    Shrimp and grits
    Rebecca S.

    We came with a reservation for brunch but definitely didn't need one. The restaurant was pretty empty at 9am on a Sunday. The staff was quick to seat us, though not particularly inviting or welcoming. The restaurant was small but quiet and we sat at a nice table by the window. We started with the beignets and they were fantastic. I loved the jams that came with them. My sister got the shrimp and grits and reported they were great. I got a BYO omelette. It was great aside from a small hair found inside. Honestly the rest of the experience was positive so I wasn't really that bothered. The home fries were classic and tasty. I'd probably try other brunch spots nearby before returning, but overall I had a good experience here!

    We stopped in for a quick bite after leaving the Carolina Theater. The menu is very basic for an Uptown restaurant-but it's very reasonably priced. The food was okay at its best. It's not somewhere I'd recommend for a special occasion of any sort. It's nicely decorated and has a nice ambiance but the service is very lax, too lax to be honest. If you're staying at the hotel and don't feel like ordering delivery or heading out it would suffice but it's definitely not worth a trip to the city for.

    Pork chop

    Charming and a great location for the theaters. The drinks weren't bad. Prices were about average. Their math wasn't mathin' though. Their pre fixe dinner menu (the special) was a choice of soup or Spinach dip. One of three entrees and then a dessert for $45 dollars hmmm seems ok? Right?? Wrong. If you looked at the regular menu- and compared prices to the Pre fixe menu, you'd notice it was $6 more expensive to order the pre fixe menu than just ordering the same items separately! As for the food- meh. My salmon was ok, the roasted potatoes were salty, and the veggies were still a bit cold and tasted like the preseasons bag veggies from the store frozen section. We also got the pork chop. It was pretty good. The chutney added flavor for sure, and the mashed potatoes were good. I may stop in for a quick drink on the way to the theater but other than that.. I'd pass. $108 for two 'decent' dinners and three adult beverages.

    As a native of Charlotte I am absolutely ashamed that I have not been here before. I probably had the best burger ever in my life. Service was great, ambience amazing and everything very clean. Only thing that could make this experience better is if they had live jazz in the lobby of the hotel. I will definitely be back.

    Price fix menu for Lion King
    Julie S.

    I enjoyed the 3 course price fixe menu for the Lion King show and it was lovely. Highly recommend a reservation since it is a small venue, but I arrived early and was able to be seated. Wednesdays is half off bottles of wine. I enjoyed deviled eggs, salmon and chocolate cake. The service was very good!

    Deviled Eggs
    Megan L.

    Everything was just kind of okay. The deviled eggs were nothing special. We liked the mac and cheese. The grits in the shrimp & grits were god, just nothing impressed me as part of a really good meal.

    Eggs over easy.  Done correctly.

    Stayed at The Dunhill and had breakfast here, part of the hotel. Excellent. Service wonderful and prompt. Homemade biscuit divine. Grits good. Added on the jalapeno and Gouda potato pancake and glad I did. Just slightly creamy and spicy. Such delicate flavors. A real standout. 16 dollars not including tip. A bit expensive but not for a hotel restaurant on the main street of a fair sized city. Clean. Comfortable chairs. Very hospitable, inviting me to stay as long as I wished even though they were closing for an hour, before reopening for lunch. Great art, good music and a quiet and calming atmosphere. Recommended strongly.

    Sticky Biscuits

    This is one of my go to places for lunch or after work cocktails! The sticky buns and salmon lunch dish are amazing! The server who works lunch is incredible! The atmosphere is very elegant and great for a business lunch.

    WOW...One of the best stakes of my life! The Angus Beef Delmonico Ribeye Steak was absolutely fantastic. The meat melted in the mouth and was cooked perfectly. The Canadian Salmon was perfectly prepared and delicious. Drinks from the bar were A+. The Sticky Biscuits were yummy too.

    New menu

    The Asbury is quaint, but elegant. The inside is fairly small but they can accommodate a medium-sized group. They also offer a few patio tables out front. We made a reservation for a Sunday brunch. The sticky biscuits were my favorite. The icing is a little sweet, but overall, they were delicious. The coffee was bland, but I appreciated the flavor creamer options. The pancakes were good, but not exactly special. The staff was attentive, but not especially friendly. Everything came out in a reasonable amount of time. Parking deck was closed and the staff was not particularly helpful in finding an alternative. Please note, they Only validate for the 5th st. Parking garage

    It's been years since I've eaten at the Asbury and their recent reviews have been a little rough, so I was nervous having brunch here a few weekends back. BUT, omg! This was one of the best brunches I've had in a LONG time. The staff was great, helpful and all the things. But the star of the show was my food and my friends food too. I ordered the chicken and waffles, it was cooked to perfection and came with hot honey!!! So so so so good!!!! I added scrambled eggs with cheese and they were delicious as well. My friend ordered their banana pudding pancakes and I tasted those too and almost regretted my order haha. Next time I'll just ordered both! The food was REALLY that good! I'll definitely be back sooner rather than later for another delicious brunch!

    Biscuit appetizer
    Cyndee C.

    Service by TK was warm and welcoming. She gave excellent suggestions off the menu. The food, oh my goodness it is delicious! This chef starts you with sweet and savory options that should be packaged up as grab and go and will beat the pants off most dessert places in town. The banana walnut bread and biscuits are delicious. I had the omelette it was prepared with local farm eggs and fluffy and flavored perfectly no added salt or pepper needed. My husband had the breakfast special and it was his favorite meal we have had in Charlotte so far. My daughter had the Cajun Benedict and she said she will be back for more. We have stayed at the Dunhill several times and never ate here but we are regretting that now. Prices are more than fair and atmosphere inviting and beautiful decor. Great date place. I'm glad the bartender recommended it the night before we left!

The meatloaf was moist and cooked to perfection, as were the broccoli and mash potatoes with gravy. The fried chicken was crispy and moist.

The first time was in November 2025 and 2nd time March 2026 where the bartenders were professional, welcoming, knowledgeable, and made some of the best Bloody Marys we've had in Charlotte. The food was excellent, and we left both times excited to come back. Unfortunately, this Sunday's visit (around 2 p.m.) felt like a different restaurant. It was much busier, and service was noticeably lacking. We waited quite a while just to be acknowledged, our drinks weren't nearly the quality they had been before, and the Bloody Mary tasted like it came straight from a mix instead of being handcrafted like our previous visits. The food was also disappointing. It was much saltier than we remembered, and we never received the Caesar salad with steak we ordered. To the staff's credit, it wasn't on our bill, so we didn't mention it. Overall, no one was rude, but the attention to detail, professionalism, and overall experience that earned our previous five-star reviews just wasn't there this time. We're hoping this was simply an off day because we genuinely loved this place and would like to see it return to the high standard that made us regular customers.

The restaurant was very clean and the noise volume low enough to where we could visit and comfortably carry on conversations.

I ordered the steak frites and it was just wonderful! My boyfriend ordered the special which was halibut, asparagus, and mushroom risotto. Everything was perfect! The couple that was seated across from us split the special. The kitchen didn't hesitate to split this dish for them in the kitchen before bringing it out to our table. This is just excellent customer service! They are an elderly couple and could not possibly have eaten the entire meal by themselves. Our waiter was very attentive and nobody at the table ever had an empty glass. Also, your plate was cleared the moment that you finished with your meal. This was our first visit, but definitely not the last. Thank you for making our evening out with family and friends so very special. We will definitely be back in the near future.

The one on lettuce was better, more larger pieces of lobster, but meat was put onto a lot of lettuce to prop it up. It takes some effort, but buying a live lobster and cooking oneself is really the best way. I was hopeful- but ultimately disappointed.

Set in a charming old home, the aesthetic is incredibly welcoming with a quaint downstairs bar, a gorgeous outdoor patio, and cozy seating upstairs--there truly isn't a bad seat in the house. The staff and service are always exceptional, which only adds to the amazing experience. They offer daily specials alongside a rotating and standing menu, making every visit unique. There are so many standout dishes that it can be hard to choose, but my ultimate go-to is the seared ahi tuna salad. I don't know how they make that sesame and shoyu dressing, but it is one of a kind! I also highly recommend the hummus, the baked marinated Vermont goat cheese, "The Usual," and any of their steak options. Definitely don't skip dessert! On my last trip, I tried the strawberry shortcake, and it was divine. The goat cheese and cherry cheesecake and the rotating sorbets are also phenomenal. If you're grabbing a drink at the bar, be sure to check out their signature Matilda Wong, though they also make a stellar dirty martini!

They have always had, in my estimation, the best French onion soup around and I was craving it, so off I went. The restaurant off East Boulevard is an eclectic sort of place, and in my memory the interior hasn't ever changed. The wood is dark, the tables a bit worn and packed together to give a slightly claustrophobic feel, and the decor is always vaguely counterculture. For people who like NoDa and Plaza Midwood (before its recent transformation), it's homey as can be. I enjoyed the familiarity of its unpretentious surroundings as I took a seat in a tiny corner booth. Delighted to note that the French onion soup is as delicious as ever, with a richly flavored broth and a generous amount of bread and cheese baked in. While the quality hasn't diminished, thank heavens, the size has gone from a bowl to a cup. As it was my upcharged side I didn't mind terribly but still. Alas. Kudos to the kitchen for letting me have my soup before my sandwich was delivered, but here is where things went a little south. I had ordered The Usual, one of their trademark dishes, a hot open-faced chicken salad sandwich on a baguette topped with asparagus, mushrooms and cheese. It too has been the victim of shrinkflation, about 2/3 as big as once it was. Again, didn't mind terribly much but the toppings themselves were scant: three small strips of jarred or canned asparagus, four slices of mushroom. Okay, everything is expensive these days, but the edges of the sandwich were burned and the filling was cool, meaning the salamander setting was off and no one checked it before sending it out or putting it down. I might have considered sending it back but that's when my server disappeared. My water glass sat empty for half my meal and was never refilled. Even paying the check was sluggish. So I give the current state 300 East a solid three with a disappointed sigh because they seem to be phoning it in. Really great French onion soup, though.

The food is over the moon delicious with plenty of options and reasonable serving sizes. Even with the slightly high price point, it is well worth every penny. And they take allergies SO seriously! Literally went through a bunch of ingredients to find what would and wouldn't be dairy-allergy safe. Atmosphere is fun but cozy, too. 100% recommend! In-depth: Postino has quickly become one of my favorite places in the CLT area after my 10/10 experience here. To start, the food. My word, it's amazing! Everything my friend and I tried was delicious. The bruschetta is 100% worth trying (the spinach artichoke one is my favorite), and the west coaster panini + romaine salad was tasty at every bite. Their wine is also good quality, with a decent-sized portion poured. Allergy safety is a major thing for them, too. Our server (Lee = the best waitress!) and her manager looked through their bread and ingredients for about 30 minutes to confirm what was and wasn't dairy safe (I asked how dairy allergies are handled for when I bring my husband next time). They also had quite a few gluten-free options, too. The manager explained that she wants people to be able to just come in and relax for a few hours without worrying if they'll get sick, which I truly, truly appreciate. Lee shared a similar sentiment, which was amazing. Now price... Yes, it is a *bit* pricey, but it is well worth it. Nothing felt lacking as far as flavor goes, and the allergy safety is a huge thing. This is one of the few places I felt my sandwich and salad were worth every penny, even if it was $17. Also, their rewards program is great. I got a free bruschetta board, and they offer several other perks. Make sure to sign up before or while dining there to get some good deals! In addition to their sincere care for allergy safety, the service is fantastic all around. They do group service, meaning you'll have several servers, and they encourage you to grab anyone if you have questions. This takes the pressure off of waiting for one server to walk by and really helped me relax. And the atmosphere? I could stay there all day! It's a really fun vibe, but the lighting and seating are very cozy. Overall, I've already recommended this place to 5+ people and will be returning soon
