    Found a new date night spot.. no pun intended but yes it's local for us! Great service and can't wait to try more of their menu! Saw this restaurant on Charlotte's Restaurant week website. I wanted to take the husband out to another Queens Fest to try more 'local' flavors. And he loved this spot. He had the Rocky River Ribeye, with herb butter- perfectly seared, light crust, very good. For me I did the Queens feast .. bacon wrapped scallops, French onion soup, 10oz peppercorn sirloin. And wow! So so good. And I loved my drinks.. thymed to get smashed. Excellent spot for a date night. We sat at the bar. Great service. I can't wait to try their desserts next time...

    After visiting the Reed Gold Mine. We wanted to get a local bite. Found this place and let me tell you. Not disappointed AT ALL. The staff was super friendly and welcoming, the interior was extremely clean and had various locations to sit including bar with TV. But the food... my goodness! The absolute cherry on top for this place. We all tried a couple things but there wasn't a single item that we found to be bad. Would absolutely recommend for anyone passing through.

    I stopped by The Local Room on Father's Day weekend with my girlfriend and her family. I wasn't too sure what to expect, but it had a big crowd and the menu looked enticing so I was excited. The experience was mixed. It took us nearly half an hour to get our drinks and I'm not exaggerating. Our server was very apologetic, it sounds like the bar was really backed up due to a shortage on glasses. It wasn't enjoyable waiting that long, but I understand sometimes things like that happen and the manager came by and comped all of our drinks so it is nice that they acknowledged it. You would think that would put their score lower, but I have to say the food was excellent. I got a Cajun chicken sandwich that was absolutely delicious. The chicken was blackened and came with bacon and a garlic aoli that was delectable. Aside from the service hiccup which was likely just a fluke and not the usual experience, this restaurant was great and I wouldn't hesitate to return.

    Passing through Locust and found this great place for a bite to eat and beverage. Plenty of seating. Friendly helpful staff. We shared a full portion of shrimp crab stuffed mushrooms. Delicious!! Definitely come back.

    Solid 5 stars!!!!! This place is gorgeous and so, so clean and stylish on the inside!!!! We made reservations and were glad we did, because the parking lot was totally full other than one available spot!!!! The hostess was so kind and helpful and took us to a clean table right away. Our waitress was a really sweet girl. She was very helpful when we were ordering drinks for brunch, letting us know about local favorites!! My mom and I enjoyed two amazing cocktails, along with a delicious app. Our appetizer was the green fried tomatoes! They were sweet and savory at the same time, so deliciously made and smothered in fresh, amazing toppings!!! Then we ordered another appetizer, the fried squash! It was seasoned beautifully!!!! And fried just right!!! The ranch was zesty and tasted house made!! We ordered two French onion soups for our entrees and were not disappointed!!!! I mean it was exactly what I needed today!!! We finished off the outing with some creme brûlée, which I had never had before. It was fantastic!!! Everything was served so beautifully and delicately! The portion sizes were customizable, where you could do an individual portion or a shareable or bigger portion, which I was pleased to see on the menu. Most places don't give you that option, so I appreciated that!!! We also visited the bathrooms and I had never seen a more pristine and clean-smelling restroom!!! They were like bathrooms you see on commercials!! It smelled like clean lemon in the bathrooms and was absolutely spotless!!! I am so happy we got to visit today and I will be back again soon with my husband and my girlfriends!!!! Highly recommend!!!!

    So, let first start off with the food and cocktails at Burtons, which always represents! I have yet…read moreto order anything that was not a hit. What really stands out with Burtons at Birkdale is the service! I have only eaten at a table once, I tend to eat at the bar. Like previous bartenders, today was no different. I had a great conversation with Sam this evening; who made the Pappardelle Bolognese recommendation. Great job Sam! She really made my dining experience pleasant with her conversation; without neglecting the other customers at the bar. As for the ambiance, it is always a nice place to dine. I am grateful to live walking distance from Burtons Management, keep up the good work. The staff seems to enjoy working at Burton.

    Came here with a last minute reservation with my dear hubs the other night as he requested we go…read moresomewhere healthy. I was seated immediately while waiting for him to arrive. My server was amazing as we (Im)patiently waited for him. I ordered the roasted beet tower to start. Finely diced marinated beets with a thin slice of goat cheese topped with mixed greens and a vinaigrette. This dish tasted so fresh! My husband's only complaint was chasing the tiny beets around the plate (first world problems) I chose to have a cup of their creamy chicken soup. No rice, no potato filler - cream based, fresh chicken mushrooms and carrots danced around my mouth. Topped with Gruyère (I think) each bite was like a rich warm hug from grandma Our entrees arrived in a timely manner - him having the ahi tuna poke bowl. He chose to substitute the rice for mixed greens. He devoured the entree and noted the tuna being sweet for the longer sear - his fault, he forgot to ask for it to be cooked extremely rare or done raw, poke style as it was to be a poke bowl which is typically served raw. I chose the harvest bowl. A base of rice and quinoa topped with Brussel sprouts, beets, greens, goat cheese, and butternut squash. I chose to add grilled shrimp. Holy cow. I felt like all of the vegetables were home grown from the chef's garden. Perfectly roasted and seasoned. An impressive rice/quinoa topped vegetable ratio exceeded all expectations!!!
