“I celebrated my birthday at Carolinas oyster bar last night. The hostess advised a table for two wait time was about an hour. I said okay, she responded back do you want to be added to the wait list? I said okay. She said she didn’t know if I wanted to wait! As we waited we had drinks at the bar, the bartender made a strawberry lemon drop, the best! Calamari and oysters for appetizers. I also ordered a lobster and shrimp roll! It was so delicious second bite I had three pieces of a lobster shell! Anthony was our waiter, I called him over he was in shock and said let me get my manager. Manager came over, I showed him the three pieces of the shell. He said that’s a possibility when they take the lobster out of the shell. No apology was provided, no offer to compensate the experience I had. I didn’t request a manager the waiter thought his manager would resolve the matter. Even though the manager offered to get me something else. I was nervous to get another meal especially when I run a risk for this to happen again. He said happy birthday enjoy your night. The managers response lacked empathy, poor customer service, I don’t care you will not be the first or last customer that this will happen to. In the back of my mind I wondered if I was a different race besides black would his response be the same?! The food was a ten even though I wasn’t able to eat and enjoy the lobster roll.“

“10/10 i would highly recommend! food is always fresh and delicious. service is always top tier! my favorite spot for lunch. the vibe is great from start to finish. i really enjoyed the hip hop music selection, it was never too loud or annoying. i think the generic radio is bland. i enjoyed the authentic vibes before they made the silly change due to one review. but nevertheless, I WILL BE BACK. every week :)“

“Thoroughly enjoyed our meal at Anju. We started with the seafood pancake which was actually more of a waffle. I prefer the traditional pancake but the waffle was good too. Next we split two entrees. We went with the bulgogi of course because it’s a classic. Also tried the spicy stir fried squid off the pop up menu. Loved this surf and turf combination. The cheesecake was the perfect ending. Great service too!“

“The food was great like always. This was the 1st time my son was able to come with us and his a chef and spoke very highly of the quality of the food. Our waitress was very good and her attention to detail was excellent! I cannot remember her name but I do know it started with a “L”.''lol! We travel from Rural Hall , NC to eat here about 4 times a year and love it every time.“

“The wait to get in was quite long. Went in about 7 PM. Had to wait for almost 45 mins. After we got sat, there was another 30-40 mins before our order was taken. The food was great as usually. The soups were a hit or miss. But loved the sushi.
Definitely not a place to go when you’re hungry. Something to try when you have ample time.“

“We had a company dinner here for our senior leadership team. I had a wonderful experience right from the get go starting with Drew helping me make the reservation. The restaurant is beautiful and the service was great. Due to the size of our group we had a limited menu to choose from but everyone seemed happy and satisfied with their dinner selections.“

“We came from hickory to eat here because they cater to dietary restrictions! The food was sooo amazing! Our server was Ian and he was phenomenal! Some of the best service I’ve received in a long time. Atmosphere was enjoyable and definitely will return!“

“We went to Dressler’s tonight for my husband’s Birthday. We had never been but wanted to try it since we loved their old Dogwood concept. Michelle was our waitress and truly made the evening so special. She was so knowledgeable around the menu and so attentive and fun. The food was exceptional. I had the waygu flank special and he had the 16oz ribeye. The shrimp appetizer was a great way to start and the apple crisp was a perfect ending to the meal. We were so excited to see the manager from the old Dogwood concept working there. She is so great too. Thank you for having such an amazing space that can make nights so memorable.“

“The Ugly isn't ugly, it's quite beautiful.

This is a neat bar near the tracks & Chamber by Wooden Robot. If you aren't looking for it, it's actually quite easy to miss.

Inside, there's old time bar mirrors & decor which fit the bar perfectly. The bartenders are quick & do a solid job.

There's option of different types of ugly cocktails but let's be honest, the $2 Narragansett is the best deal in Charlotte. The cocktails are affordable for Charlotte which gives them an edge over many other options nearby.

I'd recommend coming down, getting a gansett & a shot, & enjoy your time chatting with the locals.

PS: The Charlotte map on the wall is really neat.“

“Chicken & waffles were delicious also the shrooms. Service was also great“

“Excellent waiter. He greeted up promptly and thanked up for selecting Firebird's. Our waiter knew the menu, made a couple of recommendations (which were great). Waiter provided just the right amount of attention to our experience. He also was timely on replenishing our drinks. When leaving we usually speak about the great food. Sunday was different. We talked about the waiter's professionalism.“

“Best fish plate I’ve had in a long time.“

“From the moment we stepped inside the restaurant for my birthday dinner last night, we knew our dinner at the Kindred’s new brainchild, Albertine, was going to be special - and we were not disappointed!

The space is breathtakingly beautiful - dark, luxurious fabrics, shiny marble surfaces, cozy round booths and gorgeous color combinations combine for an upscale, yet cozy vibe.

The staff are phenomenal. Our waitress, Abigail, couldn’t have done a better job explaining the menu items, from cocktails and wines to appetizers and entrees. We were seated about 15 minutes after our reservation time, so that was my only qualm, but the hostesses were apologetic and kind about it.

The menu had changed slightly from the one online (which I feel like is always a good sign for seasonal selections). We ordered two delicious cocktails and started off with the whipped feta - the soft, herb spiced pita it came with was a big winner. For our mains, we decided to split the hanger steak frites and the Venetian style asparagus. I don’t remember a steak I’ve had that I’ve enjoyed quite as much as that one - it was melt-in-your-mouth tender (drenched in a bordelaise that we were told takes the kitchen five days to make) and was served with crispy smashed potatoes and an addictive toum aioli sauce… we were both legitimately sad when it was over. As for the asparagus, I’ve never had anything like it before (in the BEST way) - it was lightly fried and served with crispy curry leaves over a creamy labneh and topped with a sweet pomegranate glaze… it was so playful and innovative, as was the baklava dessert served with homemade ice cream over Nutella. The perfect blend of Mediterranean and Southern.

Eating this meal was truly a joy. We can’t wait to go back!

Dietary restrictions: We don’t have any dietary restrictions, but they asked us about 5 times and I could tell they were extremely accommodating for dietary restrictions

Parking: They validate in the Duke Energy lot! They texted us a pin to the address of the lot, which was very considerate.“

“My daughter loves their food, especially the beef bulgogi and hotpot! The last time we ate there the elderly Korean woman working there came out to our table and spoke to us for a while. She was so kind and went out of her way to bag up everything for us.“
