Chef Williams and his team did a spectacular job on our food and we will definitely be returning here. Thank you for all you did.“

“We were in town for one night, an unexpected stay. We decided to make the most of it. Caroline’s sparked our interest and was an easy walk from our hotel. It did NOT disappoint!! In fact, it checked all the boxes: ✅ food, ✅ drink, ✅ staff, ✅ atmosphere, ✅ location, ✅ price. This has been added to our “when in Charlotte again” list.“

“One of my go to rooftop bars in Charlotte. I love the diversity of the chairs. You got bar seats, sectionals, those big egg lookin rattans. Is rattan a word? Idk, feels right. Drinks are great, service is great, views are great. I dinged a star cause one time they wouldn’t let me and a friend sit at the bar when we really really wanted to sit at the bar. Shout out to JP, Scott, Jared, James, Sean and all the lovely ladies whose names aren’t on this list.“

“What an amazing experience we had eating at Hellenic Greek Kitchen! Service was quick and thorough, atmosphere was relaxed and easy, and the food was some of the best I’ve had anywhere. Portions were big and everything we tried was delicious!! Go see Peyton and Amelia and let them fill you up!“

“We loved our experience, had great service and the food was so good - we really enjoy going to Melting Pot as we get to have a longer, sit down time with our family and our 3 boys “get to” have discussions with us :). Staff is terrific and we can't wait to go back again soon!“

“Great place, first time trying it for my gfs bday. Its a nice fancy restaurant that is not too stuffy. The food and service are good and the prices some of the better ones around. Could use an extra item or 2 on the menu more kid/basic dude eating friendly and another dessert or two. We had a great time and it was a great find, we will certainly be back“

“Sunday Brunch was a success today! Thank you ASH, our incredible server and new friend! The food could have been trash and I still would rate the place 5 stars because of her! So fun!funny! Attentive! Great personality that was genuine!I ordered a mimosa—it was good! Classic taste! I tried the honey suckler daiquiri, that was really tasty! Just wish it was frozen!The beignets were AMAZING! We had to order two orders of them lmao I should have gotten a 3rd order to go!I ordered the Charlotte Hot Brown ($24 Stacked French Toast, Fried Chicken, Sweet Maple, Gravy, Grilled Tomatoes, Aged Cheddar, Crispy Bacon, Sunny Egg). I had the gravy on the side and asked the egg to be fried hard! It was really tasty!The atmosphere was great! Energetic but not overwhelming. Can’t wait to come back for dinner“

“We were looking forward to trying this place out, and it lived up to our expectations! Our server, Scott, was great. He had great knowledge of the menu and that also had a lot to do with staff training from the leadership, plus he has been in the hospitality industry for years. Now the food…the Tuna crudo was OUT OF THIS WORLD! It was our favorite dish…other than the raw oysters. Those were fabulous too. The fries weren’t our thing, but they were bad. The mushroom toast was quite tasty. The cocktail was perfect…I had a Last Word. My husband loved the wine, and what was so great was the serving choices. You could choose a 3 ounce or a 6 ounce pour, and that’s a great option when aren’t sure exactly what wine will go with a certain dish. I highly recommend dining here!“

“A gem on Main Street in Fort Mill! I came here with a girlfriend on a busy Friday night. We sat at the bar and ordered several small plates to share. It was such a fun experience and perfect for two people. All the flavors were delicious. My friend is a chef, and even she was impressed!“

“Loved it! We've visited other Rare Root's concepts often but this was our first time at Chapter 6. Food was outstanding, pacing was perfect, relaxed atmosphere, and a great place to linger and watch the world go by. We will be back...!“

“Very trendy, delicious, and busy spot. Basically reservation only. We reserved outdoor seating but it was a cold day and they squeezed us in inside. Food was artfully prepared. Small portions but sooo good. We tried the fries, curry mussels, Korean bbq, drinks, cheesecake, cappuccino, and Larry's Buns. Very loud environment too, it was hard to hear ourselves talk. It's ok though, fits the vibe.“

“We had a lovely experience here. Food was top notch and Cristo was our host and he was the best. We had the chopped salad with Chipotle Ranch and the Peppers appetizer. We both had the enchiladas and strawberry margaritas. Wonderfully delicious!“

“This place is absolutely phenomenal. Honestly some of the best service I have experienced in a long time. Kelly was our waitress, shout out to her! The chicken pad thai was fantastic and the shrimp dumplings were also incredible! Will absolutely be back!“

“Cute atmosphere, parking nearby but also walkable. Service was pretty good. Food was delicious, we enjoyed the variety of vegan and gluten free options. Note this is more of what I consider a "comfort food" type of vegan where the menu was more veggies/mushrooms rather than tofu/seitan. Drink list had something for everyone.Bottom line - would definitely recommend to check out!Dietary restrictions: Gluten free and they indicate nut free options as well“

“Monday night is an amazing brewery that takes care of their customers. I was lucky enough to get to try a few of their brews at a trade show in Charlotte and have been in love ever since. So in love it has become a regular flagship in my Kegerator. Amanda and the staff are A+++ very kind and curious. Highly recommended! Cheers!“

“OMG!!This restaurant was amazing!! from the moment we walked in the restaurant the staff was lovely. The own/manager Matt was so welcoming we felt at home, our waiter G was the best!! The presentation of the food was GREAT... This restaurant is a hidden gem...Love everything about it! We would most definitely be visiting Angeline's more often.“

“While visiting Charlotte for a week long vacation I came across Snooze for breakfast as it was fairly close to my hotel. I found the selection and quality to be great with unique and traditional options. Shout out to Emma, “Chewbacca” and especially Bri for being amazing servers with friendly and pleasant attitudes! I’ll be back again before I leave.“

“In Charlotte on business, found this place on a whim. Staff was very friendly and accommodating. Zack behind the bar is a wealth of rum knowledge. The other lady working could give a master class on Japanese whiskey's from what I heard her explaining to another customer. I will definitely make this a regular stop whenever I am in town. Happy 3 year anniversary you guys!“

“Stumbled across this little gem today, while needing a new environment for working from home. I spent several hours here working, and will definitely be back. The staff was very warm, the food and coffee were delicious and reasonably priced, and the atmosphere was lovely. Lots of space, very bright, and even a patio. It’s easy to find with plenty of parking. I’m already looking forward to going again!“

“I recently ate breakfast at Ruby Sunshine for the first time, and I was very impressed. The service is very good and the food is delicious. We started off with the beignets that were so tasty. I had the Three Little Pigs omelet that comes with bacon, ham, and sausage with grits and a delicious buttermilk biscuit. It was so good. The bar looks really cool, and I need to have a cocktail the next time I come back. If you are looking for a good breakfast/brunch spot in Ballantyne, I recommend Ruby Sunshine.“

“What a lovely experience we had here. We celebrated our anniversary and from the start they went out of their way to make us feel special. We got a little card from the restaurant wishing us a happy anniversary. We decided to get a bottle of wine, and the Sommelier was in the house that night and came over and extensively talked to us about the wine choices, and ended up helping us choose such a delicious bottle. It was so fun to be able to use that service.The food was so incredible. For start, we got the roasted oysters (absolutely delicious) and the 7 layer salad (crisp and refreshing, but could have used a little bit more dressing but still very yummy). For our meal, we got the pork shank that was on special and the poulet rouge. Our sides were the Mac and Cheese, mushroom risotto, and the Brussels. Everything was soooo incredible! The sauce on the chicken was delicious, the Mac and cheese was creamy and flavorful, the pork shank was so rich and had a delicious dark gravy on it. We stuffed ourselves so full and savored every single bite. For dessert we got the mud pie and they also brought out some cute little macarons for our anniversary. Delicious as well!The service was incredible and we never had to wait for anything. The food came quickly and they were always on top of changing our plates and silverware. Our water cups were always full and we got continuous top offs of our wine. Everyone was extremely nice. It was just so lovely.Highly recommend if you want a fancy night out. I truly feel that it was well worth the money. Thanks again!“

“I had dinner September 6th. We started with truffle fries and Gourdgeous, a bruschetta. They were both very flavorful. I followed up with Cahones, the cola barbecue sauce complemented the ground brisket meatballs. I also had the Juniper steak with grilled broccoli and parsnips with a garlic mist. Dessert was great. I tried butterscotch pound cake and red velvet brownie. My only regret was I didn't have a second stomach. You won't be disappointed. Be sure to try the Smokey old-fashioned. I choose Makers Mark for my Bourbon.“

“This place is AMAZING! Theres swings outside, everyone was friendly, a slide, great drinks.The ski ball was free, duck-pin bowling was relatively cheap (I believe $10?) and lots of open games. Pinball was $1 per game. Despite a lot of people, we were able to go through the place comfortably. Great place to get a drink and hangout, was a TON of fun!!!Parking: Parking on side of building. Unsure if theres a lot of parking, but a good amount of spots.“

“Ruby Sunshine is my FAVORITE brunch spot in Charlotte!! Tasha was my waitress today and the service was so amazing!! She checked on us many times to make sure we had what we needed. I'll be back and hope I have Tasha as a waitress. Best experience today.“

“My family and I visited for the first time, and this place did not disappoint! The grits and chicken sausage were amazing. The upside-down pineapple pancakes were delicious as well. The food was so delicious that we forgot to take pictures. Oh well just know that it's oh so delicious“

“Myself and come colleagues were in town for the ASTC conference and stopped in here for lunch one day as the aroma drew us in. We ordered several dishes and everything was stellar! Service was quick and friendly and we were stuffed after. Our favorite dish was the Chilli Cauliflower Florets. We still talk about how good they were and have even tried to replicate them at home. I will definitely be stopping back in for another meal when I’m in town again.“

“I've been doing Courts and Coffee for the past month, and it is my new favorite thing. Randi is very nice and welcoming and really great about matching you up with people at your skill level. She does all the organizing and I get to just show up and play! I'm new and still learning and even when I play with/against more experience people they have been so nice and encouraging. If you're open and willing to learn from others, you will enjoy yourself. And socializing in between games and the included coffee is a nice bonus!“

“This place was a discovery for me... we came in by chance and were completely pleasantly surprised. Excellent and fast service, polite, helpful staff, delicious cuisine and atmosphere. And all this is right in the very center of the city. I recommend it.“

“Just had a delicious lunch at The Southern Pecan. I had the shrimp po’ boy, which was served with a side of fries. Soooo good. Luckily it was too much food so now I have dinner already prepared. Service was excellent - shout out to Lilly!“

“If you are a wine lover like me, head over to The Wine Loft, located in the swanky Southend neighborhood of Charlotte! It's an excellent option for enjoying great wines! They have a selection of white, red and rose wines and the ambiance is perfect - cozy and laid back, with a touch of elegance. The staff was also helpful and attentive! They also have live music on the weekends, which adds to the great vibe! It's a great place to enjoy a variety of wines!“

“One of the coolest bars I've ever been too. Mechanical pin bowling, free arcade games, sports games (including UFC PPV), a giant slide with a bar at the top of the slide, swings, outdoor beer pong with trashcan and kickball. They got it all.“

“Nice place with good music and atmosphere, their cocktails were the best, we went here hoping tasting wine but that is only on Tuesday, we told the person assisting us we were here first time but we got very limited information however the bartender was around and she was super friendly and sharing information about the wine tasting days , we saw few reviews on Bellini cocktail and wanted to have it but came to know their menu changed and made us a version without slushy it was very good, for the next one we asked her to make one of her specials and she gave us a drink which was too good it was not in the menu. My wife also ordered the same drink and she told hers tasted even better with lime touch, she is the best.The food options were very limited but the way it was presented and quality is great . We ordered hummus plates and mushroom flatbread, we liked both, the food we ordered, the food menu also keeps changing here!!overall we had great experience and we will be back to the wine tasting someday.“

“Eight of us had the best time at SupperClub! The Duck Pin bowling was a fun way to start the evening, with drinks and apps. Our dining experience was also great, starting off with the yummy pimento cheese app. Our waiters, Sergio and Frank, were very attentive to our needs. Even Chef Nolan came by to check on us a couple of times throughout our meal, which was extra special! Everything we ate, mushrooms, cauliflower, broccolini, chicken flatbread, fried chicken thighs, duck special, crab salad special, and the pasta bolognese, was delicious! Chocolate cake, cheesecake, and the fruit tart were also yummy! We will definitely be back! Hats off to Chef Nolan and his staff!“

“I’ve been wanting to try Cypress Drinkery in Charlotte, North Carolina for so long and finally got there. It was better than I imagined. Just a chill local bar with a bottle shop. The bartender was amazing. She was very friendly and had fast service. The prices were reasonable and loved the space too. Will definitely go back.“

“The service was excellent starting with the fact we were running late and they still let us be seated when we arrived. Our server was very friendly and informative of different menu options. Food was great and portions were very good size. We will be back again!“

“Our first time going and the atmosphere was warm yet vibrant. The owner came and introduced himself to us and answered a simple question we had about olives. He was just very warm and down to earth and genuine. Excellent drinks and awesome food.“

“Wonderful experience! From the manager making sure we would enjoy our meal when I called early that morning about our reservations to Sergio being an absolute gracias server. The drinks were so good, and the prime rib with mash potatoes and broccolini (the au jus put it over the top) was delicious! I highly recommend.. you will not be disappointed!“

“Right above the Belfast Bar, hard to spot, and has a speakeasy sort of ambience. With darkly lit room, comfortable couches, and a nice small bar. We loved it! It's a nice bar that was quiet enough to chat, and had a sort of small town vibe to. The drinks were great! My husband got a drink that the bartender put some fire trick with it, which was really cool! And the old fashioned was tasty.“

“Cozy spot with a small staff, go a few times and you'll know everyone! Love the "drink for a cause" charity cocktail added to every menu and the option for bartenders choice. Chill weekdays and energetic weekends, pick your vibe. Highly recommend.“

“I had my birthday party at Canopy Cocktails and Garden, and it was by far the best experience I’ve ever had. The event planning staff was super accommodating, the food was amazing, and the overall service was great!!! I highly recommended this place for your next party! Book it… you won’t be disappointed!“

“Everything is chill. Nice relaxing environment.Big deck to smoke or whatever ?.Good music, not much county though.Drinks are not over priced really, special u saw was like $5.Nice cozy nooks and larger L sofas ?.Chill for like 50 with drinks.“

“This is a must stop when visiting LoSo!! They have a great vibe, mixed drinks, beer selection, and small plate options!! Think Amelie’s bakery meets craft cocktail speak easy with classic movies streaming in the background. Amber and Z are rock star bartenders!“

“Decent burritos and tacos for Charlotte. Can be better. I miss California burritos from San Diego, so I was happy to see that Mal Pan has one. I didn’t like that they put inside tomatoes, some white cheese. Would prefer more meat and fries with some cheesy sauce but overall it was good and my craving for California burrito was fulfilled. I wish the meat was softer for it. The shrimp burrito was blunt, and there was mostly rice and beans. I personally don’t like when burrito is full of rice and beans. Tacos was good especially the one with plantain but I think it’s too expensive for Charlotte. Probably it’s a fair price I’m just comparing it with good expensive places in San Diego.“

“New place opening in Ballantyne. Very nice ambience. The mood created with soft lighting and smooth music sets the tone for a great night.. the mixologist made amazing cocktail. My wife enjoyed the purple rain.Very nice selection of cuisinesVegetarian options: Black bean burger. Zucchini friesTruffle fries“

“My friend took me here for dinner while I was in town and it did not disappoint! You can dress casually, or dress it up for a special occasion. The service was great and made wonderful recommendations. I highly suggest the white garlic bread for a starter and the vodka rigatoni. The food was delicious and we didn't feel rushed. They do validate parking in the attached ramp, but only up to two hours.Vegetarian options: They can make many of these dishes vegetarian friendly.“

“New place that has potential, but needs some work! The charcuterie board was good but everything else seemed to lack flavor. The flatbread and empanadas were just ok. The mojito tasted watered down and the shaken colada was tiiiny. I don't mind paying $12 for a cocktail but these were overpriced for what we actually got. Would have stayed longer and ordered more, if we felt like there was a better value. 3 stars out of 5, will give it another try once they've been open for longer.“

“The food the service the chef the bartender or server all were incredible. I just can't say enough passionate stuff about this place. Once you come here you'll be hooked. Outstanding service outstanding cuisine a Chef with a real “

“This is a hometown favorite, I've grown up eating here and everything is delicious.The restaurant is located at the right entrance of an Alley featuring a number of other bars. People often call this area, the French Quarter, but it's actual name is Brevard Court. It urks me hearing this and it's become more common so stop doing that people.“

“Came in for a girls night with some friends. Started with a game of bowling, then played 3 games of pool and finished up with corn hole. 2 bars open to serve alcoholic drinks. Patio seating to enjoy the weather. They also have connect four, Jenga and table tennis. Had a great time!“
