This was our first dinner at Speckled Pear and - wow! The phrase "gourmet dining" gets misused so…read moremuch it's become meaningless. So how about, "epicurean"?, "gastronomic"? OK, I'll just say we had "da** fine" meals. Fresh, seasonal ingredients combined in some unique and surprising ways, beautifully prepared and so, so delicious. Just look at the photos of a selection of our dishes. This was well worth an update of my earlier review. First, Speckled Pear has removed the community seating and the prepared food, bakery and produce counters from my earlier visits and replaced them with true "restaurant" tables. The focus is now squarely on dining, with lunch, dinner and Sunday brunch service. And oh, there's still a wine bar and bottles are still available for purchase. In my humble view a significant positive step. Our servers were excellent, including helpfully explaining some of the wine options (my wife and sister-in-law ordered a flight). Still a fairly casual environment. Great acoustics- I hate echo chambers. We sat close to other guests but were able to easily talk among ourselves without hearing any extraneous neighbor conversations. Dare I say, Speckled Pear is now a {insert tire company name} star-quality dining experience. In Fort Mill! PS - It's a small restaurant which filled quickly and early on the weekday we visited. Reservations are recommended.

Really unique bites to eat, with a thoughtful combination of flavors and ingredients. It's a small spot with intentional design choices and a communal table.

We were also lucky enough to meet the chef who with his wife started the restaurant just about a year ago. They're just as warm as the rest of their team! Really looking forward to going back next time we're in Charlotte.

The tortillas were good but a little soft (I prefer when they're a little more pan fried). I liked that the onions and cilantro came on the side so you could add as much or as little as you wanted. Carnitas Tacos (5/5): Best meat option for sure. Good texture and flavor. Asada Tacos (5/5): Classic asada. Al Pastor Tacos (4/5): Pineapple added some nice sweetness.

The shop is cozy and the staff are incredibly nice as well. :)

Their filet mignon and strip steak are hard to beat for quality and price. During the summer you get their fresh tomatoes but sadly they don't have heirlooms.

They have recently completed an inside renovation and changed up their restaurant hours and their menu. They really needed to upgrade their bathrooms and I'm glad to see the checked that box too.

That's where Longbottom Meats come in. I ordered a few weeks in advance so that I could mitigate any problems that could arise. I was not disappointed at all. The steaks were just as ordered and the staff were very friendly. Everyone at the Christmas gathering were very complimentary toward the tenderness of the filets. No steak knife needed here as they were so tender it could be sliced with a fork and just melted in your mouth. This just reminds me of the importance of quality in our lives. Quality friends , quality family and only the finest of drink and meats. Do yourself a favor and cook at home using only the best meats served by Longbottom Meat company.
