    While visiting Charlotte, we stopped by Arbol Eatery and were honestly impressed! We tried four sandwiches -- El Italiano, El Cubano, and Chicken torta -- plus the Caprese, and each one had its vibe and flavor. The standout for us was definitely the Cuban -- a super creative take on a classic, with that perfect balance of "original with a twist." El Italiano was a close second, packed with flavor and just the right texture. The torta was solid too, just a little spicy for my like, but I never checked if it was, and the Caprese made for a fresh, lighter option, it was missing the fresh mozzarella and fresh tomatoes. Service was fair. Overall, the place has a chill vibe, the food came out quickly, and we'd come back to try more of the menu.

    This uptown spot is definitely a gem. I dropped in with my bestie for her birthday lunch and we ordered a bunch of stuff and tried everything. The ladies behind the counter were really sweet and that's always appreciated!! Here's what we ordered and my thought on each: - Quesadilla: it was just okay, needed a smidge more flavor. - Chicken torta: ABSOLUTELY delicious. By far our fav item. I would come back again and again for this!!! - Tacos for Taco Tuesday: these weren't bad, the steak was just really tough. They had pretty good flavor otherwise. - Coquito latte: this was freakin' amazing, so tasty and flavorful. It was sweet but not overly sweet. I would definitely go back and recommend anyone to try them out! It's also so beautiful in side with soooo many plants all over the place. The other cool thing is some of the plants are for sale. The even sell plant pots. It's a really cool community-esque type space in the middle of Uptown. It's a great addition.

    Jalapeno Pimento Melt, Donut
    Sharvani M.

    Seems like a very underrated spot because we were the first and only people here at 10am on a Sunday. We had a lovely experience and would recommend. Arbol is inside the building next to the Grand Bohemian and the decor is beautiful! Very tropical, natural, botanical vibe and very kind staff. We shared the jalapeno pimento pressed sandwich, warmed donut, and caramel latte. The latte was so creamy and rich! Not too sweet at all, really enjoyed it. Sandwich was delicious and toppings didn't fall out which is much appreciated - pimento cheese was very good and bread was crusty and yummy. The donut was cakey and just the right amount of sweetness. When we asked for hot sauce, they said to just choose any hot sauce from their display market and pop it open. Service was fast and super nice! Highly recommend this hidden gem.

    Scrumptious English muffin!
    Asher + Sydney G.

    The food is so good! The hot chocolate was very rich and chocolate-y! The service was great! The room was filled with beautiful plants and pots, it was gorgeous! The English muffin was incredible! We live within walking distance of like five Starbucks', but this beats them all! Definitely Recommend! Xo, A+S

    Chicken quesadilla.
    Murphy M.

    Only downside was limited seating but plenty of different kinds of seating options (couches, tables, plush chairs). I had the basic chicken quesadilla and I wasn't expecting as much food as I got! It was LOADED with chicken! Tasted very good as well. I had to take the other half home with me. The service is order at counter kind of place. All that being said... I would definitely go back and eat there again!

    This was one of our favorite bunch/sandwich spots in Charlotte. The sandwiches and food here is honestly unmatched. It's located in an office building which makes me jealous of the ppl that work here lol

    Namaste & Rose Arbol Eateey was newly opened in June 2022. It's a restaurant expresso bar that offers breakfast, smoothies, acai bowls etc. I went to this evenr on 8/27 & it was an extremely cute idea to have Yoga on an early Saturday morning followed by a 3-course Brunch catered by Arbol Eatery and picnic setup by QC Luxury Picnics. The food was absolutely delicious, I met some nice women & it was extremely refreshing. I do believe they will be having another event in 10/29, but stop by the restaurant for the amazing food in the interim.

    The chicken torta was delicious!

    Highly recommend Arbol Eatery. The chicken torta was delicious! I will definitely be back again soon.

    Chicken Torta
    Gregory B.

    Fast service, decent prices. Chicken Torta was good, definitely more of a "signature" sandwich, tasted great and came out looking good. The hibiscus drink was REALLY good. Chips come with the meal but they are limited to just original Lays and popcorn.

    El cubano sandwich

    Overall: great, would go again Vibe: chill cafe Food: the Cuban is as good as billed. Fresh ingredients, wonderful mixture of flavors. Pro tip: this place isn't easy to find but just get inside the building and wander around the lobby. It will come to your sight line before you get kicked out. Advanced tip: there is a book on one of the coffee tables that unveils an address to the best speakeasy in Charlotte. Good luck.

    So I would like to introduce you to the arbol eatery. First and foremost the space is amazing, peaceful and calm. The staff is amazing and help, fast and accommodating. When I tell you the flavors of the food I received were top notch then you will have to try cause it was in my top there so far. Now the latte I ordered basically a treat!! They've only been open a month or so and I think you'll like it if you go and visit them. It's in the same building as Morton's. Did I mention the staff was amazing ... see you there cause I will be back soon.

    WOWOWOWOWOW!!!!! What a beautiful, sacred, grounding space in the center of town. Edwin, the owner, is amazing, personable, and loves his community! Not to mention the food is fiyaaahhhhh - been eating his foods via his pop ups. Anna was very sweet as well - made great recommendations and welcome! The gorgeous space filled is carefully crafted with with plants (you can buy plants & pots!) & goodies for your home & LOVE. Look forward to escaping here when I'm in town. Highly recommend and already planning my next visit. Thank you Arbol!!

This was easily the worst experience I've ever had at a restaurant from start to finish. I'm not saying they're racist, but I can't say that they aren't. I'll let you be the judge of that. All I know is that none of the Caucasian people around me shared the same experience. Let me explain: We came for dinner before the Charlotte Orchestra show right across from the restaurant last Friday night. Let me start by saying that there were only 5-6 tables full at one time while we were there. I met my friend, who is also black, at 6:40; she had gotten there around 6:15 and placed her order. Not only had she not received her meal by the time I got there, 15 minutes later no one had come to our table to take my order until I flagged a waiter down and asked for our server. Meanwhile, every table that was sat around us was provided ice waters moments after arrival and their orders were taken promptly thereafter. When our waitress finally came to our table she either wasn't knowledgeable about the menu or didn't care enough to tell me what their current dip selection was, instead she said that she would check with the chef. I put in my order for the steakhouse burger that she recommended cooked medium and we waited a little over 15 minutes more before my friends burger came out and was taken to every table on the patio except ours before they took it back inside and then finally brought it back out to her. Needless to say the fries were cold at that point and the black bean burger was lukewarm. We were both starving so she reluctantly ate what she could before sitting it aside. I waited and waited for the waitress to come tell me what dips were in the trio appetizer before finally flagging her down as she passed our table without making eye contact. She finally told me and disappeared again after I added the trio to my order. My burger finally comes out over 30 minutes after I ordered it and it's raw, like pink all the way around and oozing bloody juices raw. I turn to my fries for sustenance and they are just meh but at least they're hot. Gotta celebrate the small wins. I show my waitress the raw burger and tell her that I don't want anything else because we didn't have time to wait since we're now late to our show due to the lack of service. She disappears again for so long that I had to go inside and find a manager who stated that they were "short staffed but that is no excuse." I accept the lame half apology and go back to wait for our check that never came. We had to go back inside and ask for it. When we did the manager finally said that he would comp both of our meals. That was the only highlight of the situation. I'm hopeful that the service has improved since this happened however I will continue to steer clear of this place.

This is a great go to place for good Indian food. If you're in the uptown area it's located below the Green parking lot, which is across from the Knight theater. It's just a good place even if you want a good drink at the bar. Enjoy!

    I recently stopped by the restaurant in the Charlotte Westin: Dogwood Southern Table and Bar. The…read morespace was airy, modern and light with a 360 degree bar, high ceilings and well spaced tables. I was intrigued by the item "Chef's Bite", that's it, no further explanation. As I suspected, it was an 'amuse bouche' offered from the kitchen. Today it was a Deviled Egg with a mustard-forward center, even containing black mustard seeds for flavor and crunch. As a fan of Sicilian arancini, I ordered the Dogwood's version as an appetizer. I was surprised to see several small rice balls, the size of hush puppies. I was expecting a single larger offering; 'arancini' after all mean orange in Italian. The risotto spheres were stuffed with pimento cheese and instead of the typical marina sauce, the kitchen had substituted a tomato jam with a subtle sweet finish. It was a successful southern riff on a Sicilian standard. Although I had been directed to order the Duck and Dumplings, my eye drifted to the Shrimp and Grits. I hadn't had much Carolinian food this trip.... The dish did not disappoint. It was amply loaded with flavorful shrimp and accented with good-quality andouille sausage slices, all over a well executed plate of grits. Service was prompt, professional and knowledgeable. This one is going in the book to return to.

Ridiculous. The Dinner Menu is posted on front of the restaurant AND online, with no mention the limited menu was the only option. Our server told us he completely understood our dissatisfaction, and said that we were welcome to go elsewhere. At that point, we didn't have the time to shift gears or we would have done so. While 3 of 4 couldn't get what we came in for, the food we had was good. Duck & Dumplings was probably the best dish. Two got the Shrimp & Grits and said it was good. My Ceasar Salad with chicken was pretty tasty, too. Service from Devon was very good and food runners delivered food to the right spots without prompting. I went back later in the evening for a bite and cocktail at the bar and I was completely ignored. Bartenders kept just clearing and taking orders from people walking up. Infuriating. Its a shame that the restaurant is just poorly managed.

They are inspired by the wine bars you would find in Italy, and it shows with their menu of fine pastas and rare wines. While they specialize more in smaller plates and pasta dishes they also have entrees available if you are extra hungry. We decided to start the night with a cheese board which featured some delicious deli meats and cheeses including a speckled dill cheese that I had never tried before but highly enjoyed! For my main dish I tried the braised duck pappardelle and it turned out to be one of my favorite pasta dishes I've had in quite some time. The thing I enjoyed most about this spot though were the vibes. It is a small space but didn't feel overcrowded and it's elegant and upscale without feeling stuffy or unwelcoming. It can serve as a date spot, a night out with friends, or even a happy hour with coworkers if you want to try some delicious wine and sample some smaller plates. I've been told that you also have the option to order off of Aria's menu which is great that they are so accommodating for their guests. Not a lot of places would allow that so it really speaks to their commitment to hospitality. This was one of my favorite dining experiences I've had in years and I will be urging all of my friends to check it out so they don't miss out like I did for years.
