizza. It was pretty good, they got the order wrong and fixed it right away and very appropriately. The meat on the brussel sprout option seemed a bit undercooked but there were no I'll effects. I think our favorite was the mushroom. We didn't like the pizza slice shaped plates at all, they felt crampe

We've visited twice and had the most amazing food both times. Loved the smoked shrimp cocktail, build-your-own charcuterie board, and perfect pizzas!

We ordered two pizzas (takeout). Pizza was excellent. Thin and crispy. The only downside is they limit topping additions (no changes). Highly recommend!

What a great place! Freda gave us excellent service, including some great suggestions. The food was great, we had the antipasti for 2, burrata salad and the mussels. We both agreed we could have drunk the mussel broth straight it was so good.

If all we did was eat here, it would still be a wonderful experience--we found the pork meatballs and wood-fired vegetable soup particularly stellar. But our circumstances were unique: we found ourselves dining at this Four65 in the middle of a family emergency. The staff was BEYOND caring and patient with us as we figured out what to do, ate in shifts and ordered to-go for those of us who had to depart early. In addition, the manager and servers went above and beyond to follow up on our well-being and assist as they were able. Our emergency turned out okay, but these folks were really there for us when we weren't sure it would. We left the restaurant not just pleased with the food but impressed with and affected by everyone's hospitality. Go to support the hearty cooking, but also to support those who were so supportive of these troubled out-of-towners!

We were in downtown Highlands on a cold, drizzly, January day. There wasn't much to do so we decided to do some shopping. The men in our group really wanted to watch football and a local shop owner recommended Four65 Woodfire Bistro Bar because it had good food and a bar where the guys could watch football while the women shopped. (The plan was for everyone to meet up after a few hours and have lunch together.) The place is decorated in a really cute way with a beautiful bar, quaint tables, and lovely lighting accents. The menu features a selection of appetizers, salads, sandwiches, and wood-fired pizzas. There was also a full bar and a really friendly bartender. My husband ordered a soup/sandwich combo with the wood-fired root vegetable soup and a cast-iron hot Italian sandwich. He thought the soup was spicy and delicious and the sandwich was good with fresh bread that was chewy, yet crispy on the outside . My daughter had the small Cherrywood Farm Greek salad. She said it was just o.k., kind of boring. I ordered the Mountain Fungi pizza. I really, really loved the crust! There were lots of yummy mushrooms, and the pizza was also topped with arugula. I really enjoyed it and it was definitely big enough for 2. My mom and my sister ordered the Bacon and Brussel Sprouts pizza and the garlic breadsticks. Their pizza was drizzled with aioli and the bacon was more like a thinly sliced ham, (pancetta.). It was good, but none of us really loved it....it was definitely unique with strange ingredient pairing so we had to give it a try. The breadsticks were delicious! The dough had the same flavor as the pizza crust and it came with a marinara sauce for dipping. Everyone loved it! Overall we enjoyed hanging out at Four65. The service was very good and the ambience was amazing! We liked most of our food selections, and there are plenty more options on the menu for us to try next time. (And we're definitely getting the breadsticks again!)

During a recent visit to Highlands, my wife and I were rained out of a hike and decided to go into town to have an early dinner and drinks. We decided on pizza and went to Four65 Woodfire Bistro. Four65 is a semi casual pizza restaurant in the Old Edwards Inn. It has a very nice ambience. I have a gluten intolerance and they offer gluten-free pizza, which is one of the reasons we decided to go there and it was one of the best gluten-free pies I've ever had, hands-down. The portion sizes were generous. The food was great and the service was exceptional. They have a great wine list and full bar and cocktail menu as well. We would definitely go back again. Next time we are in the area.

I love, love, loveeeee Four65! It's the one place I *have* to go when we are in Highlands! The menu has lots of options, and everything always looks so yummy! My personal favs are the Green Salad and a pizza (always, pizza. I've had a couple different ones, and they are all delicious!). Bonus: I have a garlic allergy, and the fact that they make their red sauce without garlic just can't be beat for me. Service is great; refilled our drinks quickly and were on top of things. It's a super cute ambiance; more on the fancy end of the spectrum, as far as pizza places go. 5/5 stars!

I definitely recommend this place. We have been coming here since it opened and it never disappoints. Kids love the polpette (meatballs) and I highly recommend the margarita pizza with pepadew peppers and the grilled Caesar salad. They don't take reservations which is great because we have never had an issue getting a table. Service is quick and the open kitchen environment is fast paced and not too formal.

We had the Prosciutto Pizza and the Grilled Cheese with Chili, both were very good. I do wish they allowed reservations since it can get pretty busy; we were originally given a pretty long wait time, but were able to group up with another couple to split a larger table. We also wished the stools had backs on them because it was a little tough on our backs without one. But overall, we had a good experience and would recommend it!

I decided to take shelter from the rain and the vibe was immaculate! However, the pizza was subpar. The sauce was so watery it was dripping off the cardboard thin crust and onto my pants. Do not eat pizza here! The soup was bomb.com and really saved the day though.

Lisa, our waitress, recommended a large Cesar for two of us.. It was huge Our veggie pizza was undercooked.. paper thin..very, few, tiny veggies We had two 8 year old girls and the waitress said that their cheese pizzas were small. We ordered two and they were also huge We ate the cheese pizza because our veggie pizza was so bad. Cookie dessert was scalding hot and our waitress Lisa said nothing.. Both kids burned their hands and not in a fun way..

This place is fantastic from top to bottom. Nice beer selection including many local brews. Service was timely and pleasant. Pizza was great, flour and sauce all fresh from Italy. Baked 90 seconds at 905 degrees. Delicious. Meatball sub was also great, pork meatballs provolone cheese and San Mariano sauce

We came here for dinner and got one of the last tables. Anywhere in Highlands, you may want to call ahead for reservations. We got the Meats pizza, a hot tea, and the lemoncello crumble cake for dessert. The pizza was meh.... but you know what they say about pizza..... The pizza was black and burnt in some places so I had to tear those places off the crust. The pizza ($20) was supposedly woodfired, so that may be why. It was very thin with just a little sauce, a little cheese, and a little bit of toppings. My hot tea was really cute served in pottery and I really enjoyed it. The dessert was so so. The berries were really good and it was attractive when served, but the cake itself tasted like it had been made several days before. It didn't taste very lemony. Our total bill was around $40. Our waitress was nice and the atmosphere was really pretty. It's an ok place if you just want to get something to eat but don't really care what.

All of it Divine! Clean vibrant atmosphere... ovens are just rad... highlands has raised the bar in "hip" with creation and success of @Four65 ... keep up the great customer service!! Highly recommend

Napoletana Pizza was amazing! We had this with a Caesar salad and it was a great lunch. Would recommend.

We were looking forward to eating here but the waitress served water and disappeared. It was late afternoon and the menu looked fabulous. Ally would have received a nice tip if she would have come back to take our order. We went elsewhere.

This place is unexpected. It's so pretty inside and the pizza was delish!!! Would definitely return!

We visited Highlands for the day on Father's Day and stopped in for lunch. The servers were nice and knowledgeable and the pizza was fantastic. If you order a salad (even a small one) it is big enough for two people. Highly recommend it if you are in the area. We will go back there soon.

We had some amazing lunches at Four65 in downtown Highlands, next to Old Edward's Inn. Both times our wait staff, Will & Donald, were welcoming, attentive & made you feel like they were glad to see you (& that they were happy to be there!), which (sad to say) is not always our experience at restaurants these days, realizing how hard it is to find enough really good staff. The food was amazing. The mussels (& focaccia bread), soup (& bread) & wonderful pizzas were to die for. We had to go back. Did I mention how great the bread & olive oil was?!? Everything was perfect, including the beautiful unique ceramic dish ware they use. (Please don't ever change!) The craft cocktails were awesome. On the way out we noticed their food inspection rating was 100 --- and it showed! When every staff member takes great pride in every aspect of food, drink & service, well, that's how you deliver a delightful dining experience to your guests! Can't wait til the next time!

If you like to sit at a bar, watch sports AND have good food- this is the spot! The bartenders are always great and make the craziest craft cocktails! Good pizza. Great salads. Always consistent and no reservations needed.

We were visiting Highlands, NC during December which is off season for a long weekend. We stayed at Old Edwards Inn with our two year old son. We wanted something that was close and not to fancy for a toddler to enjoy. This was perfect. This was fancy, yet not over the top to bring a toddler on a cold drizzling wet day. We had a pizza, and it was perfect. The wood fire pizza crust was delicious! The best pizza I have had in a long time. It was just a simple mozzarella and pepperoni pizza. It was fresh, and cooked perfectly. The service was friendly, knowledgeable and helpful. They had lots of beers on tap. They had a great wine selection.

This is our second or third time to this restaurant while visiting Highlands. I wanted to try it a few times to make sure what I was eating each time was consistent. And it is! What a great little place. They have a pretty interesting menu when it comes to types of food. But the food you get is absolute flavortown! Do not miss this stop while in town. We have had salads, wood fire pizza and grilled cheese sammies. Each was spectacular and full of great flavor. The last visit, we enjoyed the artichoke, plum and arugula pizza. I know, I know...that's not a "real" pizza. But let me tell you, this was a real deal pizza just exploding with taste and originality. YUM! Just try it. The pizzas are all one size. Roughly a 14" pie. We coupled this pizza with the Greek salad and their "root" soup. The full salad is big enough to split if your having other food. I could eat that salad all day. So good. They add a side of their baked bread with that salad. We always order more of the bread because it is fresh and delish. The root soup is full of veggies and an undeniable flavor. This is truly a favorite of mine. The last item was a thick grilled cheese. A straight The atmosphere is really cozy. It's kind of a smaller space, so keep that in mind if you've got a larger group. The service each time we've been there has been friendly and attentive. Worth the stop.

My husband and I are visiting Highland, NC and for dinner we stopped by Four65. There was about a 30-40 minute wait but it was worth it. We drove around and then waited in our car until they texted us that our table was ready. When we walked in I was very impressed by the decor. There was a tree in the middle of the restaurant!! So charming! We weren't sure what type of menu to expect, but we quickly learned that they serve pizza!!! I was a little nervous because I have a gluten allergy but thankfully they had gluten free options available! When my pizza arrived, it was placed on this cute little stand. I was very excited!! And I was pleasantly surprised that this gluten free pizza was SO delicious!!! Probably the BEST Gluten Free pizza I've had to date!! I fell in love with the triangle plates to use for my pizza! The staff was very friendly, greeted us with smiles and they were very helpful!! I would definitely recommend this restaurant and I would eat here again!

The burrata salad and the meatball / ricotta pizza are the absolute best. Always consistent and delicious. Lovely atmosphere - ate outside on the patio this time. Waitress was awesome! Best drink on the menu - northern lights!

1. Amazing bartender Cody. Sat at the bar and he was so great, so fun to watch make all the drinks, hard working and funny! 2. Amazing food. Everything was SO GOOOOD. Get the artichoke dip for sure. 3. Amazing people watching. Seriously if you're in town go here for amazing food and drinks in a stunning space! Can't wait to come back!!

5 star service, worst pizza in the area. First of all this is NOT a sports bar as told to us by the hotel. There are 2 tvs and one is blocked by a giant chandelier. I didn't think you could mess up spinach artichoke dip, but I was wrong. Ours contained a glob of frozen spinach that was even thawed. This was followed by a marinara pizza that was undercooked and soggy. For 4 people to have no interest in finishing a pizza, tells you how bad it was. On the good side, the small Greek salad was delicious and the server was fun and engaging.

You only find wood fired pizza this good in Europe....and Highlands. We had a great dining experience at Four65 with terrific service and outstanding food. Highly recommended.
