Food was super yummy! Had small plates and shared cocktails were superb!! Wait staff attentive and friendly. Very small place so get reservations or expect to wait. A tad

I picked up my mom from CLT and I wanted a quaint little farm to table place... This was absolutely perfect. We sat outside in the back. They have a very unique decor inside and fun patio/outdoor entertainment area.The food and drinks were incredible.My mom got the seasonal dumplings 6 total, 3 of each type with a blonde local beer. Delicious!I got the seasonal winter gnocchi in a light sauce with the duck which is probably the best gnocchi I've ever had. Then, got the black pepper butter cream cake and it was good but more dense than expected. The most recommended and popular desert is the sticky toffee cake though.Parking: Parking is street parking.Wheelchair accessibility: They have a ramp to enter the restaurant.

"Idle Hands" is the best cocktail I've had in a while. Food was good & service was great.The ramen was really good I'd definitely order that again. The Tiger Shrimp pasta was pretty good, but I feel like there's probably better options to pick from. Overall, we would definitely come back. So many interesting things on the menu. We'd like to try more of them. Love that it's farm to table/local/fresh.

Everything about this place is 5 stars! Great service, great food & very accommodating! I’m vegan and the chef had NO problem making me the best vegan meal I’ve ever had. If you haven’t been to The Bottle Tree you are missing out!

Great outdoor area in the summer months. Live music and a food truck with outdoor bar.

Was very excited going into this place for the reviews, but found it very underwhelming. Food had decent flavor, but portions were small. The duration of the meal was exactly 3 hours despite not being that packed. Had higher hopes for this place and would probably opt for a lot of other places before trying again. Came here for Charlotte Restaurant Week, so would be interested in trying their regular menu.

Tried The Bottle Tree for restaurant week. Great food, good service. They probably over booked as we waited 45 minutes past reservation to be seated. However, we will definitely return!

We always love The Bottle Tree. It's very small inside but it's quaint. We love their little bar! The food is just fabulous. It's such a good experience.
I only had one restaurant I wanted to visit while I was in Charlotte and it was the Bottle Tree. I came in right at opening during brunch and immediately I knew I made the right choice. There was no wait and I was sat at a comfortable table by the window. I also had the option to sit in a heated tent. I ended up ordering the chicken schnitzel hash and the Vietnamese coffee. Everything was delicious! I usually have leftovers but I ate every bite! I could tell the ingredients were high quality because I didnt even feel bloated afterwards. The service was so incredibly friendly and attentive too! Next time I'm in town, I'm absolutely coming back!Parking: There is some free street parking in front of the restaurant or off of the main road a block away.

Excellent food. Generally good service. Slightly high prices weekdays. Excellent pricing for Sunday brunch.Only down: loud music Pumped throughout the restaurant, a facility that also contends with a lot of ambient customer noise when crowded.Last night was the first occasion we have had of bad service: water glasses were generally empty and a request to warm a cake type dessert was refused. ' very atypical for this restaurant.4 stars minus

This is my second time at Bottle Tree and it did not disappoint! There is a moody atmosphere this time around, with dimmer lights which brings a cozy atmosphere. The staff there are extremely sweet and always answer all of our questions and concerns. Our server did an excellent job on informing us of their seasonal menu change. My friends and I came during Restaurant Week and were told that their dinner portions were even more abundant. We were an awed with the presentation, taste, and abundance of food. I got their drunken dumplings and it was delicious with their ponzu sauce. My only complaint was the texture as the filling had a purée texture than chewy texture like traditional dumplings, but it was extremely flavorful. The Duck fat apple pie was intriguing. You can taste the duck fat in the apple pie, which makes it savory and sweet, you just want to keep eating. Their Rohan Duck was amazing!!! The duck was cooked perfectly medium rare, the mushrooms and local greens were crispy; not to mention the panda and apricot purée adds a nice sweet touch to the flavorful dish. The other dishes my friends ordered were their fried green tomatoes, pork roulade, and filet risotto.

The team at Bottle Tree are always friendly and attentive. This was previously the best place to eat in Belmont and I have had dinner here a number of times over the years. Unfortunately, the quality of the food has gone down quite a bit recently. Everything that we had from apps to desert was mediocre. Hanger steak came at a perfectly cooked medium but was served cold and was quite tough. The meal was expensive and I left feeling disappointed. I do not plan to return.

We came for the NYE four course dinner, and it wasn’t what I expected given the good reviews. It’s the small things for me, like lackluster presentation, forgetting to bring a spoon for soup and then bringing the wrong type of spoon, not cutting salad veggies uniformly, gristle in the tartar, caramel popcorn that looked straight from the 7-11, etc. Of all the courses, only the main entree met my expectations for the price from a quality and taste perspective.Service was good though and I liked the heated tent. I’d be willing to come back to try their regular menu.
