    Met a dear old friend for dinner and a catch up. We dined on an outdoor patio which had a heating unit which was nice as the temperatures began to drop at nightfall. The food was great, I ordered CHICKEN QUATTRO FORMAGGIO and added shrimp. It was a creamy, cheesy delight! The perfect amount of everything!!! It's a very large serving. I wasn't even able to get half way through when I had it packed up to take home. My dinner companion and I shared a HUGE piece of carrot cake which was absolutely divine! Yummy yummy cream cheese frosting and the perfect amount of ingredients and moistness. I would have rated a 5, but our server just wasn't as attentive as I would have liked. I ordered a cocktail, which I never received. I wasn't charged so no harm no foul, HOWEVER, I was looking forward to tasting their spin on a Moscow Mule. Unfortunately, we had very few check-ins, and when we asked for coffee (regular), we were brought decaf. He made it right, but attentiveness matters and is observed when you are a server. Overall, it was a great place to dine and a wonderful place to catch up and spend time with someone special.

    Red Rocks was mentioned a few times in the Charlotte Foodies Facebook group, I figured I'd try it out. Service I was greeted by Erin at the entrance pastry case, who was friendly and quick to seat me. My waiter Garrett was attentive, helpful, and didn't even flinch when I asked too many questions about the sides like I was taking a pop quiz. Starter I ordered a cup of She Crab Soup to start. It comes with a drizzle of sherry on top and a packet of saltines, classy and nostalgic at the same time. While it doesn't quite top the She Crab Soup at Eddie's Place, it definitely puts up a solid fight. Let's call it the Pepsi to Eddie's Coke. Main Course I went with the 1/2 rack of ribs. They were fall-off-the-bone tender, coated in a sticky, sweet sauce with just a hint of heat. Not quite a Carolina reaper situation, more like a polite tap on the shoulder. I didn't need any extra sauce and found myself going full caveman, cleaning each bone like it owed me money. The wild rice risotto was good. Cheesy, flavorful, and a smarter side choice than baked beans if you don't want to fall asleep by 9. Sweet potato fries were fine. Definitely the standard frozen kind, but they served their purpose. Dessert I didn't have room for dessert, but I took a slice of Oreo cheesecake to go. It's made by Queen City Pastry in Mooresville, and based on past experience, it's probably going to ruin my self-control later tonight. Overall Vibe Red Rocks is the kind of place that works for nearly any occasion. The menu is huge: burgers, pasta, steaks, seafood, salads. You could bring your picky aunt, your steak-loving cousin, or your friend who only eats chicken fingers. It's casual, but the food is better than you'd expect from a place this broad. Solid experience overall. And as for Aqua e Vino, lock your doors and update your voicemail. Some of us are out here hungry.

    As always; the food, drinks, and atmosphere was AMAZING. I love eating on the patio cause it's warm and quiet, and my friends and I can chat using our inside voices. Oh, waiter was A1

    Went here for the queens feast. I ordered a chopped salad, the blueberry pecan salmon, and the toffee bundt cake. Everything about this was soo good and I look forward to the queens feast here every year. The toffee bundt cake was the best part as it is a must try.

    My first time here, I was pleasantly surprised at the speed of our seating and service. After a brief explanation of today's specials we were munching on a deliciously prepared meal set for a king. A true dining experience!

    Filet and coconut shrimp
    Emmanuella M.

    I hosted my birthday dinner here and very glad I did. We were seated in the patio and the server was TOP notch. We were a large crowd and it was just him. He took his time to make sure we were all taken care of. I got the filet and shrimp which was good, except I wasn't the biggest fan of the sauce. I ate the food without it and it very delicious. Everyone talked about the mashed potatoes! You have to go and try it!

    Sometimes when dining, customer service can definitely make or break it when you're trying somewhere new. Bianca definitely won us over. She was so kind and super helpful. I appreciate how she was even so generous enough to let us try to have a better idea of how the sherry-lobster crème sauce tasted before ordering. We were hesitant at first but she was so reassuring on the dish she didn't steer us wrong. My girlfriend and I done here during restaurant week. Because we knew how packed it can get during this time, we went ahead and made reservations ahead of time but still got seated with no wait. Bianca was so honest with her recommendations it helped tremendously. The medallions are definitely the way to go if you're feeling something meaty. The fried onions are honestly a great pair. My favorite however were the lobster ravioli. If you know seafood, you know in nc sometimes the portion sizes can be on the smaller side. However with this dish, it will definitely fill you. It comes with a generous amount of 8-10 shells with a decent amount of shrimp and asparagus to fill you as well! Lastly, while we're never huge on dessert, please try their apple cheesecake I promise you will not regret it!

It has that warm, lively feel that makes you want to hang out and enjoy your time instead of rushing through the meal. We did a wine flight to start, which was a fun way to try a few different pours, and everything paired really well with dinner. The highlight for me was the whole roasted fish. Crispy on the outside, super tender inside, and really clean, fresh flavor. Simple but done really well. Service was on point too -- friendly, attentive, and helpful without hovering.

They even still have the 120 year old pews! If you ask your server, you are likely to hear the entire story of the place. It's pretty amazing. They recently received a Michelin recommendation and it's totally deserved. It's a buffet, but most of the hot food is actually served by a person which is something that I particularly appreciate. (I really don't like touching the handles of spoons that hundreds of people have touched.) Some of the stuff is self serve but not any of the hot dishes. Absolutely everything I tried was outstanding. Like everything. There are a few things that they consider "pass around" which means that they are brought over to you by a server at random intervals. For everything else, you just help yourself. I went with a friend of mine who has a deep appreciation for a southern food. He was absolutely amazed. Honestly, I can't think of a better place to have chosen to eat in a short time I had in Charlotte. I've attached a picture of the menu. I tried just about everything. I wasn't disappointed in a single thing, and I was completely wowed by many of them. The servers were wonderful. Very friendly and very willing to talk to us about the history and the food items that were there. Highest recommendation!

The tables in the back by the kitchen are the way to go if you're looking for something more intimate. I like to get a dirty martini and my wife get champagne. We get the Torched Scallops with caviar and the hamachi for appetizers and for dinner we usually split an entree. Everything really is next level although my favorite is the seabass. The service is outstanding. Everyone acknowledges you with a smile and "good evening, sir" as you walk past. It may not sound like much but these are the extra touches that make the place so special. We will be regulars for years to come.
