    Creole salmon
    Alex M.

    I happened to be in the Concord area and remembered seeing some social media posts last year about a new lounge, so I decided to give it a try. After checking out reviews across various platforms, I wasn't quite sure what to expect--but I'm glad I went. The exterior gave off a welcoming lounge vibe, and we were checked in quickly thanks to our OpenTable reservation. The atmosphere was just as advertised--stylish and inviting, with impressive decor. As some reviews mentioned, the music was a bit loud. If you're looking to have a conversation, consider sitting side-by-side on the couch seating instead of across a table. Still, don't let that deter you--this is a lounge first, and it delivers on that promise. The food was surprisingly good for a lounge. While it's not five-star dining, it was flavorful, well-presented, and reasonably priced. The menu is limited, but that's typical for a lounge and makes sense for maintaining kitchen efficiency. There were still solid options to accommodate most diets. We started with the shrimp egg rolls, which were delicious and definitely worth ordering again. We also tried the chicken wings and the Creole salmon. I didn't have the wings, but my wife thought they were decent--nothing extraordinary, but not bad either. The salmon came with green beans and rice and was seasoned well, though it was cooked well-done. I wasn't asked about my preferred temperature, but considering this is more of a lounge than a seafood spot, I wasn't surprised. It may have been cooked from frozen, which would explain the doneness. Service was smooth and friendly, and the cocktails were well-crafted with thoughtful flavors. I've seen some comments about long wait times, but we didn't experience that--and neither did the tables around us. That said, it was getting busy as we were leaving, so I can see how it might get backed up during peak hours. Overall, it was a great experience, and I'll definitely be back to try more from the menu.

    We stopped by here a few weeks ago because we were on the prowl for a grown n sexy spot for drinks n bites ! They nailed it here I wish it was closer they are located in Concord,NC & is a black owned Restaurant Bar & Lounge with a tasty food menu ! We arrived right at opening so there weren't very many folks inside . Super aesthetic inside so we weren't expecting much with the food but we actually enjoyed our food & drinks ! My only thing is I wish they had more variety on the menu . Far as the entrees there were only two options they had way more appetizers than entrees . This is so perfect for date night. I'm getting a petition started for them to open one closer to Charlotte .

    Wow what an experience! I'm in Charlotte for the weekend, and my good friend's colleague…read morerecommended we come here after dinner for drinks. There's outdoor seating, and initially we wanted to sit outside but we didn't have reservations. Luckily, they seated us at a small corner section near the back of the bar. It's very cozy and intimate inside. Just my type of vibe. The service was top tier. They were unable to validate our parking because of some sort of discrepancy with the signage outside and lack of having the proper equipment for validation. To make up for it, they offered us complimentary champagne to start. We were not expecting that, and pleasantly surprised! Their menu has an eclectic selection of cocktails, both full and mini. We opted to order from the mini cocktail menu, and we each ordered two drinks. I had the Creepy cucumber cocktail and it was refreshingly sweet and probably my favorite drink of the night. I also ordered the Don't Shy Away which was a sour and spicy rum concoction with carrot in it. It was definitely spicy and had a puréed texture. I really enjoyed it. And, then don't get me started on the music!!! The dj was masterful. He played all the types of music I love and he mixed them in such a refreshing way. I ended up asking him for his contact information before leaving, and whether he does weddings because my fiancé and I are currently looking for a DJ. He was just that good. This would definitely be my spot if I lived here in Charlotte. It was the perfect way for us to end the night.

    Ugh, I so wanted to LOVE this place! It's in my friend's neighborhood and near some other spots we…read morelove. But it just hit me as average. It's a small intimate setting and I do love the dark aesthetic they did. Gives it a swanky vibe and makes a great date spot. But they were burning incense in the tiny space and it was overwhelming. The other bar guests sitting next to us agreed. *They did finally pick up on it and the staff moved it toward the kitchen door* Staff was friendly as well, though, it was busy and looked as if they had a trainee in tow, so attention was lacking just a bit. So why we came: The drinks were average to me. One was weird (Pineapple Fried Rice) and I just couldn't get it sit well on my palate - and I tried - sip after sip. But the mixologist saw my struggle and swapped it out for a different one. I did like the Don't Shy Away - it was an interesting take on a margarita with a strong carrot base. The Whispering Dove was a take on a Paloma and I couldn't find the lemongrass infusion on my palate. So I found it pretty basic, but pricey. So overall, decent. And I might stop buy if I was stuck in the area again.

    I attended a wine pairing here for the first time. I had never heard of Grape &Glass. Located in…read morethe Ollies/Walmart shopping center. Perfect setting for private events, girls or couple date night. This place is/ was a hidden gem. Unfortunately they are closing down this month. We had an absolute fabulous time. The owner sisters were extremely knowledgeable about wines. We ordered the wings and spinach dip, our friends ordered the charcuterie board. The spinach dip was to die for. The wing meat was seasoned and so good. There was also a fabulous DJ that kept the crowd engaged. I wish iI had found them sooner.

    I was invited to Grape & Glass by my best friend for a wine and cookie tasting. I was not to sure…read morewhat to expect, but we had such a great time. Firstly this establishment is owned by two sisters. They were absolutely amazing, the ambiance was nice, a small intimate space but there was room enough to get up and cut a rug! Unfortunately they will be closing their doors permanently. This beautiful gem is located within a shopping strip mall and is so easy to miss, the vibe here was so good I hate that I have not known about them up until now as I could definitely see myself coming here more often now that I have been here. Parking was plentiful! Service was slow, but they were down about 4 staff members so there was literally only one person taking orders, preparing and serving the food, so we completely understood. And plus the service was great so it definitely made up for it! They paired the girl scout cookies with the wine and had us score the pairing. The host was very engaging and gave us a description and origin of each wine that was selected. I've neve experienced anything like this, it was so engaging and well orchestrated. They had a small menu of items that you could order for small bites. We ordered the spinach and artichoke dip which was really yummy! And the garlic Parmesean wings, the wings had a bit of a kick to them and were a bit too salty for my liking, but they were cooked well and very meaty, if you like that sort thing! They also had 5 dollar drinks/cocktails available to order a well. The entire time they had a DJ playing all the hits and after the wine tasting, people got up and danced, laughed and had a good Ole time on the dance floor. It was such a great experience! I'm really sad that our community didn't show up enough to save this gem, I hate to see spaces like this go. But, I'm wishing the owners much success and blessings. Their closing day is March 14th 2026 and they are going to have a celebration, go out and support them!
