Bar

We traveled to Charlotte today for family time and found this restaurant near our destination. We got to town early and decided to eat. I got the bruschetta and mozzarella sticks. The bruschetta was on bread that was very soft in the center with crispy edges. It was perfect. Huge slice of mozzarella, which was made in house. On top of that was the diced tomato glazed with balsamic. The mozzarella sticks were crispy. They gave me a basket of complementary garlic knots, which were absolutely amazing with homemade marinara sauce. They have a large selection of beer, wine and liquor with 18 local drafts on tap. The staff was super kind and brought me a box for my leftovers with smaller containers for the sauces. This place is super nice inside with several televisions and music. The bar area is my favorite. Two appetizers and three beers with the knots was only $40 bucks! Well worth the stop.

This was the first time my fiancé and I have eaten here and it was great! Myles was amazing the best server. The food was really good and flavorful. I got the vodka penne and my husband got the Montana pizza and we were thrilled. Great service and great atmosphere!

Calamari

I had a good time with my wife. Great drinks and food. This place is a secluded bar next to Mario's Italian Restaurant. They have outdoor seating which made me feel safe during COVID. Servers are wearing masks. This is definitely a bar to relax and have a good time. Great Service!

Chicken Marsala

I can only give this place 1/2 of a 5 star review because it, along with Mario's next door are actually the same kitchen! The owners are from NY too! The Mario side is sedate, and looked like a very nice place to eat. John's next door is a sports bar that will remind you somewhat of an Appleby's, but has a much more personalized touch to it. And the place was jamming when I went there for dinner Saturday. The food was excellent of course, as was everything else in there. I had the Chicken Marsala, and it was very good. Next time I will try the Saturday Prime Rib special. The whole experience was very nice, and very close by. I'll be back, - again, and again,- and you know,- again!

Fra diavolo seafood dish with calamari, shrimp, claims and scallops

The service was awesome!! The waitress was very friendly and attentive to our needs. I ordered a peach drink, which was not strong enough for my taste. However, the waitress recommended something else that was totally my preference; this demonstrated her attention to details and consideration on other's preferences. I can't complain about the atmosphere we had here. However, if I had come in during regular (non-Covid time), this place would have received a four star from me. I grade most restaurants five stars based on: quality, quantity, service (waiter/waitress' s courtesy, atmosphere/cleanliness, and above-and-beyond (what else they offered that distinguishes themselves). I ordered a "seafood medley " pasta dish. From this dish, I can tell the techniques were perfected. They used fresh house-made pasta sauce mixed with stir-fried seafood mix and added everything to the pasta that has been cooked to perfection. Then, the resulting mixture was baked to perfection in the oven. It was fresh and hot. Technique-wise, everything was perfect. However, the scallop was tasteless; scallops' smell was fishy but it was tasteless. That means they picked the freshest frozen scallop they could have got their hand to since it maintained the texture. But scallop was pre-frozen. The same thing could be said of the clams and shrimp. So, bottom line, their technique was great, their ingredients, not so much to boast. That was the reason they would have earned four star review from me if it had been non-Covid time.
