Where is the Best Fine Dining in Charlotte, North Carolina?
My boyfriend took me here for my birthday. I had been a few times before, and have always adored it, and this time was no exception! We look very young for our age, and sometimes have a problem getting quality service. Here, were treated like royalty by our great waitress! My birthday fell on a Sunday, and we made reservations for that evening. When we got there, we realized we definitely didn’t need the reservations! There were only two other groups there in the entire restaurant! You’d think it’d have been quiet, but one of the groups was a noisy wedding shower, downstairs. It was definitely bearable, though. We got the entire shabang, with the salad (I got the mushroom salad… DELICIOUS!), cheese fondue (sharp cheddar), meat (which is absolutely amazing…) and chocolate turtle desert. I adore chocolate covered strawberries, and alwasy devour them quickly, and they offer to replenish the strawberries each time. I can’t say enough wonderful things about this restaurant. There’
I read about Blue Restaurant and Bar in another Charlotte-based publication and decided to plan my best friend’s bachelorette dinner here. I called and arranged a time to come in and scope out the restaurant as well as try out some of the items on the menu. I was very impressed by the appetizers – which range from delicious scallops to equally yummy flavors of the Mediterranean. My husband and I also tried a few martinis and desserts on three different occasions. We were pleased with the selection and decided to book a reservation for our upcoming dinner party. Roughly a month prior to the event, I discussed the party details with two different staff members and was assured we would be allowed to sit in the Solarium room (their patio area). About two weeks before the event I called to confirm our reservation and was then told that another group (larger party) had also booked the same room that night, and that we (smaller party) would need to move to another area within the restaurant
Mickey and Mooch used to be a great place to go to with outstanding service, ambiance and food. We have been going there for 8 years and have never been disappointed until last night. Our food was good and my steak was cooked perfectly but the meal was spoiled by poor service. We had made a reservation for 7 pm and were made to wait until I complained. While we were waiting in the bar it took 15 minutes just to get a drink. Only one bartender serving the entire restaurant and bar. Once seated it also became obvious there were not enough waiters. Our initial sevice was good but nowhere near what my expectations were based on prior visits to Mickey and Mooch. Pros + Easy parkingCons – Service is average
We visited Capital Grille tonight for the very first time, it was “restaurant week” in Charlotte so we wanted to take advantage of the three course special for $30 each. We got there early because we wanted to sit at the bar for a bit. The hostess told us our table would be ready a bit before our reservation time, but to sit at the bar, enjoy, and let her know when we were ready to be seated. We sat at the bar and I asked for a Stoli Doli, which came HIGHLY requested on this very board – well y’all were right on! Delicious (albeit a bit pricey – $12 each). I downed two of them (haha, be careful, they WILL catch up to you, not right away though, I was definitely not feeling too hot during my heavy but heavenly meal). They are strong, but excellent. Anyway, while we were at the bar, I believe it was the manager or head maitree’de came over and said “hope we didnt butcher your last name too badly when you walked in, your table is ready whenever you are.” I said to my fiancee, how did he k
