While the service was a solid 2.5 it was because the server was friendly. We booked a reservation over a week prior to the date to entertain our out of town family that we hadn't seen in a long time. When we arrived we were told that ordering from the menu was cancelled for the day and all that was available was a breakfast buffet. The buffet featured cold scrambled eggs and other less than mediocre breakfast items like soft, chewy bacon and stale toast that you had to make yourself. It was a less than average hotel buffet breakfast. Very disappointed that I was not contacted and told that Sevice for the day would be diminished, especially after having a reservation with a large group. The final price was extraordinarily high as well for a less than mediocre breakfast buffet. Will not be back.

The food was fine but mediocre at best. My lamb was over done and served with a gelatinous sauce. The front door was locked to keep out passerbys. We will not be returning.

We dine here before going to Bleumenthal, and it works well for us, a group of women. Because we can't take leftovers we get small plates or share, and they are very accommodating, and the food is excellect. Our server was also excellent. My garden salad had very fresh assorted lettuces and I'll get it again.
Diane
The food was very average. I had BBQ short ribs. The ribs were fatty and they tasted like a store bought BBQ had been poured on them at the last minute. Not great. My husband's pasta w seafood was similarly drowned in red sauce.

Our party of four loved our dinner. One lady ordered the Salmon with green tea and loved it. The salmon was very fresh and cooked perfectly. The lasagna was very good. Two of us had the seafood pasta and it was delicious! The portions were generous. We enjoyed a bottle of Montepulciano. We ended the meal with the apple pie and mango cobbler. The pie was frozen when served but other than that our meal was perfect. Jenae was a fabulous server with tons of personality and good suggestions. The restaurant is very quiet and peaceful and in a great location for attending Uptown events.

The service was excellent. We went for the Queen's Feast and the set menu had amazing variety and delicious food. The wine pairings were also excellent.
Christopher
It was an excellent experience! We went during restaurant week and enjoyed the course and wine pairing.

We dined here for the 2025 Queen's Fest/Restaurant Week event. When we arrived, we found all street entrances to the restaurant locked, with no signs telling us how to enter. We realized we had to go in through the hotel that it was attached to. The restaurant was small, and diners were seated close together. The service was excellent, the bartender made fabulous drinks, and the food was delicious. My wife's salmon was undercooked, and the manager compensated her. We will surely come back!

The food was excellent, and the staff was superb. We had arrived about 15 minutes before the restaurant opened and we were allowed to come in and sit in the waiting area until our table was ready. It was a great experience from the minute we walked through the door until we left. I was very impressed with the waitress, host and all of the staff. Our food was cooked perfectly, to our specification and the staff was very attentive to us, as well as their other tables. I would definitely recommend the restaurant anytime you are in Charlotte. It was the perfect restaurant to go to before our show at the Belk Theater and very close to it as well. Great location and it has a great vibe. Thank you to all the staff who made our evening out special.

Food and service were excellent. Wine pairings with each course were excellent. I would recommend Forchetta for anyone wanting nice quiet and delicious meal. Ask for window seat down the window.
My wife and I met friends here for dinner before a show at Blumenthal Performing Arts Center. The location is perfect. Close to the theater and only a 2 minute walk from the light rail, or they offer free parking in the Wake Forest parking garage. The atmosphere was quiet as there were only a couple of other tables occupied during the time we were there. The server was friendly and mostly attentive, but not as efficient as we would have liked. As for the food, my wife had the Lobster Bisque and said it was delicious. I had the French Onion soup and it was just average. My wife also had a wedge salad. It didn't come with bleu cheese crumbles, so we had to ask for them. I had the Pistachio-crusted chicken tenders, which were very tasty but small in portion size. Our friend had the Pork Chop and said that it was good. They gave us a 15% discount with our show tickets which brought the cost to about $100 per couple with tip, so not too expensive, but slightly more than I would pay again for what we received. Overall, I would say it has a great location, good food and decent service, at a slightly higher price.

Our experience was average. Tap water to start with. Had to ask for ice. When asked if the salads were shareable, waiter told us no. We ordered one Caesar salad and it was plenty to share. We noticed others doing the same. It was an average at best salad...nothing special or noteworthy. I had the bone in pork chop. I wasn't asked how I wanted that prepared. I would have said medium rare. Came out medium so I figured that was the only way the chef prepared it. The chop was good, but over cooked. My wife ordered seafood pasta. It was too spicey for her taste and the shrimp and scallops were way over done! Dessert was again, just average. Three courses of which non stood out. At best, average restaurant.

Fancy hotel bar with a very limited menu. Food was ok but the dessert was awesome.

Very good food with very good service which always make for a great dining experience. Nicely laid out and quiet enough to allow conversation at the table.
