“This is always our choice for dinner or lunch out. The service is impeccable. The food is exquisite and consistent. You can’t have a mediocre meal here. Everything from apps, salads, wine, crafted beverages, entrees to coffee and dessert is absolute perfection. The crab cakes are my go to. My family ran a crab company for over 65 years here in NC and when I tell you these are the best crab cakes you’ll ever have, I’m not kidding. Zero binder-just sweet, jumbo lump in every bite. They are to die for. You can’t miss the cast iron corn bread with cheddar, jack, and chiles either. That honey drizzle…?…Chef’s kiss! The salads are always cold, crisp, and fresh. My “can’t miss” dessert is the banana cream pie topped with caramel, chocolate sauce, and cacao nibs. The barrel cut filet is top tier as well. 131 Main knows how to offer a fabulous dining experience. We’ve never had anything but stellar service. Last night Morgan was absolutely incredible! We love her! The restrooms are always clean and well stocked. The open kitchen concept is a bit of torture-LOL Primarily because the minute you step into the restaurant, the smells are just heavenly! You see flame kissed beef, pork, or chicken on the grill and all of the fresh vegetables. We take home more than we eat because everything is so amazingly delicious. Thank to the BOH, FOH, and management for all of your hard work. I will continue recommending you to everyone I meet! The people I know are already life long customers.“

Broadway Market & Deli Asian • $$

“We were greeted and shown to a nice booth, and the server arrived immediately after to take our drink and appetizer order — a very good spicy crab roll. I thoroughly enjoyed the Osaka Chicken, a stir fry with plenty of chicken and fresh veggies in a tasty, slightly spicy sauce, served with steamed rice. My husband’s “shrimp with walnuts”/steamed rice was outstanding both in taste and presentation. Our leisurely dinner was tasty and fun. We will be back! ( PS —COVID protocol observed and appreciated)“

“After FOUR YEARS of driving by this place and hoping to one day walk through the door....IT FINALLY HAPPENED on Friday, August 16, 2024! The BoatYard LKN is everything I knew it would be and more! My neighbor and I bought tickets for the "Who's Bad Ultimate Michael Jackson Experience" show.

We arrived early to grab a comfortable seat. Prior to the show we ordered shareables and a few cocktails. The service was incredible from beginning to end! From security to the bartenders, everyone was friendly and welcoming! It must be something about the environment inside, because I met so many kind people who absolutely LOVE the Boatyard LKN experience! The show was incredible! (Minus the storm that came through during the second half of the show.) I will definitely go back REAL SOON!“

“Been driving past this restaurant for years, decided to stop by today and my only regret is that I didn't try this place sooner. The food was easily 10/10, portions were big and prices were very good. For 2 people we paid a total of about 35 dollars and we were absolutely stuffed. The chips and salsa were the best I ever had. This is without a doubt the best Mexican restaurant in the area. The waitress/server was very pleasant and never missed a beat. 20/10 restaurant!“

“Decided to try this place from a recommendation from ai. Went with a guest at 2pm on Tuesday. Not to busy which is preferred. Our server was Luke, he was awesome. Great service, recommendations, suggestions and conversation. Really went the extra mile to make sure we were having a good time. I also appreciated how he as well as our host and the maitre D checked in with us throughout the whole meal. I realize during peak rush times with big crowds that’s not always possible but it shows to me the resturant cares and provides assurance.

Food was great. We Ordered the mussels in tomato white wine sauce w/ grilled cheese + fries, the house pickles, blackened shrimp tacos and cauliflower steak and a lime slushie. Everything tasted great nothing really missed. I’d probably change to taco sauce to a cilantro lime creama versus the Baja that was provided but it’s a small personal critique, not major.

So ya, great service great food and an enjoyable atmosphere. It’s hard to get by the water outside of lake Norman in the Charlotte area but I would come back again. Ask for luke M!“

“⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ A Local Gem in Cornelius! If you’re looking for authentic, mouth-watering pizza, pasta and wings in Cornelius, Prosciutto’s Pizzeria is the absolute gold standard. I’ve been here many times, and they never miss a beat. It's no wonder Prosciutto's is one of the longest standing Italian restaurants in the Lake Norman region. The Food - The crust is the perfect balance of crispy and chewy, and you can tell they use high-quality, fresh ingredients. Whether you’re grabbing a classic pepperoni or one of their specialty pies, the flavors are always spot on. Don’t sleep on their appetizers either—the chicken wings are available in a bazillion (Okay, I'm exaggerating) varieties are touted by the locals to be the best at the lake! The garlic and parm wings is my personal favorite. The Service - What really sets this place apart, though, is the staff. From the moment you walk in, you’re treated like family. The servers are incredibly attentive, friendly, and fast, even when the dining room is packed. It’s rare to find a spot where the energy is just as good as the food, but the team here nails it every time. Bottom line: Great vibes, even better pizza, and a staff that truly cares. If you haven’t been yet, you’re doing your taste buds a disservice!“
