Great food. I had Monk Fish with rice grits. The grits had a mild lobster taste and was topped with a perfectly cooked monk fish. Side vegetables. All the items were perfectly seasoned. It was a warm comfort meal but was not heavy. It really was one of the best meals ever. The others had a chicken fish that they also enjoyed. Great service and atmosphere. Will definitely return read more

I found this place on Yelp while visiting downtown Charlotte and figured I'd give it a shot for a quick lunch. I had no idea it was in a hotel! It's a cute restaurant with a comfortable, modern atmosphere. However, on a Saturday afternoon I expected there to be more than ONE person working. Our server was also running the bar, and while he was super nice.. he couldn't help but be a bit slow since he had zero help. The menu is very, very limited.. and a bit pricey (but I'd expect that at a hotel restaurant.) My boyfriend and I each ordered burgers and a soda.. and our bill with tip was over $40. However, the food was fantastic. I love the farm to table concept - everything was fresh and tasty. read more

Was in town for meetings and decided to try Stoke based on them serving an octopus dish (absolutely one of my favorite foods that not enough people try). I was not disappointed at all with the Charred Octopus dish which had a Spanish flair to it except for the orange addition (which was an interesting combination). Paired it with a local Windy Hill cider that was also really good. The inside of the restaurant is very well done with the main dinning section on the lower level separated from the back bar. Since I arrived late, just grabbed a bar seat on a quiet Sunday night. The bartenders working for very friendly and talkative while catching watching Sunday night football. Will definitely be a stop on future visits to Charlotte. read more

I had a great experience at Stoke with the wait staff, and I really enjoyed their cocktail menu. We planned a surprise engagement party for a friend, and the hostess and waiter all pitched in so that she didn't know what was coming until they led her to the table. After a round of bubbly, we ordered a cheese plate and the pretzel brioche. Get. the. pretzel. brioche. It came with three delicious butters, and I could barely keep myself from licking up the Cheerwine butter. The cheese plate changes each time, and one of the cheeses that day was bleu. I personally like it, but the rest of my party did not, which was disappointing for them. We also ordered a round of cocktails, and I am obsessed with the Lay of the Land (shoutout to Stubborn Burro too). We shared a salad to top off our meal, which was pretty good. Overall, it has a nice vibe and really got hopping around 8pm. I would definitely come back for drinks, but I did think the food was overpriced for its quality. read more

This was a surprise getting out of the Uber at the Marriott Hotel. Thought it was a stand alone location. Ok as a single eating in the bar area. Food was good and flavorful. read more

Stoke - Bar is good for a single - New American Near Me - Charlotte, North Carolina

Excellent choice for dinner with friends. We shared little plates- fabulous octopus, duck tamale, great pretzel brioche and deviled eggs all super yumm. We shared the papardelle with short ribs with such a rich, intense flavor. We also shared the red snapper in a ginger sauce and got rice grits with an egg- like a savory rice pudding and the fresh peas which for me were the only thing I wouldn't have ordered- service was top notch- Molly was professional yet friendly . Too full to order dessert read more

In October shortly after the grand opening I visited Stoke to enjoy some libations and eats...it was my first visit and I wasn't disappointed. Yelp family...I'm the single girl who goes to the bar to people watch and experiment with the drink menu, nothing like cold, stiff well crafted libation...Stoke had me covered. They have a signature Old Fashion, while I hate ordering what everyone orders, I eventually but the bullet. There's a list of preinfused crafted drinks they will let you sample before selecting - great options and then UNIQUE was a pressed drink menu. It's served to you in a French press...it was fly! Burger - slammin' Bartenders- awesome Price - get what you pay for... Atmosphere- drippin with swanky & sexy Date night - sure could, I actually walked out with a stranger and we kept bar hopin...just sayin! read more

Had an amazing experience last night, Valentine's Day with six great friends. Our server, Destiny, was incredibly kind and attentive. The food was amazing. From the duck, to the Porkchop, to the steak, to the scallops, every single person had an amazing meal. We sat close to the kitchen and watched the cooks work their magic. I would never have thought such a wonderful meal could be had at a Marriott hotel restaurant, but this place blew me away. I can't wait to go again. read more

Made a reservation at this place, found it randomly on google. Our group was greeted by a wonderfully friendly hostess who set us up with an extra two settings for our two unannounced guests with a flick of a finger and a smile on her face. Our server Bret greeted us with a smile and hospitality that set the stage for a great dining experience. To be honest, I'm too lazy right now to go through in detail of all the meals we had , but I can say that everything was really excellent and tasty. Ambiance great, sleek, modern, food tasty and quality, friendly and excellent staff. Go there and enjoy! read more

We decided to drop into Stoke in search of a good bourbon cocktail. They didn't disappoint! Placed in the lobby of a Marriott its still a great vibe. The bar itself is beautiful, copper and white counter tops. We were promptly greeted at the bar, and happy to find the bartender was clearly top notch. We watched him make a few for other people and ordered two old fashioneds. I stuck with the original recipe, which had a bit of bite from the Elijah Craig. My boyfriend substituted it for Michters and it was nice and smooth. All around a good experience! read more

Awesome brunch! I got the deep fried stuffed French toast and it was so good! A bit pricey for the amount of food you get, but worth it. Also love the decor! It's inside the Marriott hotel and they'll validate your parking if you get valet. read more

I stumbled onto Stoke which just opened, and Charlotte should be stoked (sorry, I couldn't resist). This farm to table restaurant has a huge open kitchen where it seems like diners can watch the chefs from every single table. My trout was spot on, but the real winner was the service. My server, Tysha, was absolutely incredible. She knew the food, knew the wines, and literally sold me on the place before I even knew what it was all about. If Chef Chris Coleman's waitstaff continues to be this incredible, then all the Uptown chain steak houses are in for serious competition. I wish this place the very best!! I ordered the Sunburst Farms trout because, quite simply, I screw it up when trying to cook it at home. Sunburst Farms trout is a Carolina treasure, and Sunburst isn't too far of a drive from Charlotte. But, I'm not a good cook, so I always mess it up when trying to cook it. The trout I had at Stoke was just perfect. Perfect. I didn't order sides, but the dish came with some pickled okra and onions which were the perfect compliment to the trout. Perfect. Wines: Tysha explained that Stoke isn't marking up the wine prices. For that reason, I ordered an entire bottle of Malbec for the same price Total Wine charges. What other restaurant at a "high-end hotel" is going to do that? And, the manager came around a few times to see how everything was. Incredible experience all the way around, and I'll be back to try it with friends and family. I hope Stoke stays. Now, a little history: the restaurant at the Marriott used to be Savannah Red. It taught Charlotte about farm to table dining long before we all realized the health and importance of farm to table experiences. And, the kudzu butter and Krispy Kreme desserts taught us the importance of taking Carolina "stuff" and turning it into gastronomic extravaganzas. I loved the decor at Savannah Red because it was unique in a way similar to Patrick O'Connell's Inn at Little Washington. But, Savannah Red closed. Down the street at the Dunhill Hotel, Cassie Parsons from Grateful Growers farm was also teaching Charlotte about farm to table dining at her Harvest Moon restaurant. But, Cassie closed Harvest Moon at the Dunhill, and Chef Chris Coleman turned it into The Asbury. He put his spin on farm to fork dining, and The Asbury is where I always took out of town guests for brunch. A few nights ago, I stopped by the Marriott to see if their crazy renovations were over (the Marriott did away with one of the best hotel indoor pool/spas in Charlotte), and near the lobby was this huge, new restaurant called Stoke. I was in the mood for Ethiopian, so I absolutely did not intend to dine at Stoke. But, the huge, open, airy layout was intriguing. The host and waitstaff sucked me in, and I'm thrilled to have tried it. Kudos, and thanks for a great dining experience. read more

We chose this restaurant based upon the reviews and we were not disappointed! Our family was visiting Charlotte and had a group of 10 for lunch. We were seated at the chef table and loved seeing all that was going on in the kitchen! Pamela our server was FANTASTIC.... She answered numerous questions from our "foodie" group. We got several sides to share as well as the wonderful heirloom tomato salad. Members in our group got everything from the catfish sandwich to chicken to Farro Salad to beef flat iron. All were excellent -fresh and flavorful. As we were ordering I briefly mentioned to Pamela that we were celebrating the engagement of our "children" ( parents meeting grandparents etc...). We briefly wondered why desert plates were placed at our table after our dishes were cleared .... I wondered if this was a way to "push" desert ( we all declared we were stuffed). Moments later Pamela presented to the engaged couple "THEDoughnut! Oh My! This was a huge doughnut- almost 12 inches wide ..filled with a chantilly cream ( or similar wonderful filling). She said it was compliments for our celebration. The ten of us all enjoyed a piece and it was amazing. I highly recommend "Stoke" don't let the fact it is located inside the Marriott Hotel deter you..... This place is not to be missed! read more

This was my first trip to Charlotte and I came here on a business dinner and had the short rib dinner. It was delicious. This place has the best "donut" you'll ever have. I highly recommend trying their donut desert, it's so light and sweet and hits the spot!! read more

Let me just start this review out by saying that my wife and I had the Chef's Dinner at Stoke and it was hands down the best dining experience we've ever had in Charlotte. I could take the time to describe in detail each of the 8 courses we received but they would all just talk about how well presented and delicious they were. The drinks we had were fantastic as well and included the Stoke Old Fashioned and Manhattan and several different glasses of wine including some Pinot, Sauv Blanc and bubbly. Chris, the head chef, described each dish with no shortage of passion and care for what they put out of their kitchen and this showed through in the flavors each dish offered. KC, our waitress, was attentive, fun to converse with and did an amazing job helping us pair drink selections with the dishes we had. Stoke is most definitely worth a visit if you're looking for great service and an amazing meal. read more

Stoke - Watermelon, goat cheese, peanuts and seeds. Amazing! - New American Near Me - Charlotte, North Carolina

A very cozy place located in the Marriott uptown. Really enjoyed the decor, we had our secret Santa brunch there. I purchased the grain bowl and the Avocado Toast. We also decided to have mimosas which was delicioso! My co-workers didn't like that the food wasn't as seasoned however I enjoyed my meal! read more

The good news is the food is quite good. Had a good breakfast and a great lunch. Avocado perfectly prepared. Breakfast entrees are interesting without being strange. Servers quite efficient. The bad news is the hostess is surly and actually rude. Said "it's not my job" when asked for water for tea. Of course other hostesses had gladly provided this service. Hotel seems bewildered about her attitude and acknowledging they have other complaints read more

Seriously upscale nope , service absolutely horrible as they take forever .hello are patrons a important factor maybe to have them return .we don't need upscale prices and get sizzler service speed. Food was good Waygu ahh honestly it's all preference food was good though service nope read more

My wife and I were excited by their menu. For appetizers we had the grilled octopus, pork belly and tamales. Sounds yummy right!? The presentation was good but... the octopus had no char marks and was a tad salty. The tamales were presented in husks. However they were falling apart. Should have been more moist. The pork belly was the best of the three. I would have liked some sweetness or acidity to cut the fat down. The frieze salad was very good. We split the Cobia fish special and esquietes side dish. Unfortunately they over cooked the fish. The smokiness came through. I would highly recommend the corn side dish. Make sure to leave room for the dessert doughnut. It was the best part of the entire meal! The staff was very pleasant. The service was a tad on the slow side. We were sitting right by the kitchen and could see our food come up. To be fair It was a Saturday nigh and it was busy. read more

Good eats! I didn't get a chance to get dessert was too full maybe next time. Had the octopus- great texture and flavor and scallops were cooked nicely. The sauce was a little bland for my taste buds but not bad. Had bread with 3 types of butter all delicious. The drink cocktails were good/unique and strong enough. I would have liked more frequent water refills. Good ambiance inside Marriott hotel . read more

Stoke has just officially taken over "my favorite restaurant" spot in Uptown! I adore that you can see the chefs at work from your table. The menu was just the right size for my taste...big enough for a nice selection, but small enough so you know each and every dish is well crafted with fresh ingredients! They have gorgeous wall coverings listing all the local and regional spots where they source ingredients. The service could not have been any better. Pamela was the best! She knew the menu and drink list inside and out and explained each in detail with every question we had. She paced our courses nicely and was always available when we needed, but gave us plenty of time to eat and socialize without rushing us. The food!!!! The food!!!! The pretzel brioche was a great starter with 3 delicious spreads. I filled up with mouthwatering pork shank and brussel sprouts. But always always save room for The Doughnut...Yes w a capital D! It will easily feed a family, but you can always take the leftovers home too! Can't wait to go back. read more

I made the trip downstairs from the hotel room in hopes that breakfast would still be served around 10:30am. I seated myself and was promptly tended to by a server, who I later learned her name was Maria. Let me start with the atmosphere-casual, clean, crisp, comfy and loved the masons jar silverware display on the tables. I ordered an omelette-with bacon, cheddar, and onions. It came with white toast, not what I had ordered, but Maria graciously made the change, as she was the one that recommended I give the banana bread a try and I'm so glad that I did. The food was delish! I also ordered hot tea and i was delivered my own personal kettle and matching mug and was provided a new tea bag and a to go cup as well. Maria was very sweet, and attentive. She was personable and genuinely seemed interested in making her interactions with me by asking about my football team( I was wearing a buffalo bills shirt) and asking what brought me to town. Thank you for a great meal and great service! Keep up the great work read more

This restaurant was to die for! Not only was the food amazing, so was the service! Colby was sweet and so attentive! She knew the menu, and we tried so many things from the grilled cheese and tomato soup, the chicken biscuit with their homemade pimento cheese, and their fried chicken. My husband ordered their banana bread and it was so amazing! My husband had seen their 1 pound donut on a YouTube review so had to try it and it definitely didn't disappoint us! So so good that we'll be back! read more

Stoke - 1 pound donut - New American Near Me - Charlotte, North Carolina

I went here with my sister and her future sister - in - law. My sister made reservations at 7 but we arrived at 6:45 and was sat right away. They also have free valet parking if dining at Stoke (located inside the Marriott hotel).The hostess made sure to ask if we were okay with a booth; which we all said yes too, the only strange part was she motioned me to go ahead of her. I was aimlessly walking because how am I supposed to know which table you are seating me? The interior was modern rustic. The made sure to incorporate wood pieces but still made it modern in style. The plates were a combination of ceramic plates and wooden boards. It is a lot bigger than it seems to be "just inside a hotel." The attire is casual but many did dress a little nicer. We sat down and were quickly greeted by our waitress Molly. The menu is a little on the small side (fits on one big paper) but the flavors are definitely all there! All of us decided to share so we could try everything since we have never been here before and also to share the cost. From the Share: - Pretzel Brioche: Came with three different butters; I believe the first one had garlic and whole grain beads inside (my favorite of the three). Next, they had a cheerwine butter; you are in the south after all. Lastly, was a honey butter and just as most are; sweet but not too much. Usually pretzel breads/rolls are a little harder but this was so soft and the little bit of saltiness from the pretzel was great. - Mom's Deviled Eggs: Love that they chopped the bread and butter pickles to put on top instead of putting one big piece of it like I have seen other restaurants do. In order for them to lay flat on the plate they have to cut the bottom, this makes it a little thinner so be careful. - Pork Belly: Absolutely delicious. I was worried the watermelon molasses was going to be too sweet but it was just right, not sticky and gross. I would rather not share this item because of the portion size. The bottom was charred and it gave the dish a great crunch and smoky flavor to each bite. - Winter Roots: Plated beautifully and when added to our entrees, went well. It was also a nice palette cleanser if ate alone. Included beets, radishes, caraway, and buttermilk. From the Entree: - Scallops: They had five on the plate but they were not small. The were cooked perfectly. They were placed on top of a ham hock consommé; which was at the right level, not overflowing but enough to taste. - Sticky Pork Shank: We asked what the menu favorite was and this was what was recommended. This did not let us down. Definitely my favorite dish of the night. The meat fell off the bone, was not dry, and the sauce was there but not even needed (but who doesn't love sauces). From the Companions: - Esquites: This corn salad was delicious but definitely a sharing side dish. - Crispy fingerlings: These potatoes were cooked to have a slight crunch, that usually you don't get, and it was paired with a creamy aioli. My only suggestion - have the aioli come on the side and not the bottom below several fingerlings. - Green Beans: Had a little spice to them, a nice crunch from the pistachios, and the apples added a crunch but a sweet acidity as well. - Broccoli: I personally did not eat this because I do not like broccoli that much but the other two did. They agreed there was a spice to it which is unexpected but it was tasty overall. From the Dessert Menu: (This is a completely separate menu that you have to ask for) - Apple Pie: We also got a scoop of vanilla ice cream to accompany the pie. It was served warm and came out in a mini cast iron skillet. The crust was too hard and not flaky (we could barely cut it) but the filling was the best part! They topped it with oats instead of a dutch crumble and I personally like the added crunch this gave to the dessert. From the Cocktails: - Espresso Martini: I love coffee/espresso and when you mix it with Kahlua, even better. The glass was unexpectedly small but it tasted great and I hope the pour count was accurate! Overall a great first time experience, will definitely be going back! read more

We had a group of 8 at dinner on 12/17. First, it is way over priced for what you get. I am an avid foodie and have no problem paying for quality but I personally had a small piece of Sea Bass as my entrée and it was $28. My wife had a few shrimp, a few clams and some broth. No sides, nothing. We ordered sides. The sides which are pitched as "family style" are great if you have a family of one. The service was mediocre. Our waitress was not very good at cleaning up. The only positive is the style and ambience. That is great and the open kitchen concept is nice. Now maybe comparing this to Dressler's, Del Frisco, Essex, Custom Shop, Good Food and other great Charlotte restaurants is where I went wrong. It is not in any of those restaurants league. read more

A friend and I went to Stoke for Valentine's Day which was not very busy at all. We did make a reservation. It was complimentary valet which was a nice benefit. For the most part, our food was good. I had the scallops and hush puppies which were very good. My friend had the chicken and mac and cheese. The chicken itself was very bland, but the sauce and seasoning put on it were fine. Wish the chicken had more flavor. The drinks were very good. Nice date spot. read more

Don't put Stoke on the bottom of your list of places to try in CLT. Start at the bar! The aperole spritz and Spanish G&T are legit! And then repeat after me, " I NEED THE PRETZEL BRIOCHE." Follow that up with the best entrees: clam and oyster linguine and the stoke burger with a side of charred broccoli and the Mac and Cheese (duh). End with the chocolate hazelnut tort and you could probably die happy. Take some friends! Perfectly located in uptown- don't wait! read more

The service, wine, and dessert were amazing. The dinner...not so much. While I would like to give them a pass because it was restaurant week in Charlotte, that would not be fair. During restaurant week I think it is important for these places to put their best foot forward, sadly that is not always the case, as was our experience at stoke. I ordered the deviled eggs, the pork belly, and the donut holes as our three course meal for restaurant week. The eggs were bland, the pork belly had a chance to be great but was accompanied by a somewhat plain brick of rice. The donut holes were nothing short of amazing, saving the day, with fresh whipped cream and heath bar sprinkles. Our service both at the bar before sitting for dinner and from our waitress were first rate. They were the only things that kept this review from being three stars. We will be back to try it one more time during a "regular" week. Hopefully it's better as we were really looking forward to a quality dining experience here. read more

I visited Stoke for Charlotte restaurant week 2019. They were booked with reservations the first Friday night but we were told that the bar area is first come first serve but full menu. I arrived and wasn't sure where to enter. I saw a door with stoke on it, went through the second door and found myself in the bar area without a host stand. I stood there for quite some time looking at the bartenders before a server directed me around a corner to the host stand. She showed me where the open bar seating was. The area has a really nice vibe with low lighting. Our service was quite slow but I assume this is because of the bar seating. It's quite confusing though since the bar area seemed to be almost the same size as the restaurant seating, so why not have proper service everywhere? If you're unfamiliar with Restaurant week, it's $35 for a 3-4 course meal. You have a variety of options for each course. So, with that said, I ate with two others and we all ordered different appetizers, entrees and desserts. We tried the deviled eggs, pretzel bread, and cheese plate. This was definitely the best part of the meal. The eggs were very tasty and the pretzel bread was soft and came with three kinds of sauces. The bread itself was lightly sweet and amazing. The cheese plate was pretty bare and had a couple of slices of cheese, honey drizzled so lightly we couldn't actually use it, and less than a handful of nuts and fruits. For the entree we had the lamb, shrimp and grits, and the pork. The lamb was recommended but was our least favorite. It was fine, but nothing special. It was also a very small portion. The shrimp and grits were quite tasty and a good size portion. The pork can I top of rice with some very thinly sliced pickles and crunchy flavoring on top. This dish was tasty but not something I would go back for. Lastly we ordered dessert. We had a s'mores sandwich, a brownie, and doughnut holes with heath bar. The smores sandwich tasted like a raisin cookie and was difficult to eat. The middle part oozed out and we never really got to taste it as it became pure liquid. The doughnut holes were your run of the mill doughnuts and on top of a whip cream bed with heath bar. We did not finish this or the s'mores sandwich. We also had the brownie which was quite tasty but only enough for 4 bites. We also tried a cocktail which was amazing! It was something along the lines of blackberry bramble. I would go back strictly for this drink! Overall, it was not at all worth the $35(+cocktail). It was a fairly average meal at an upscale location. Definitely take an Uber here as parking is hard to find uptown read more

So we've been here a few times, only for drinks though. Old Fashioned is one of the best in town. Good craft selection. Made custom drinks at request of my wife, all of which she loved. Have laid eyes on the pork shank a few times and it looks amazingly delicious. All the bartenders are very nice. Place also has pretty cool ambiance. Will be back to grab some food at some point. read more

Visited the place on a previous occasion and it was much better than today's experience. Hush puppies, brioche, octopus, and s'mores ice cream sandwich were all pretty good. The cassoulet in the wood fired chicken was salty and the pork shank was dry as f***; had to wrestle with it to get meat off the bone. If executed correctly I bet it'd be much better. Service was pleasant. read more

Such a nice find in Downtown Charlotte! The deviled eggs were good. Nice wine selection. Contemporary, open-air ambiance. The duck and mushroom risotto special was unbelievable. It's been three days and I keep thinking about this meal. Next time I'm in Charlotte, I'll be back, delish! read more

Not horrible, but definitely not close to the usual, think outside the box restaurants. We ordered a lot of their dishes between the 4 of us, 4 apps and 5 main dishes. To start off though, wine list is pretty weak. I don't like to commit to a wine by ordering the bottle, so we ordered glasses of wine and mix cocktails. I thoroughly enjoyed the mixed concoctions, but wine was just eh. So we ordered a few appetizers, the pretzel bread, octopus, family board and pork belly. I'll start by saying the pretzel bread was pretty good, but the mustard butter and cheerwine butter was a little overboard. Octopus was the highlight of the appetizers, tender and flavorful. Charcuterie was sub-par, not very good combinations of hams and cheese. Pork belly was burnt and I know the difference between a nice sear and burnt to a crisp, we couldn't enjoy the richness of the dish because of it, needless to say, our server and I think the food runner, were completely naive to the fact that we are ordering a good bit of food and for some reason when they take the plates away, there's still a decent amount left on them. I came to eat good food, I didn't come for restaurant week or for free stuff, but at the very least, at some point, the question should've arisen as to why there was so much food left on our plates, but it never happened. And might I add, she still was tipped 25%-30% on a $350 ticket. Now main courses, 50-50 is the general consensus between the 4 of us. We ordered an entree each and wanted to share the scallops. Pork shank was very flavorful and rich, but not hard to do because there is a lot of fat near the bone, the sauce that it was drenched in was ok at best, less is more sometimes. Duck was pretty good, it came with grits, 1st rule of cooking, season your food, grits tasted like watered down oats, oh that's right... Again less is more, it was engulfed in a pool of sauce. Flat Iron steak, was pretty dang good if you ask me. Perfectly cooked, nicely seasoned (cause it wasn't sitting in a pool of sauce). Pork chop was a little on the dry side, but not horrible. Now the scallops, cooked perfectly, but again less is more, sitting in a pool of curry sauce where the turmeric way overpowered the scallops, dab it, drizzle it, douse it, sprinkle it, but for the love of god, leave the scallop alone. If you know anything about scallops, they are tender and juicy, with a little seasoning and a nice sear/baste, they will be perfect, garnish and drop a little bit of your sauce on it or around it and you'll have a perfect dish. Don't allow them to sit in a pool of yellow curry with no vegetables, so it's either a curry dish or a sauce, but can't be both if you're missing vegetables or you're over saucing them. So I know I sounded harsh, but the chef(s) should take heath into the fact that this same table is here on a slow Sunday night, ordering almost everything on the menu. Be mindful! It's not Restaurant Week! Unless that's the crowd you are trying to pull in! Although not horrible, not memorable either. Oh by the way, don't go by the pictures, a little misleading considering all the plating was completely different. read more
