    Hestia sits 16 floor above Ballantyne and it is sexy and the food is amazing. I recentl6 went to a kaiseki sake experience and I absolutely loved it. The food was delicious, the service was consistently outstanding, and the sake was next level. All of the dinners had an opportunity to buy bottles of what was poured. I will definitely be back.

    This is the salmon, chicken, Curry Rice and White Truffle Macaroni.

    Came here and the food was good, but it was more expensive than expected. It took over 1.5 hours to get our food, and when we asked about the delay, we were told they were backed up. However, we noticed people who arrived after us received their food before we did. They also automatically add a 20% gratuity.

    Old Fashion-first one was watered down but they came correct on the second.

    Loved the atmosphere Hestia was giving--great vibe overall. The service was excellent, and every staff member we interacted with was friendly. Our server was truly amazing. Unfortunately, the food was a bit underwhelming in my opinion. The flavors felt muted, and even the dishes that had potential didn't quite deliver enough. I'm glad we finally checked it off our list, but if it were up to me, it wouldn't be a repeat visit.

    Visited on Friday Feb 13th and had a fabulous time! Had reservations for two at 7:30pm and it was already buzzing with excitement. We were immediately sat and immediately taken our drink orders. Our waitress was super friendly and efficient. They offered lemon, lime, and orange slices for your water which I thought was a GREAT touch as im a lover of lemon in my water. Husband and I decided on their "Love of sea" Valentines dinner. Consisted of two lobster tails and a 20oz Tomahawk steak with broccolini, coconut curry rice and fingerling potatoes. It was very delicious! The steak was cooked medium and perfection. The lobster tails were very tasty and there was not a thing wrong with the meal. Everything has cooked perfectly and was very flavorful. We will definitely come back and try other things on their menu. It is a little pricey but I feel like its worth it. The drinks were delicious as well. Tried a Valentines rose infused drink, it was not my favorite as rose isnt a preferred taste of mine in a drink but other than that, no other complaints! Located in ballantyne shopping center. During peak times, parking can be hectic and crazy but they do have a parking deck to help make it easier.

    Beautiful on the inside. Service was attentive and food was great. They gave you a nice break in between dishes for conversation and digestion. Only issue was the entrance lobby with the elevator. It had a STRONG foul smell and I was hesitant to go up stairs because I didn't know if the smell was coming from upstairs.

    Was meeting up with my best friend and she wanted me to try it because she knew how much I loved Sushi! Upon exiting the elevators you have arrived at the Hestia rooftop experience and trust me it is just that whether you sit indoors or out. We went in the evening so the lighting was just right. Not too bright and not too dark. Started the night off with appetizers: Spicy Edamame and the Japanese Curry Crab Dip. Then ordered a few rolls because well I love sushi and when in "Rome", along with a bottle of J Lohr Cabernet. Our waiter was excellent and he checked on us frequently but not too much of that makes sense. I can't wait to go back when it's warmer so I can experience the outside vibe!

    We sat out on the rooftop, the ceiling keeps changing, if lights bother you I wouldn't sit outside. Berkin was our server, he was is sweet. My sushi lacked flavor but my husband said his was phenomenal. I also got the waygu meatballs(delicious), my husband got the short loin medium rare, it was good. Great place to go and relax.

    The food is delicious and the aesthetics are warm and the music is upbeat. Our waitress Tony was superb! I will return.

    Had a birthday dinner at this restaurant. The staff, atmosphere, service, and food were just perfect. Was definitely a grown and sexy vibe. We had a variety of sushi which was absolutely delicious. I would definitely come back again and recommend for any special occasion.

    Chocolate mousse, crème brûlée

    Favorite sushi spot in Charlotte! The rolls are unique. The nigiri sampler comes with a great selection of fish and is worth it. Ask for wasabi on the side if you don't want it on the nigiri!

    Ambience... tomahawk table side
    Apryl P.

    It's definitely a solid 4 almost 3.9. It's a beautiful location. But it's pricey and what you're really paying for is the ambiance not the food. The food was "mid". The service was aight.. in fairness they were very busy. Great for a date not a plate.

    Jennie N.

    We tried the AWA roll, Seared Scallop Roll, and the wagyu carpaccio. It was delicious! I think they have one of the best sushi chefs in Charlotte. Prices are high but look at the location. You definitely get the quality for it and the sushi chef is passionate about the sushi and the menu always changes so you can get something new in every visit!

    Where do I Park my car while dining at Hestia Rooftop?

    I parked in the garage and my family parked out front in a general parking area.

    I've been attempting to call the phone number listed on OpenTable to schedule a reservation to no success. What's the best way to contact the restaurant?

    To be honest, it's sometimes hard to get in contact with the restaurant during open hours. But if you're trying to make a reservation, I would suggest setting alerts on OpenTable for when you'll like to go. It works best, in my opinion, if you… Read more

I am still thinking about it after a week. The Hot and Sour soup was not a win for me. The flavor was a bit off and not something I enjoyed. I have had others in the area a lot better than this one.

    Decided to give this spot another try since it is so close to my house but spoiler alert,…read moreunfortunately it is no better than the last time I tried it which was when it first opened here in Blakeney a couple of years back. Checked out the specials and saw "Lunch special Buy any specialty roll and get one classic roll (from specified list) free", so I figured why not give this a shot. Not a ton of non-cooked specialty roll options which is understandable as most sushi places in the local area cater to the audience which apparently loves cooked and deep fried "sushi", but hey, can't blame a place for meeting their customers where they are, so no issues with that. The list of specialty rolls to choose from all pretty much priced between 14.95-16.95 (does not include Rai Lay Favorites) and the list of free classic roll options all priced at 6.95. Does not include rolls like spicy scallop or any eel rolls. In terms of the food, there was a solid amount of fish in each piece, which was a welcome change from some of the other places in town which have reduced portion sizes while increasing price points. Given that the food was solid, they will avoid the dreaded 1-star review, but 2 is the ceiling because... Unfortunately, service is where this place went off a cliff, as first of all they failed miserably when it came to the water refill test, as my water glass sat empty for 5+ minutes with no server in sight. In fact, I actually finished my meal and never had a server come by for any reason at any time after my food was dropped off by someone else. No checking to see how the food was, no asking if I needed anything (water maybe?), and never even came by to give me my chance until I started to get up and go up to the hostess stand to ask for my bill. Then lo and behold, the case of the disappearing server was solved as she magically appeared as I was standing up (sigh). She dropped off the bill, then left again to wherever who knows. Given that I didn't have another endless amount of time in my life to waste, I just left cash on the table and left, and as I was walking out I noticed she was leaning against the wall doing nothing. How fitting... No more then 3-4 customers in the restaurant while I was there, so it wasn't busy at all. This was a case in my opinion of apathy, mediocrity or just plain not caring at all, which of course is the right of any restauant employee, just like it is my right to call out horrible service and choosing to spend my hard earned dollars elsewhere, which I will be doing, as I have given them multiple chances and based on how each experience has gone, it tells me they don't care if I come back or not, which is unfortunate, given how close it is to me, but proximity does not excuse mediocrity, so I will simply wish them the best in their future endeavours.

Pretty good size shopping plaza and it's a standalone building. Don't have to walk thru the plaza dealing with people. Park and walk right in. For me, service is what made it just an OK experience. It was a little late for dinner but the restaurant was still open. I understand the side work for closing as I've been in the field before but if you have a table, it should be a focus on the guests not the other way around. There was a mix up on the bill and the annoyance on her face seemed as if she felt it was my fault. But she did fix the issue almost seeming begrudgingly. I'll also mention that I had to flag down other staff for refills, as well as the bill. And you know how it goes - one thing is off and it makes for a forgettable experience. But I will say that dinner was fine. See pics. Can't complain about prices or portions but when I was annoyed, I was just eating to eat. I don't know anyone out here whose tastes for Sushi/Sashimi aligns with mine so it's hard to say whether I'd go back or not. First, obviously I don't live there and second, more places I'd probably want to try before I go back for service like I experienced that night. But it's probably not likely
