I'll be visiting again for the perfect start to the day. Nice to have a local cafe within walking distance from Williams park.“

“Rick was the most amazing bartender I’ve ever had. The word “amazing” doesn’t even serve it justice. The selection of liquor here is absolutely insane. We had a Smith and Cross custom cocktail alongside a craft cocktail off their house menu and both were phenomenal. We ended our night with an ultra rare bottle of Del Maguey Pechora Mezcal and it brought a tear to my eye. We were here for one night out of the whole year and this place absolutely solidified to us that it’s the best bar in the area, with the best bartender to host the occasion. If I could give it ten stars! Phenomenal bar!“

I have not had service like her like she was on point the entire night when you go there I fully recommend her pass that point if you don’t, you won’t appreciate the real service you could be .“

The oysters and cocktails were perfect, and instantly lifted the mood. The Vinoy is a wonderfully romantic setting, and the bar staff was so sweet and accommodating taking a picture when I asked. Highly recommend for any date night.Just wanted to say thank you to the bar staff. Y’all are phenomenal! ❤️“

“Asian Fusion with a Touch of Italian Green Pagoda has a pleasant atmosphere. They could do better quality control on making sure the plates are clean. Our server was pleasant and helpful with the menu. But after he took our order we didn’t see him again until we were done and asked for the check. (Someone else delivered the food.) So, he never checked to see if our food was OK or to refill water. As for the food, it was pretty good overall. We started with very nice coconut soup (basically a Thai tom kha), if slightly too sweet. The pork dumplings were very good. The ginger chicken entrée had nice flavor, but the chicken pieces were a little tough. The server highly recommended the snapper risotto, which seemed an odd choice for an Asian restaurant. Nevertheless, the snapper was a generous piece and nicely cooked. The sauce on it was delicious. The risotto, however, was on the gummy side when it should have had a silky texture. I would go to Green Pagoda again and try the whole fish and some sushi.“

“Me and my partner own the Royal Tot tiki bar in Charlotte. The menu is a little Gin heavy for a Tiki bar. We tasted 9 drinks from the menu but there is a wide variety. Some we liked, some weren't our jam but all of them were mixed well. Good bartenders (Cuba and another bartender that knew what she was doing), heavy pours, great DJ, great vibe, cool spot. Wish the second level was open but we came in Sunday to Monday late night. Great spot, great crowd. Will definitely come again the next time we are here. We know what goes into it. Keep up the great work!“

From the moment we arrived, we were greeted with professional and attentive staff who were aware of his birthday. We were seated immediately in the bar area which was vibrant and bustling. Our server was extremely professional and knowledgeable about the entire menu. The wine list is expansive. We enjoyed the tuna tarter and crab cake appetizer ( both were amazing). We ordered the dry aged ribeye for our entree which was prepared to perfection. We were extremely satisfied with our experience and look forward to dining there again soon. A definite must!“

“I had the absolute pleasure of being helped by Lara today and I can confidently say she is the perfect reason to keep coming back. She’s honest, personable, and goes above and beyond to make sure you’re taken care of. When I asked about the menu, she didn’t just give a generic answer she gave me real, helpful insight with a friendly sense of humor that made the experience feel personal. Lara was upfront about the options. She made me feel welcomed, valued, and like I was chatting with a good friend rather than just a staff member.
If every company had someone like Lara being kind, knowledgeable, and genuinely caring customer service everywhere would be 5 stars. She’s a true asset and the gold standard for hospitality.“
