“Absolutely delish! The “treatment” is awesome.“

“I had quite a spectacular time here at Eddie V's! I am give the place a solid 5 stars because of the excellent service, food, and atmosphere. The Bone-In Strip steak I had at Eddie V's was better than any of the steaks I had at Steak 48, Oak, or Capital Grille. I was impressed as they got it perfect to Medium-Rare, whereas the steak I had at Capital Grille was overcooked. The flavor was phenomenal and I never enjoyed a steak this much.

The only reason I am downgrading the food is the sides. I was not a fan of the Truffle Mac & Cheese which was watery/soupy and appeared that they didn't properly thicken the cream sauce. The Brussel Sprouts were pretty good but not really anything more exceptional than other Brussel Sprouts I have had. They do give you a lot but nothing is cheap at this restaurant. My steak was an exceptional deal though, as the same steak would cost more at Steak 48. The Lobster Bisque soup I did think was good and had some actually lobster pieces in it unlike the one I had at Capital Grille.

My Smoked Old Fashioned was really good and at $21 was not a bad deal considering they use Basil Haydn. In contrast to Whiskey cocktails I had at Steak 48, this restaurant has much higher quality cocktails and does drinks other steakhouses won't do.

I really loved the jazz music! My only complaint is that the band and their drum set is way too close to the bar so it makes it really hard to talk or hear. I guess that is just a limitation of the location and it would not stop me from going back on to enjoy the music although I may sit on the other side of the bar away from the band. They also have a dance floor and the place can get a bit lively on a weekend.

If you are looking for a fun and lively experience with fine dining I definitely would advise checking out Eddie V's. I have yet to try their seafood and maybe some of their other sides like the Poached Lobster mashed potatoes would be better, so I will look forward to coming back again and trying different things.“

“A rare gem in Charlotte yes it can be found in a strip mall like so many spots here. Your not coming for the location. Your coming for some of the best food made in Charlotte. One of the best restaurants in my humble opinion. A must if your a foodie do people still use that term?. I was even able to get a sneak preview of a sticky rib dish with some rice cakes. I make a point to come here often.“

“Great place for a quiet evening out. Food was amazing.“

“I had the crab cakes and they were delicious. The staff were friendly and the atmosphere was very relaxing. I am here on business but would definitely come back Thank you“

“We dined there for the first time this evening and absolutely LOVED it! The beef meatballs appetizer and the leg of lamb with braised green beans were perfectly cooked and absolutely delicious! The entire staff was delightful and friendly and brought even more warmth to an already splendid experience!! We highly recommend this lovely place! We will be back very soon!!“

“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.“

“No place better for food allergic patrons who also want delicious fare. My family and I are now your newest loyal customers and are forever grateful that our children can eat safely somewhere other than our kitchen. Absolutely delicious as well.“

“I had a pleasant experience for my first time being in your restaurant. I ordered the chefs special which was the fish, even with the sauce it was kind of tough. I took it to go so I can make it to my symphony. Other the that my drink, appetizer, and service was perfect I will try next time I come through Charlotte. Thank you for your time“

“The food was amazing! Alan did a great job taking care of us and providing some recommendations!“

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ This place has it all! Mondays are a blast with Music Bingo – the perfect way to kick off the week. The drinks are top notch 🍹, the menu is phenomenal (seriously, everything we tried was delicious 😋), and the energy is always on point. Come the weekend, the dance floor comes alive 💃🕺 with parties that keep everyone moving. A spot that nails food, fun, and music – can’t wait to come back!“

“We've been going to the Cajun Queen for over 32 years! NEVER had a bad meal or experience. I especially recommend the fried oysters (I don't like oysters, but these are awesome) and the bbq shrimp appetizers, their special with the Mahi Mahi and either topping they offer are my go-to's. My husband loves the Bayou platter (it's a LOT of food). You will not be disappointed!“

“From the ambiance, the attentive staff, exquisite food and drinks the evening was 1st Class. Not stodgy or overbearing but our needs were anticipated. The food was beyond! Thank you!“

“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.“

“Very nice food and menu for price- Want to thank Kaitlyn especially for her excellent service and kindness in dealing with a food allergy. Recommend them highly“

“The Valley Grill is amazing! The food is absolutely delicious and the people are super friendly. They even saved me big time — I showed up after they closed, completely starving, and they still prepared food for me and even delivered it! Such kind and generous people. I wish we had more restaurants like this one. Thank you, Valley Grill, for not just feeding me but truly caring! Highly recommend!“

“Starting off, the hostess was also the sweetest woman, with the kindest smile. Horace was our server and he was an absolute pleasure. He was attentive without being overbearing. Told endearing stories about his life, and always had a smile to go with it. He recommended the a modified item on the menu (omelette with salmon) which was so good. They also had a live guitarist playing hits that enhanced the overall vibe. 10/10 will definitely be coming back“
