Had a table for one at the bar. Conversational staff, quick service, and delicious food.

Andrea T.

Popped in for the 9year anniversary event and it was nothing less than excellent! Food is always good and fresh, the wine and cocktails were good and the service was amazing!! Highly recommended!!

Crab cakes
Taylor H.

Food was good and loved the atmosphere! They have a sommelier that walks around suggesting wines which was a very nice touch!

Bryan K.

Dilworth was an awesome experience. They have a diverse variety of small plates to choose from. I recommend grabbing some of your friends and just ordering an assortment. The humus was my favorite. They are all flavored so well. Service was good but nothing too notable. We had to ask a couple times to ask what some things are as they didn't seem to review the food as it was delivered. We sat outside on the patio. The weather was perfect and we had a great experience.

Charcuterie board, red wine
Erica I.

ADORABLE place with beautiful outdoor seating. The food was a bit expensive but so delicious!!! We ordered the BEST charcuterie board, and the meatballs were very solid and juicy. Serving sizes are not big, so you'll need to order a few dishes. The service was alright, nothing exceptional, but no complaints. Overall 10/10 date spot!

Samantha M.

Time was had on the upstairs, very cute for a private party with a nice intimate bar. Drinks were strong the the appetizers yum.

Lamb Meatbals

First time dining here. Started with a cheese board & it was delicious. Drinks were super yummy as well. We were the only people sitting inside it was nice. Our waiter was very attentive - a bit pricey but we expected that

Sarah A.

We had such a wonderful experience here! The service was amazing and incredibly fast. Jose was our server and he went above and beyond to accommodate all of our needs--truly outstanding. The wine selection was absolutely delicious, and it's clear this will be a staple date night spot for us. The patio seating is so romantic and made the evening even more special. Highly recommend!

Truffle gnocci
Kathryn E.

All I have to say is wow!!! Came here for a date night and would 100% visit again! My partner made a reservation in advance which I would strongly recommend as it was quite busy for a Monday night. I can see why though, the ambiance was so lovely- I adored sitting near the koi pond on the outside garden patio! The flatbread came out first (we ordered it without olives) and it was perfect. Loved my drink as well- it had great flavor (was not overpowered by the spirits used). The gnocci was delightful, although I agree with another reviewer than it could've used an additional flavor note to make the taste deeper/richer (gets a little redundant the more you eat). The Brussels sprouts were the real show stopper... they were bursting with flavor and the combination of the textures (crispy, melt in your mouth, plus a crunch from pecans) was unbeatable! They also reheated well the next day as leftovers.

Mediterranean Salad
Alexandra M.

Dinner at DTR was incredible!! A girlfriend and I came here on a Thursday evening and it was a perfect vibe. We enjoyed lots of delicious plates that were perfect to share between two people and my glass of Pinot Noir and her espresso martini hit the spot. Our server, Willy, was so much fun, so kind and attentive to our every need. Ask for him when you come! We will most definitely be back!!

Charcuterie board
Maxine C.

We sat on the garden patio and it was lovey! Drinks, food and service were amazing. We got espresso martinis, a charcuterie board, the salmon, & bruschetta--all delicious 10/10!

Tuna Carpaccio
Bruce K.

Coming here since everywhere else was packed, I thought to try this place out since it was raved about. Dilworth Tasting Room is a neighborhood type of restaurant. Drinks, small plates, etc. It's a spot where you get drinks, get drunk, then walk home. They have a limited menu, tapas, and that's about it. If you're coming here for a full meal (as I was) this isn't really the type of place to do it. When we got here, we were seated. It was absolutely freezing in the restaurant. I think the seating in the basement contributed to that. This place used to be a billiards spot, but it has been transformed into a neighborhood restaurant. We got the Tuna Carpaccio, Truffle Gnocchi, Truffle Chips, Shroom Flatbread, and the Prosciutto flatbread. All of that we were full, but I think the experience was soured by the amount of waiting to get our food. I would say this place is again more focused on drinks and less about food. Bar food, and drinks is what keeps this place going and the food is definitely a secondary income. I would say this place is mediocre as far as that, but great for the vibes if you're bar hopping. I most likely won't be coming back to visit, but I would recommend this place if you live nearby and you want drinks with friends.

Shrimp

Had a girls night out at DTR at the recommendation of one of my friends. We sat inside due to it being chilly but apparently the patio has the best seating. We had a reservation as did most everyone else coming in. This place fills up quick! We each had a glass of wine to start. Glasses are in the 11-14$ range. There are at least 5 reds and 5 whites to choose from. There are also plenty of bottles available for purchase. We split a few small plates: the truffle chips, honey shrimp , and burrata. The food was really good and easy to share. I loved the big portion of burrata .. was definitely enough for 3 of us. The truffle chips were perfectly crisp and came with an aioli. Service was efficient but our main waitress appeared brusque. In fact when she approached us about our check we all looked at each other and commented that it felt like we were being kicked out. All in all a good spot. Looks excellent for date nights too! Street parking was surprisingly easy. Will be back.

It was a Friday night two weeks before Christmas, but it was only 5:45pm so I feel like we got lucky. We were able to walk in and be seated right away. We ordered cocktails and embraced the tapas menu, ordering too many things to sample and share. We sadly had to leave some of it behind. Our waitress was a sweetheart and though the restaurant space was big and open, the warm wood and exposed brick inside made it feel welcoming and cozy. There was enough room between tables that we didn't feel crammed in and the table was big enough to hold all the delicious goodness. I felt like two top tables can sometimes barely hold your water glass and bread plate. We head to Charlotte pretty regularly for various things, and I would like to bring our teenage boys back sometime. I think they would really like the menu and style of the restaurant.

As for the current menu: I really like the watermelon caprese salad, scallops, and curry chicken tacos.

The bar area was busy but we managed to snag two seats on the side without too much trouble -- seat yourself setup. Here's where it gets a little mixed. My partner stepped away to use the restroom and I sat there for a while while one of the bartenders walked back and forth past me, clearly focused on closing duties, without so much as a glance or a menu in my direction. Not the worst thing in the world but when you're sitting at a bar alone it's hard not to notice. Fortunately another bartender came over, clocked that I was just sitting there unattended, and immediately smiled and handed me a menu before taking both of our orders. She turned it around quickly and that kind of awareness goes a long way. Shoutout to her. I ordered a 3oz pour of Syrah -- pretty decent, did the job. We didn't order food so I can't speak to that. The overall vibe was chill and low key for a late Friday night, which was exactly what we needed. Would come back for a proper visit earlier in the evening and give the food menu a real shot.

It was probably 15 minutes before the server came back to tell us that they were out of chicken bowls. We then ordered the Moroccan pie. The fritters came out first. Incredible. There were crunchy and chewy and full of flavor. They sure set the bar high with this one! Unfortunately the rest of the meal was inconsistent. The cauliflower was cooked well and had a nice spice, but was lacking maybe salt. It was still good. The avocado bowl- avocado was fresh; the olive brine was interesting, but offered the seasoning that was needed; the quinoa, tomatoes, and onions had no seasoning or flavor at all; the feta and tzatziki were good. Individually, nothing was particularly great, but eaten together it was tasty. The Moroccan pie was also good, but heavily sweetened maybe with honey and dusted with powdered sugar. This wasn't in the description. The chicken was well seasoned and tasty, but overall pretty sweet. When it came time for the check, again, service was slow. We managed somehow to get done with a few minutes to spare. The inconsistency makes it difficult to want to come back. But those fritters get all the stars.

It was grilled and nice and crispy. For drinks, one of my friends ordered the rosé wine flight, I ordered their house red wine, and my other friend ordered wine as well. The wine selection was good so we are pleased with that. It was our main entrées that we ordered that we were not pleased with. For example, I ordered the steak skewer, which I understood would be a small plate, but when it came out to find that it was just one skewer was a little bit misleading, and I wish that I had ordered something else because that was not enough for my dinner. Our server didn't come back to check on us after our food arrived so I wasn't even able to add any more small plates. In addition, my friend did not enjoy her pasta at all, and I tried to bite, and it was not good. Only my friend who ordered the Bolognese pasta was pleased with her dinner choice. Due to our server not coming back to our table to check on us and also didn't really give us suggestions of what to order or how to order I wasn't very pleased with our experience. I don't know if I would come back because honestly, the meal was pretty mid for how expensive it was priced. The inside of the restaurant is cute and the patio as well but the food is mid and expensive for the service to be so poor.
