Lasagna
Rob L.

I'll be the first to say the Italian food scene in Charlotte is lacking, but this place is a hidden gem. Got the lasagna, which had a more meat than noodle ratio, which was welcomed. Sauce was great, portion was massive and tasted great overall. Will definitely be back.

The mozzarella sticks were very soft and tasted average, the baked spaghetti didn't have much taste either and the meatballs tasted and felt like absolute mush, and the Cavatelli Di Casa a la Nonna was bland and the pasta noodles were stale/hard, my friend and I took two bites and were unsatisfied, we asked to get it taken off and we'll pay for everything else and servers mood changed immediately as far as being nice and friendly goesand was the manager refused to remove the dishes and shown no concern or want to rectify the situation.

We stopped in Kounter while passing thru Rock Hill on way back to Spartanburg. I picked it out…read more.. wife and daughter were like this better be good. It was!!! I got the Cuban flatbread, daughter artichoke spinach potstickers and my wife the salmon salad. Everybody loved it. Brandy was our server and was great. We eat out a lot and honestly the food at a lot of places has gotten worse over last few years... higher prices worse food. Kounter restored my faith back in the restaurant industry. They still care and it was a deal. Anytime we are near we will go out of our way yo stop back in. Want to go to dinner next time! Blaine

We stopped for a late lunch, so getting a table wasn't an issue. We were greeted and seated…read moreimmediately. It took a bit from there, but we definitely arrived at a weird time, so that's not a negative. We ordered the cauliflower nugs and edamame as apps and both were spot on. The flavors were great! Loved the sauces and texture of the cauliflower (literally cooked perfectly - crispy but definitely cooked without being mushy - if you order cauliflower you know that I mean here!). The hot honey chicken sandwich was HUGE. The smashburger was delicious. And, the Brussels and fries were perfect sides. This place is legit. The venue is not big, but it's inviting to a trendy crowd. If you need 5 star elegance - skip it. But, if you want great flavors and perfectly cooked food in a fun atmosphere- check this out! Worth it!

Blend has become my new favorite place! I've been stopping in at least twice a week for a smoothie,…read morea salad or a coffee. They really take pride in their offerings & their customer service. And as a fellow restaurant owner I know what it takes to create a successful restaurant and they are doing it amazingly well. Im so happy I found them! Also need to note I'm gluten free & I love that I have a good amount of choices here!

Visited Blend for the first time with a friend, excited to find a local place that could…read moreaccommodate my raw vegan lifestyle. My first impression was wonderful..the little restaurant was clean, charming, and the outdoor seating was perfect for a warm day. Sadly...that positive impression quickly changed due to the customer service we received. We were greeted by an employee whose receipt identified her as Ashley. Ironically, she was wearing a "Good Vibes" shirt, yet her attitude toward me was anything but welcoming. As I explained that I am a strict RAW vegan and wanted to build my own salad without rice or meat, she became noticeably extremely rude, dismissive and snarky. I wasn't requesting anything outside of what the menu already offers; I was simply using the build-your-own option that Blend advertises. What was most disappointing was what happened afterward. While waiting for my order, both my friend and I could clearly hear and observe Ashley mocking me from the back area. Right in the doorway as if she didn't try to hide it at all talking to another employee...at one point, she appeared to be imitating someone using a cane. Which is obviously not a coincidence considering as someone who currently uses a cane while recovering from cancer treatment, she was clearly mocking me. Yesterday's experience was deeply hurtful and humiliating. To avoid further embarrassment, or harassment my friend suggested and I chose to sit outside and finish our meal. No apology was offered, nor was there any attempt to address the situation by any of the staff. I genuinely wanted to support this local business, but after this experience, I will not be returning and cannot recommend it to others. Everyone deserves to be treated with basic kindness and respect, regardless of their dietary choices or physical limitations.

We had to sit at the high top table strip facing the street as those were the only seats available. Anyways the service and food were both great!! The staff were all super friendly. I will definitely be back even if I have the same seats lol after dinner we took a stroll downtown to walk off some the food we had eaten. It was a lovely day!

So...Despite my initial impressions, I finally revisited with my husband on a weeknight. Even on a…read moreTuesday night, the place was packed! Still, we managed to get seated right away... This time, I was happy to see that their menu has changed. Not extensive by any means, but a bit larger than the one I saw on my first visit. The menu also included the Hot Honey Pizza! So I ordered this...and my husband ordered the Caesar Chicken Sando w/ Brussels Sprouts. We shared the foods...and surprisingly, I loved the taste of the Chicken Sando that my husband ordered! Maybe even more than the pizza? The pizza was good though...with a very generous load of crispy pepperoni. It was also enough to feed 2. If I recall, I thought the foods were way too greasy my first time around. This time, it wasn't that bad. I also enjoyed their Mango cocktail. A bit small in portion, but strong and tasty! Service was good too. Despite how busy it was, our waitress did a fine job attending to us. Just as I thought last time, the decor was very cozy...and truly retro, in the most authentic way. I just wished there was some music overhead...that would have really completed the ambiance. In any case, this experience was MUCH better than the last...so here's my review upgrade!

I visit Old Town Kitchen & Cocktails at least once or twice a month. The service is great, the food…read moreis excellent, and the prices are fair. I am usually surprised at how easy it is to get a seat. It's a big space which helps but the food is so good. I always anticipate having to wait. Unless there is a sporting event next-door, I can usually find a place at the bar or get a table. If you sit at the bar, hope Mariah is there. She makes a good cocktail and she's incredibly sweet. Food is consistent and very good. Their smoked wings must be the best in town get the lemon pepper rub in the house made blue cheese dip. You won't regret it. The blackened chicken Caesar salad is also a huge hit. I highly recommend this place. Enjoy!

We arrived at an odd hour, hungry and tired from a day of driving from early morning until about 3…read morepm. We were a little confused as to how to enter the restaurant, but I chalk that up to being tired. The space is wide open and airy, with large windows and skylights. The restaurant was nice and clean, save for something that was splashed on the wall in our booth - but it's a restaurant. There's going to be little picky things here and there and I'm sure it was wiped down by the end of the day! Our hostess was also our server and she was so knowledgeable about the menu. I took her suggestions at every turn and did not regret it. We started off with the Bang Bang Brussels Sprouts app and let me tell you - I could've eaten that as my entire meal. They are SO delicious and I'll be dreaming of them until I can return to Rock Hill. Holy cow, they were good - crispy on the outside, loaded with flavor and just enough spice to give the sweetness a little bite. So good. My husband had the country fried steak and he said it was very good. Not the best he's ever had, he said, but good enough. He wished there'd been more steak and less crust, but the flavor was right on. They were out of the salt and pepper flounder, so I changed my order to the ranch chicken. Ummmm....excuse me. Who says not to order chicken breasts at restaurants? The portion size is SO generous and the chicken is SO DELICIOUS that I, the girl who rarely bothers to take leftovers, boxed up what was left and brought it back to my hotel and ate it as a midnight snack. The grilled zucchini served on the side of it was delicious. If I ever get back, I'll ask if I can skip the potatoes in favor of more of that zucchini! We didn't really have room for dessert, but when we heard about the warm banana pudding, we were curious. DO NOT SKIP THIS DESSERT. If you're a banana pudding fan, this will blow your mind. Absolutely incredible! It's both warm and cool at the same time, caramelized bananas and a torched meringue topping were bowl-licking delicious. All in all, this was a fantastic experience and I wouldn't hesitate to go back.
