Warning - Detailed (worth it)! Peppervine - Southpark My daughter took me to Peppervine for the first time for Mother's Day. On Saturday though. What an incredible experience! We got there at approximately 5:15pm free parking a short walk from the restaurant. The area is extremely clean, quiet, there were people out, but it was not crowded or busy at all. We were seated immediately, and I could see into the kitchen as the staff worked on preparing our meals. Extremely clean, I loved the decor, the environment, even the music was wonderful. Very calming and level. Service was stellar. OK now the food?! Pimento Cheese Scones Thai Spareribs Mussels Scallops Pork Tenderloin Lemon Poppyseed Zeppolis Butterscotch Pot de Crème I ordered the pimento cheese scones, which were excellent and went beautifully with the sauce that the mussels and the scallops were in! You get one piece of crostini for the mussels and it was gone, of course. Those scones? I scooped up every bit of sauce in both seafood dishes. It was THAT good! INCREDIBLE! I begged the manager to please please do not take the mussels or the scallops off the menu! Apparently, they rotate menu items regularly. I could not get over the seafood, neither one of us could stop talking about the size of the mussels. The freshness, the texture was perfect. I love seafood? Hands down. Those were the best mussels I have had anywhere. They were out of the shell and I'm not gonna lie. I was a little nervous when I first saw them. Honestly? We will go back and there will be more than one order of mussels to go around if they're still on the menu! He did share that they brought them in from Maine and explained the location that they were purchased from was very controlled. Pristine. Can I just tell you? It showed! We ordered the Thai spare rib, which was cooked perfectly and so tender it came right off the bone. A balanced and even flavor as well. We will definitely order those again if they have them. I had the pork tenderloin with dirty rice stuffed cabbage. It was fresh and beautifully cooked, but my daughter enjoyed it more than I did. That by the way is a personal preference I just felt after having the seafood? Nothing was going to compare. My daughter had the scallops again that cream sauce was just phenomenal! It was definitely different ingredients different flavor than the sauce used with the mussels, but they've got a winning recipe. Let me tell you. The pimento cheese scones were the best compliment to the sauces and the seafood dishes. Not to forget the spreads that they brought with the pimento cheese scones. They were excellent as well. Last we had dessert and I ordered the lemon poppyseed Zeppoli's, which were good. I felt they could've been a little lighter on the inside. They were slightly gummy, but the flavor was excellent. Again, a personal taste, especially being Italian and having them homemade by family. My daughter's dessert was to die for. Butterscotch Pot De Crème. Seriously, the ingredients they used and the combination of flavors. It was just spot on! I don't think any other dessert would've compared - it just really stood out and we ordered it on the recommendation of our wonderful server. He said it definitely was a favorite and he was right. I will be going back to Peppervine and I highly recommend it however, the seafood is what did it for me. That was my absolute favorite. read more

There are so many unknowns when trying to remotely coordinate an important event in a place you've never been. As someone based in Seattle and not attending in person, I spent considerable time researching restaurants in Charlotte that could accommodate a group of 12 executives, offer private or semi-private dining, and meet a high standard of service. The Peppervine exceeded expectations on all fronts. I worked closely with Tommy Trull, who immediately put me at ease. He was incredibly responsive to my (many) emails and even took the time to connect over the phone to walk through menu options and service details. His willingness to collaborate and accommodate our needs made the planning process seamless. Tommy was also very flexible--he thoughtfully adjusted the menu to accommodate food sensitivities, and when our headcount changed at the last minute, he allowed the group to order off the menu instead of sticking to the pre-selected options. They also offered a very reasonable food and beverage minimum, especially given the level of service and flexibility provided. Our guests had a fantastic experience, and everything was executed flawlessly. Peppervine is an excellent choice for business dining, and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend it. read more

Glad was able to secure a reservation while in town!!! Snuggled in the south side of Charlotte. Great atmosphere. Cute vibe, and great service! The food was excellent!!!! Fine dining done well! Bottle wine specials on Tuesdays! Unfortunately I was there Monday, but had I known ahead of time. Haha Started off with the yeast rolls and pimento cheese scones! Let me tell you, these rolls were to die for. Yeasty, flavorful rolls of joy! But for me the pimento cheese scones were outstanding!!!! They came with pepper jelly and sorghum butter. I could of ate plates and plates of them all night!!! The entries did not disappoint either! Little gem salad, lions mane katsu, mushroom agnolottie, blue crab lumache and short ribs! I would recommend any one of these dishes! They all were amazingly well cooked and seasoned. The Blue crab lumache was my stand out dish. Creamy pasta, with big chunks of delicious crab! read more

Absolutely outstanding! Our second visit matched our first in creativity and breadth of the menu and excellence of the service. Well done, Team! Peppervine traffics in shareable dishes (not tapas), and five for the two of us was perfect (not counting the yeast bread to start!). We opened with the beet & arugula salad, as well as the burrata in the light red and olive sauce. Both were hits (the latter more for me than the former). We then hit the apex of the night with the mushroom agnolotti pasta ... wow! It came out warm and gooey (in a good way) and is full of flavor, amazing mouth feel, and makes you want to order 2-3 more plates and turn on Netflix. Not long after came 4+5, the scallops with broccolini and the Brunzino. The fish was the only thing that didn't really wow us, but I wouldn't talk badly about it. We sipped on the Layla NA sparking and enjoyed another wonderful evening in a fantastic locale. Thank you, Peppervine! read more

Peppervine - New American Near Me - Charlotte, North Carolina

This place is professional, clean, and it seems working on their own upscale dining experience. Only thing that really bothered me is that the waitress touched my shoulder while talking to me, i enjoy my personal space and do not appreciate physical contact with strangers. Another thing she struggled to understand is no dairy no animal products besides fish, aka lent diet, she tried to convince me that butter on bread is okay even tho that does not align. Other than that my food was great, i had fish with veggies and my husband had bolognese which he was happy with but proceeded to tell me he enjoyed the homemade ones better. He did really love the bread- definitely worth a try. Overall solid experience, mocktails are delicious by the way. I would appreciate less push to order more items of the menu. P.S. My ratings are based on whether I believe I could make a better or healthier version at home. If food/drinks/service impress me, I'll be happy to come back. If not the stars reflect that. read more

We've been wanting to try this place FOREVER now - finally made reservations for my husband's birthday. We were super excited to finally give it a go - parking was fine, entry was fine - but we were seated at a very strange table that seemed to be in a high traffic area. We were often bumped by waiters/waitresses. I don't know if this happens to us because we have a teenager, but restaurants really need to think about table placement as it can truly impact the whole vibe for a family. Now onto the food - the menu suggests ordering 2-3 dishes so there's enough food. **there's plenty of food in single dishes, this is a plug to get you to buy more** I'd have suggested letting the waiter say that, putting it in writing made us think we were ordering over priced tapas. The food itself, AMAZING. It really was good - the appetizer bread dishes were delicious but comically TINY. Our yeast rolls weren't cooked all the way thru, but we definitely enjoyed the concept (would have preferred bigger yeast rolls for sure!). The scones were incredible... but also tiny. The pasta dishes were perfectly cooked, perfectly seasoned and really tasty. Overall, we just felt a bit duped. The bill came and it was $$$$$ for the drinks, apps and dishes we ordered it was several hundreds of dollars. We did it to ourselves - should've known that given the SouthPark price tag, but it just didn't feel like a "value" for the $. We went once, sadly we probably won't go back. If you want to charge this much... be honest and knock our socks off. This place just didn't do that for us. read more

This is my second time at this restaurant and they always meet my expectation the service the food the ambience the location was perfect.

I had just been waiting to try this place and wow it did not disappoint. My mouth is still watering thinking about the bolognese pasta - I think it's safe to say this is the best one I've had in Charlotte! Our service was awesome and quick! The place was so cute I wish I would've gotten a photo - well lit and a perfect aesthetic for a date night, birthday dinner, or any celebration. There was plenty of street parking, otherwise there is a garage next to the place as well! read more

4.4/5 stars! Wow, what a place! Unsure of where to begin. I'll start with parking, there is ample parking in the deck next to Peppervine, but it's only for roughly 90 mins. Unsure how often they check though. The service and ambiance are both top notch. I always sit at the bar and the bartenders always make sure you are taken care of despite being very busy. The wine selection is good and changes, they do half off bottles on Tuesdays as well. To the food, it blew me away! For starters, their bread ($7) is to die for good! Baked when ordered it compares with Steak48s bread. Light and fluffy. I got the hanger steak last night and was impressed. Hanger steak is easy to mess up, but they did a great job! Their turtle pot de creme for dessert was equally delicious! Very rich, but so worth it! Cannot recommend this place enough! read more

This was a great date night restaurant! Our server was very kind patient and helpful! I loved the romantic ambiance and the wine theme around the room! The menu was a little tough to figure out but our server recommended two GREAT entrees! The yeast rolls were my favorite! I ordered the short ribs and it was very tasty! Celebrated my birthday here as well and they gave me a cute chocolate dessert and champagne. Very happy with my experience! read more

As usual Peppervine is on point! We started our with some amazing mocktails, cocktails, and a Beaujolais to welcome in the New Year. I like that they offer a choice of a 6 ounce or 9 ounce glass of wine. All 6 of us loved our meals, the breads, veg, the seafood, pasta, meats. & desserts. It was all just perfection. We were waited on by several people, full service. They removed our silverware in between services as should be done but so rarely is here in Charlotte. It's a beautiful restaurant, always a reliable win! read more

Peppervine is located in SouthPark Charlottez We stopped in this spot by just walking by. It was so beautiful so we had to pop in. It's a thoughtfully decorated space adorned with driftwood, definitely a contemporary modern vibe. As one of the few non-chain eateries in the area, Peppervine boasts a menu of progressive locally sourced small plates, complemented by craft cocktails. The bar tender made a great Bee's Knees. Loved it! Will be back for dinner. read more

Wonderful service, delicious food, great ambiance, plus no loud music, we could actually hear each other. Will be back!

I honestly thought Peppervine did not meet the hype. I wanted it to be a experience that matched the price point, but to me it fell short. The food was good and the service was excellent, but it was ridiculous that they tell you as soon as you sit down you're on a running clock and will have to give up your seat at a certain time. Isn't fine dining supposed to be an experience to be enjoyed over hours and not rushed? The food was great, and the space is decorated beautifully, but I don't expect to come back. Not with so many other options available where I can hit the same price point but be encouraged to relax and enjoy my meal. read more

Had the short rib, it came with mashed potatoes and seasonal veggies. I would rate it a 8/10. The short rib was very tender and flavorful. The yeast and pimento roles are both 10/10. The service was good and it's a nice ambience. Great for a date, or in our case, a group of 6! read more

Peppervine - Short Rib and Mashed Potatoes - New American Near Me - Charlotte, North Carolina

An absolutely sublime culinary experience, Peppervine is one of the most compelling additions in years to Charlotte's high-end restaurant scene. Everything about our experience was first-rate, from the chic and romantic setting, to the outstanding service and of course, the food. Starting with the deliciously buttery Yeast Rolls and tasty General Tso's Cauliflower our table shared as appetizers, to the amazing Carmel Apple Cheesecake that topped off the meal, every dish exceeded our expectations. The menu includes a variety of pasta dishes, seafood and chops, as well as a number of fantastic small plate options that are perfect for sharing. Our group particularly loved the succulent 24-Hour Short Rib, the delicious Beef Bolognese and the amazing Lumache Pasta, served with shrimp and dripping with flavor. Peppervine's cocktails and wine selection are also outstanding, and their spacious, upscale bar makes this the perfect spot to connect for drinks or a casual dinner after work. Convenient parking is available just a short walk away, in any of the nearby decks in Piedmont Row. We absolutely loved Peppervine and can't wait to come back. It's one of the best restaurants in SouthPark and worth a drive from anywhere in the Charlotte region. I can't recommend it highly enough. read more

Peppervine is a Charlotte classic. I frequently hear people say it's one of their favorite restaurants in Charlotte, so I was eager to try it. It was phenomenal. Our server recommended we start with the pinento cheese scones and the yeast rolls. That felt excessive, and how good can bread really be? HA. We started with the pimento scones and quickly went back to order the yeast rolls. Both were standouts! We also shared the cauliflower. Again, had medium expectations, but it BLEW me away! For my entree, I ordered the octopus small plate and am so glad I did. The flavors together with the chorizo were wonderful. Everything was a standout - would definitely return for a nice occasion or with guests in town. read more

Peppervine - Thai spare ribs - New American Near Me - Charlotte, North Carolina

Came for a girls dinner and had a great experience. The place is pretty fancy with beautiful interior decor, no specified dress code but most diners were dressed fairly nice. We started with a round of cocktails- I got their signature "misty eyed margarita" which was delicious. We also started with the pimento scones which were so great we ordered another round. For dinner our server suggested sharing a few plates tapas-style. We got the General Tsos Cauliflower, Gem Salad, Braised Short Rib, and Mushroom Agnolotti. Let me tell you, everything was SO good. We were very impressed. I highly recommend everything we got. I will say the portions are small and pricey but it was worth it in our opinion. We finished the the crème brûlée and glasses of champagne. The dessert was incredible! read more

My wife and I came here for the first time this week, and we absolutely loved it: The food was delicious, the service was superb and the vibe was sophisticated! Peppervine is centrally located in a commercial plaza called Piedmont Town Center, which is located in a visually pleasing parts of the city. There is plenty of free street parking and there is also a free parking garage. It's a dinner-only restaurant and it closes on Sunday. There is a full bar for those who only want drinks. The menu offers quite a few delicious options. We went on a Friday evening without a reservation and were able to get a table. We ordered the following: DRINK: -Tongue Thai'd Mocktail (100% delicious) FOOD: - Pimento Cheese Scones (100% delicious) - Spanish Octopus (100% delicious) - Hanger Steak (100% delicious) DESSERT: -Cinnamon Apple Zeppole Donuts (100% delicious) -Caramel Corn Butter Cake (100% delicious. This one was so different. We had never eating ice cream that tasted like corn and this one did. Wow!) The food was really good! The service was outstanding. Our server (Erlan) was incredibly helpful, friendly, professional and always on top of everything. The manager also stopped by a couple of times to check on us. The space is beautiful and all common areas were clean. Overall, 100% recommended, and we are definitely coming back! read more

Had a fantastic night out at Peppervine recently, and I can say that this place lives up to the hype. This is an upscale restaurant so it runs a little on the pricey side, but the experience was definitely worth it, so if you have an event you want to celebrate or if you need a spot for a special date night, they should definitely be at the top of your list. To start we ordered their fresh baked to order yeast rolls. They are so soft and perfectly salted I could honestly eat an entire meal of them. I'm definitely glad I saved room for the bison bolognese though. So flavorful and the beef tallow ricotta was a perfect touch. One of my favorite meals I've had in quite some time. The ambience is great, and they have a killer wine list which combined with their thoughtfully curated menu puts them towards the top in the Charlotte fine dining scene. That's not just my opinion either, apparently they've been racking up awards and honors. They've definitely made a splash in the restaurant scene since they opened, so go in some time yourself to see what the hype is about. read more

Great food and service. I will definitely come back again. I loved the ambiance as well.

Fantastic experience. The food was impeccable, the service 5 star. Will definitely be back.

A truly elegant dining experience in an upscale, metropolitan atmosphere. Our service was top notch - waiter was very knowledgeable about dishes and staff kept plates cleared and checked in frequently (although not so often that it was a bother ). We were given regular menus, as well as an iPad that had "allergy menus" for just about any allergy/food sensitivity there is (gluten free, soy free, dairy free, onion/garlic/mushroom free, etc.). This was very accommodating to those with allergies. We started with a Cherry Lime Rickey mocktail. It was yummy, although we were a little disappointed that this was the only mocktail offered that night. But it was a good one! Next we had yeast rolls, which were a must! So good! Then we shared a little gem salad and General Tso's cauliflower. The cauliflower and slaw accompaniment were amazing!! We also had the butternut soup, hanger steak, and the mushroom agnolotti, which was recommended by our waiter. I'm not even a huge fan of mushrooms and that dish was incredible - the saltiness of the capers and brown butter paired with the sweetness of the mushrooms and caramelized onions was chef's kiss! That was our favorite dish of the night, closely followed by the cauliflower and yeast rolls! For dessert, we shared the ice cream trio and it was the perfect ending to our meal! read more

We tried Peppervine yesterday and omg every was soooo good. This is an American restaurant but they do serve some Asian dishes. It's more like an American fusion restaurant I guess. Everything is made from scratch and using local ingredients so the menu changes depends on what's available. But everything was delicious! The service was impeccable. The food was top notch. I regret not trying this earlier. Y'all should definitely check it out! We ordered the pork belly, the green curry hot pot, yeast rolls as starter. The rolls was soft and freshly baked, the pork belly was delicious, and the green curry was amazing. The monk fish and mussels were fresh and soft, not chewy or fishy. I got the 24 hours short ribs and it was delicious melt in your mouth. My husband kept making "uhm" noises when he ate this dish so you know it's good. He got the veal ragu with house made pasta, this is my least favorite dish and I wouldn't order this one again but my husband loves it. We got the sorbet trio and ice cream trio for dessert. Also made in house. My husband kept saying they looks like sashimi because of the shape . read more

Peppervine provided a great casual dining experience with great food. Entree portions seem to be on the small side, but it allowed us to enjoy starters and desserts. The pimento scones...a must have. When I think scones, I think hard crumbly cookies; however, these are more like biscuits. They're soft, butter, crunchy, and with a great hint of pimento cheese. Paired with the pepper jelly or sorghum butter, they are absolutely magnificent! The yeast rolls are equally delicious. Both are baked to order, and what is better than fresh hot bread?! My party enjoyed the mussels and fried oysters as starters. I ordered the 24 Hr Short Rib, and it was cooked to perfection-tender, flavorful, delicious sauce with a mixed vegetable side, vegetables were diced and plated on top of the short rib. I would've loved some nice buttery garlic mashed potatoes with it, but it was still delicious. All party members who had the pasta dishes really enjoyed the pasta. They spoke of the perfect cook in the pasta, the delicious sauces in their respective dishes, and the overall great flavor. As we were celebrating a birthday, a complimentary dessert was bright to the table, which was the chocolate ganache cake with meringue ice cream. We also got the sorbet trio, and the ice cream trio-all of which we all tasted and enjoyed. The coffee ice cream was amazing, the sweet potato ice cream was decadent and the lemon sorbet stood among the sorbets. All of it was beautifully crafted and we will definitely be back! If I lived closer, I'd be a wreck trying to get to those pimento scones! read more

Came here with girlfriends on Monday night. Service was good. The server gave us recommendation friendly and allowed us dine with our own pace. Food was great but on the pricey side (a little). The most impressive thing was octopus - juicy but not tender which was exactly what I like. Seafood were all fresh and the use of spice was point on. Pimento cheese scone was a must to start and green curry hotpot worth trying as well. Desserts were good but nothing surprisingly special. We did not order alcohol but it offered a good selection of drink, especially to pair desserts. Ambiance - work best for business conversation and date. Friend gathering was our purpose but apparently this is not a place for loud conversation. read more

We had been hearing about Peppervine for a while and thought what better to try it out then on the week of Love (Valentines Day weekend). We made our reservation on open table and were pretty prompt on arrival. With us arriving early, they still were able to accommodate us. Our server provided us with amazing recommendations on the dinner experience. I started with a cocktail of course (Tequila Mockingbird-catchy right). It took our server a little longer than expected to return and ask us our order which was slight disappointing. He would walk past and not acknowledge. I had to ask the manager for his assistance in getting his attwntion We got the Pimento Cheese scones which was pretty delicious along apple jelly. For entrees, we choose the 24 hour short rib and the orange general tso cauliflower. They were both very flavorful, the sides were decent. Besides the brief issue with service for a minute; the rest of staff was spectacular and the vibe was great. read more

Ambiance is fantastic. Classy, elegant yet not too stuffy. Food is really good. I loved the short rib large plate and their yeast rolls are a must for when you're waiting on your food. Cocktail was cute and Valentine themed. Love that they brought out complimentary sparkling rosé while we were looking at the menu. Tuna tartare was good but didn't necessarily stand out. Boudin sausage was flavorful but kind of miss that it wasn't in a ball. Service is 10/10 easily. Had a great experience and will definitely be back! read more

Peppervine - Dessert - turtle pot de crème? I don't know how to spell it but I'll be having it again! - New American Near Me - Charlotte, North Carolina

So here's what I'll say about this restaurant. Everything seems to be made with intention, the flavors just weren't everything I wanted for the caliber of the restaurant. Do not get me wrong, I am giving it 4 stars for a reason, but that's why I'm not giving it 5. To start, we got the scones, which were my favorite part of the meal. They weren't too cheesy, and so unique and tasty. For our app, we got the prawns. Taste just wasn't worth the $30 something we spent for them. For my main, I got the branzino. Fish itself was lovely and cooked perfectly. The sauce it came with was complex and tasted good, but it was very sweet and there was too much of it. The couscous was swimming in it and I just felt like it took over the dish entirely. My boyfriend was a big fan, but he likes sweeter things more than me. He ordered the steak and liked it very much. Our meal was still solid, but not planning to come back on our next trip to Charlotte. read more

At least once a week, I take a night off from cooking. This week, my husband and I really wanted something new, a place that we haven't tried yet and we landed on Peppervine. This was during the week and later in the evening so when got there, we were able to get a table on the patio with no wait. The weather here in Charlotte has been amazing this past week and it's too lovely to be inside. The patio at Peppervine feels like a secluded little haven. The glass-enclosed fire pit was going and the atmosphere was lively so the evening was wonderful from the get-go. Surveying the wine menu, I noticed an option to "be surprised" with a glass of wine chosen for you. As it turned out, the wine was chosen by the General Manager and Wine Director for Peppervine, Tommy. He brought a glass of Portuguese Vinho Verde and explained the characteristics of the wine and why it feels, on the palate, like it's slightly effervescent. Tommy is charming and the wine was delightful. We moved on to ordering, and the preference at Peppervine is that you order all at once and they stage your meal for you. It was nice to order and be done with it. It was staged very well, and our service was excellent. We started with pimento scones, fried oysters from the menu, and their tuna tartare which was a special that evening. All three were perfectly balanced and hit the right notes of savory, bright pops of acidity, combinations of textures, and being very visually appealing. We were a little indulgent on the apps so I went with a small plate for my entre and chose the Spanish Octopus. It is a flavor explosion in the best possible way. The octopus was perfectly cooked and tender accompanied by a beautiful carrot romesco, fingerling potatoes, thinly sliced brussels sprouts, and crispy bits of chorizo. The chorizo and harissa give it just a kiss of spice that, for me, make it something truly special. I cannot recommend Peppervine enough, and we will definitely be going back! Soon. read more

I'll start with the positives. The service! Our waiter was great. He did a great job explaining how they operate and why and when the menus change. The reassurance is very nice. Nicely lit and not too loud yo hold a conversation. The prices are $$$$ and the portions are small. Be prepared to order several items. The food is well worth the $$$$. However it's not a place I would visit more than once or twice. read more
