    Lobster tacos
    Zhana E.

    I've now gone here for brunch and dinner and both are fantastic. Much like their other restaurants, they have turned an old space into a vibrant location, the ambiance is amazing. The colors with the light throughout the main room is splendid for a brunch. Now to the food - do not skip the mini tacos....if you think you don't have room, make some. They are only 2 bites but delightful! Another hot tip...don't skip dessert - not a bad one on the menu! Service has been superb both times I went, the staff knows the menu in and out and they give excellent reccomendations. I can't wait to bring my friends and family here when they visit.

    Side Caesar Salad

    THIS IS THE BEST BRUNCH I HAVE EVER HAD!!! This was my last day in Charlotte visiting a friend and she was recommended we check this place out for brunch before I head home and WOW!! Not only is it BEAUTIFUL and the service beyond amazing (Thank you to our server Yasmin whose first day it was back after traveling, you were awesome!) I had the best omelette I've ever had in my life! So happy we chose to order a side of Fried Potatoes and I was not a big fan of the side Caesar salad. The Monkey Bread originally came out not great but they immediately brought us out a fresh and delicious order. My Tropical Mimosa so so refreshing and my friend would not stop raving about the coffee. 10/10 experience will definitely be back next time I come to visit!

    Loved this place!!! Came here for dinner Friday night with reservations and seated right away. The restaurant is so cute! Our server Myrna was outstanding--friendly, attentive and offered great food recommendations. Started off with Hawaiian Rolls, Yuzu Yellowtail Crudo, and the Bone Marrow & Shrimp. The bone marrow & shrimp was so flavorful, one of my favorite dishes. Highly recommend the 16oz. Wagyu Picanha--meat was tender and cooked perfectly. The Jerk Duck was good too, however, a bit dry--may have been better if accompanied with a sauce. Creamed Onion and Confit Domino Potato were great sides too! Tried the Frozen Pina Colada--was not a fan of this, tasted extremely sour and texture was too thick (had dragonfruit and mezcal swirl in it), but was able to exchange it for a different cocktail. We were so full at the end so we didn't get to try desserts, next time!

    What a great place for a special ovation dinner date! Service was great. Street parking available. The food was exceptional. Unique combinations of flavors and textures. That island cake was perfection!

    I'm a big fan of Ever Andalo and Supperland so I knew I needed to try Leluia Hall, a partner restaurant. It did not disappoint. The restaurant itself is very unique and beautiful with a great ambiance. The staff was incredibly attentive and friendly. Cocktails hit the spot. The food was some of the best we've had in Charlotte. Our favorite dish on the menu was the Seasonal Stracciatella followed by the sea bass and tiny tacos (yellowtail sashimi and wagyu ribeye). Leluia Hall is now easily at the top of my favorite restaurants in Charlotte!

    First time here and it was a good experience. First, the parking is only street parking or you can park in the lot. The place is pretty and spacious. We sat upstairs. We got the scallops which was delicious, the side of onions was okay, not my favorite. The masa and cheese was yummy. Everything there was yummy, nothing to complain about. The drinks were also delicious. Service was good, very nice and good staff. I would come here again.

    More, please!! Loved it! We were so impressed with how the building has been restored, honored, and, yet, repurposed. Wonderful vibes, as the kids say. Service that's 100% welcoming and attentive from the first steps in the door, it's easy to fall in love by this place. Next time I might just eat off the starter list as there are so many pleasurable treats. You'll call your mama and shame her for ever baking frozen fish sticks after treating LH's version. The mini tacos are fun and full and flavorful. The yellowtail crudo almost had ME having a "I'll have what she's having" moment. The sugar steaks are delightful, and the 10oz filet well prepared (we didn't add any accoutrements) and cutable with a fork. Th halibut was the special fish and was, indeed, special. Buttery for sure, but the vegetables and tomato sauce in which it came (just enough wisps without overwhelming) lifted it to a new level. Then, the desserts. Yowza! The cheesecake and the fudge cake. Those were both When Harry Met Sally moments for her. Gimmie more!!

    I've driven past this spot several times without realizing it was actually on my list of places to try. The location is so unique--definite Supperland vibes. We sat upstairs and had a gorgeous view of the entire restaurant. It's truly a beautiful space. Service was outstanding. Our server offered helpful suggestions, knew the menu well, responded quickly, and was incredibly patient. This was a small ladies' outing to celebrate a birthday, and everything flowed perfectly. No disappointments at all. Food & Drinks: * Oysters Delicious * Cocktails Perfectly balanced * Branzino + Chilean sea bass Big hit * My "boring" chicken Not boring at all--amazingly flavorful! Overall, such a great experience. I'd absolutely come back!

    Cocktails 10/10, Ambiance 10/10, Food 9/10 My dish was amazing (Chilean sea bass wrapped in sweet potato + stracciatella appetizer), my friends jerk duck was a bit too salty and he had to shove some of the seasoning off. The Hawaiian rolls were so good! Service was ok.... The front hosts were super friendly and inviting and social but our actual waiter was...cold. Not the friendliest and just seemed ready to go home. That aside...I'd highly recommend this place and frankly I'll be back next weekend :)

    This place has been living rent free in my head since the rumblings of its opening began. Finally popped in for a birthday dinner last night. It did not disappoint! Have you ever had/heard of creamed onions?! You're welcome. The total revamp is splendid, courtesy of the team who brought us Supperland. We also enjoyed the scallops with trumpet mushrooms and lemon risotto. Delicious. You MUST try the Chilean sea bass wrapped in sweet potato. Loved the Hawaiian rolls to start. Everything we had was wonderful, and Brennan was a terrific server!

    Crispy rice 2/5
    Kristy A.

    Grabbed an early dinner with friends on a Saturday. Parking was easy, as I found a spot on the street right in front of the building. Our table was ready upon arrival. The first thing I noticed is that the building is beautiful. A former church, it's clear that the owners went to great lengths to achieve the aesthetic here. Service was great from beginning to end. 5/5. Unfortunately the food was so so. Perhaps I should've gotten a steak, but nothing that I tasted was great. I had the sea bass wrapped in sweet potato. We were told that it was a large portion, appropriate for sharing. the portion size was not larger than normal and definitely not big enough for sharing, but sufficient for a single serving. The sea bass was bland. A little salt and pepper or maybe a little lemon squeeze could've gone a long way. The scallops were tasty and the sauce the scallops were in -beurre blanc - was the highlight of the meal. Don't fall for the crispy rice. I'm not sure whether it's undercooked or overcooked rice, but it's just hard rice with a little paprika that's hard to eat. Maybe they left the rice on too long and rather than throwing it away, they called it crispy rice. You can't complain about it being hard because it's called CRISPY RICE. But I was expecting something..... better. Brussels sprouts were fine. Friends ordered Stracciatella. I didn't like it, but that was my first time and I don't think it was cooked wrong. I think I just don't like stracciatella. My friends enjoyed it. Tamales were a daily special and solid. Desert was fine. I will return and try something different. Either steak or something from the raw bar. While the food was meh, the ambiance and service made up for it.

    Lobster tiny tacos
    Meena P.

    Restaurant in an old Church, serving dinner and now brunch on The Weekend. Great place for our girls Christmas brunch. Service was fabulous, everyone here is trained well and very friendly. The place itself is quite grand. Really nice bar, great old school detail, nice space and design . They have a nice private space on the basement you can rent for private parties. The welcome lobby area is really nice. I loved the seating. We got seated straight away, unfortunately close to the door and it was cold so we kept getting blasts of cold air every time the door opened. This was my only negative. The food and drinks were awesome. They have a nice menu. Lots of unique dishes and some classics. We had a bottle of the Blanc de Blancs. Super bubbly and effervescent. They come round with a water enhancing plate, which is nice, fresh fruits to pick from to flavor your water. We ordered a few different dishes for the table starting with the tiny tacos! 2 per serving, yes tiny but loaded. We tried the lobster, wagyu ribeye tartare and fried avocado . All were awesome, the wagyu being my favorite. The truffle aioli and Serrano in this made it so decadent. The house made masa shells I loved too. Could have eaten more of these! Then we tried the yuzu yellowtail crudo. Delicious. So fresh, great flavors. The fish sticks is a must get and my favorite dish. Cod, lobster and shrimp mousse wrapped in panko served with house made tartar. Not your average fish stick! Not oily at all but light and airy inside. The stracciatella was ok, really well presented but a little bland. I liked the cornmeal flatbread. The cheese itself was very watery the chili oil was good. Crab Louie board was something different. Deconstructed crab salad essentially. Veggies serviced with fresh crab and their own dressings, liked the radish and asparagus. The half moon potato cakes were ok. A little disappointing as they were oily and very flat. Not a redo. The horchata coffee cake was yummy and it disappeared quickly ! The latte and coffee was great too and I loved the cups they come in! Very classy dishes and silverware. Really nice place and we enjoyed our brunch. Couple of the dishes I would not get again but overall everything was great. We were just cold the whole time as well. So try and get seating not by the door! Like to come back and have drinks at the bar which seemed really nicely stocked and maybe more tiny tacos!

    We enjoyed our first visit to Leluia Hall! We're big Supperland, Ever Andalo, etc. fans, so we were excited to come in on our anniversary to celebrate. The positives: - The space is absolutely gorgeous - you can tell how much love they put into restoring this old Charlotte gem - The drinks were excellent - fun that they have a bit of a tiki vibe with those! - The food was also excellent. We shared the bone marrow with shrimp and homemade purple masa tortillas (incredibly flavorful and unique), the picanha sugar-rubbed steak (beautifully seasoned and cooked), the potatoes (definitely crispier than we expected but good) and the creamed onions (the star of the show in my book - the sauce they came in was addictive, and the onions were beautiful). - Dessert was stellar - one of the best basque-style cheesecakes I've ever tasted! The critiques; - Our waiter was not very friendly. The hosts downstairs were wonderful and made us feel very welcome (they even let us explore the wine cellar downstairs!), but it felt our waiter was having a bad night or something - he barely engaged with us and wasn't super attentive. - The air conditioning seemed to stop halfway through our meal, which wouldn't have been as noticeable if we had been downstairs, but it got pretty warm up in the mezzanine (granted, we did come on one of the hottest days of the year, but we didn't expect to be warm indoors). - The mezzanine in general - it was a cool space, but the vibe and excitement seemed to be on the main level. All in all, we would definitely come back and give Leluia Hall another shot (I really want to try one of the seafood entrees!). It often takes a few months to work the kinks out, and the food was extremely memorable!

    Located inside an old chair, this place was amazing! Cool,…read morecasual yet elegant, service was outstanding and the food was really delicious and fresh. We came for brunch and they almost had to roll us out of there. They passed around oysters, shrimp cocktail and grilled pineapple with honey. Three different food stations: meat, vegetable and shrimp skewers was one; your choice of southern ham (prosciutto basically) or crab cake eggs benedicts was the second one and the third one I don't remember (mostly because I didn't quite make it there). In the middle they had lobster deviled eggs, assorted tea sandwiches and a small section with desserts. Everything was delicious and made with fresh ingredients. Yes, it's expensive but so well worth it!! Parking can be an issue but the good thing is, you can walk off a little of everything that you ate so that's a win!

    It wasn't worth the price tbh for brunch. I will update my review or make a new one if we go to…read moredinner and maybe that was our mistake. $78 per person from brunch wasn't that great. They barely brought around food like the French toast bites. They kept bringing around oysters and literally no table wanted them that I saw. It wasn't that busy either, tons of empty tables. Instead they held off the arguably best dish of the house: French toast bites. We FINALLY got them at the end of our meal before we left but had to stalk the waiter for them. For $78 there should be way more rotations of the better dishes. Our waiter was great and atmosphere is gorgeous. Playing, food quality and everything was average. The highlight was the poached eggs, eggs Benedict, bacon, potatoes, skewers and everything else was okay. Not better than like Golden Corral or a standard buffet. My opinion is skip the brunch for that price, unless you really like oysters LOL. Also if I had little kids, would never waste money on brunch here.

Two of my personal standouts are the Beetle Juice, which incorporates fresh beet juice, and The Fishbone, which brilliantly highlights their house-made aquavit.

We ordered a mix of a lot of things but I will talk about the Oak Burger. Steakhouse Wedge, Truffle Fries & Salmon. Our waitress was overwhelmed and was not new but could use a bit more training on how to share & offer specials to everyone at the table if they are available. The oak burger. Although you appreciate a big burger (especially when it's $20) but you also want to be able to bite it. Just my 2 cents, make it more flat & round instead of thick and round. The flavor was good but because of how it's served, it was really hard to eat when you are dressed up. Even cutting it with a knife wasn't a good option. One of the specials was the Salmon. I was shocked this was served at this restaurant. It was thin with the skin still on it and the skin wasn't even crispy. I've purchased a better piece of salmon FROZEN at Costco! It was a huge disappointment. The drinks were great but when someone orders a drink with a big ice rock, share that you get a pour and a half so there is no question later. The absolute best thing on the menu was the Oak chocolate cake & the Steakhouse wedge salad! I could have ordered 2 wedge salads and cocktails and been fine! I can't say enough about the wedge salad. We also got the Candied beat salad. The 2 of those salads mixed, incredible. I will share that the only reason I gave it 3 stars and not less was the salad and cake. Everything else was average and without a doubt the salmon should be taken off the menu if that's what they plan to serve to guests at that price point.

I came off of a recommendation from a family friend, and they assured me I would have a great experience at any point in time and with any server. Though, They did recommend Victor. And Victor walked me through everything I needed. He anticipated my needs. He answered my questions and he came through with recommendations. The steaks that we ordered were technically proficient, and seasoned with authority, to complement their dry aging process. We ordered the New York and a fillet mignon. Our sides included a baked potato, Caesar salads, and buttered broccoli. I became a little creative and I dragged my fillet mignon through the buttered sauce from the broccoli and I didn't think it could get better than that. When Victor mentioned that we should just buy a bottle of wine, his recommendation was fantastic. We got the bottle of Oberon.

For our sides, we chose a Caesar salad, cheesy fried potatoes, garlic mashed potatoes, and balsamic brussels sprouts. The steak was so tender and savory. Absolutely loved it.

Their high end places like Capitol Grill, Seasons 52 and Ruth Chris have declined significantly in the past years. But Eddie V's has been in my list for a while. We were incredibly surprised at the high end quality, service, variety and experience we had in this location. We went for an anniversary dinner celebration and everything we ordered was perfect. The steak tartar made at the table, fresh oysters in half shelf were very nicely presented, the meat and the lobster were excellent, free dessert complimentary of the restaurant, and best of all, we did not break the bank. The atmosphere sophisticated but not stuffy. Live instrumental pop music provided a nice ambiance without being disruptive. And the service was par none. Very professional, attentive and knowledgeable folks. We will return.

    I rarely write negative reviews, which is why this one is so disappointing for me. I've dined at…read moreEddie V's before and have always associated it with exceptional food and impeccable service. Unfortunately, this Restaurant Week visit was nothing like the Eddie V's I remembered. I dined solo at the bar and actually had to ask for the Restaurant Week menu. I chose the upgraded lobster bisque (+$5) and Chilean sea bass (+$10), looking forward to treating myself. I rarely splurge on a nice dinner, so this was something I had been excited about all day. The food was mixed. The lobster bisque was flavorful, although the amount of lobster was surprisingly small. The mashed potatoes were outstanding, and the asparagus was very good. The Chilean sea bass was cooked well but lacked seasoning and wasn't the memorable entrée I expected. The biggest disappointment, however, was the service. The restaurant was less than half full during my visit, so the extended delays were especially surprising. I waited an unusually long time for my entrée while guests who arrived after me were served first. Another surprise was that the only restroom I was directed to required going down to the basement, which was difficult with my mobility issues (I need my knee replaced). I would encourage the restaurant to make it clearer whether there is an accessible restroom available on the main floor, as this could be challenging for many guests. After another long wait for dessert, I asked to have my crème brûlée boxed because the delays meant I would now be walking back to my hotel after dark. I explained that I had intentionally walked there for exercise and had planned to walk back before dark. The response I received was simply, "Just call an Uber." That completely missed the point. I wasn't asking for transportation--I was explaining how the delays had changed my evening. To add to the confusion, I was given two desserts instead of the one I requested. While I appreciate the gesture if it was intended that way, it reinforced the feeling that no one was really listening. What disappointed me most wasn't simply the wait. It was the complete lack of service recovery. No sincere apology, no acknowledgment of how long I'd waited, and no effort to make the experience feel special. I've always thought of Eddie V's as one of Charlotte's premier dining experiences. That's exactly why this visit was so disappointing. I sincerely hope this was an isolated experience because I'd like to remember Eddie V's for the exceptional restaurant it has been in the past.

    Celebrating my 55th birthday with a brunch at Crunkleton. This was my first visit, but will…read moredefinitely not be my last. First and foremost, our waiter, Alan was the best! I'm talking top tier, Veuve Clicquot Brut service...with a little spice...Best! He was so accommodating and keep us laughing the entire time. He went out of his way to make my day special! We started with beignets, oysters on the half shell and cocktails. Espresso Martinis, a Dirty Martini, and a specialty cocktail made to order. It may sound like a weird combination, but it all paired well together. I was in the mood for beef. So, I ordered the Wagyu Brunch Burger- 1/2 lb Wagyu, Over-Easy Egg, Grilled Bacon, Cheddar Cheese, Hollandaise, Avocado Spread, Brioche Bun, Garlic and Herb Fries. The fam had the Veggie Ranchero omelet- Seasonal Beans, Grilled Corn, Pico de Gallo, Poblano, Cheddar, Avocado, Tortilla Strips, Ranchero, Chipotle-Lime Crema, and a Hashbrown Casserole. Fingerling Breakfast potatoes, with a side of bacon and eggs, and another Hashbrown Casserole. Everything was cooked to perfection. I had such a great time and can't wait to return. I even made a recommendation to a friend who dined there Labor Day weekend and enjoyed her experience. I'll be back soon for sure!

    I heard great things about food, ambiance and service. Greeted by a small team at the door…read moreimmediately. Next we experienced top tier service from Tay. He recommended the chargrilled oysters as well as the crab cakes which did not disappoint. I prefer handcrafted cocktails and this is exactly what you're going to experience at Crunkleton. Not only did I inhale my blackberry gin based drink but I was extremely pleased with the birthday beignets. If that's not enough, we devoured a third of our tomahawk steak, the strawberry salad and my favorite item of the night were the mixed vegetables that accompanied the steak. Yassss! I loved the veggies. Looking for foodie vibes, grab your friends and enjoy a night at the Crunkleton. Pro-Tip: parking is validated; arrive early to avoid crowds
