We had such an incredible experience here. By far the best sushi we have ever had. Everything from…read morethe service to the quality of the food was outstanding and exceeded every expectation. Being from California, we did not think our sushi standards could be topped, but this place completely proved us wrong. Some of our favorites were the salmon belly, the red snapper sampler, the yellowtail, and the slam on hand rolls. Everything was incredibly fresh and beautifully prepared. We also loved that they had Echigo beer, which is not easy to find and was a great addition to the meal. One thing that really stood out was how well balanced everything was. Nothing felt overwhelming or heavy, and every dish felt thoughtfully put together. Honestly, you cannot go wrong with any of the rolls here. I could not recommend this place more. An amazing experience from start to finish.

Excellent Sushi in North Carolina. No, I'm not high but I definitely was on Cloud 9 during and…read moreafter my dinner at Prime Fish. But, I'm getting ahead of myself. I'll start at the beginning ... My friend and I spent the week of New Years in North Carolina. If you wanna know why, ask. Just know it includes trolls. On the tail end of the trip, we were looking for dinner and tried to dine at Prime Fish - even driving out to the restaurant only to find it was closed (New Years Day). But we did make it out the next night. Without reservations even (reservations not taken) - without a wait and had what I felt was the best meal of the week. Seated at the bar, we got to see the chefs in action. They were busy all night but still managed to engage with the guests - many were regulars and like the chefs, uber friendly. Conversations with the guests was just a bonus that made the evening one that I won't soon forget. But back to Prime Fish ... Service was excellent. We were tended to on the likes that is deserving of the Michelin recognition. It's not just about the food. Our server was attentive, friendly, funny and genuinely took the time and energy to make sure we had a great time. Even left us with her favorite candy - see pic. Then there's the fish. The fresh sashimi and sushi. Started off with an Toro Imperial (fatty tuna, sea urchin, sturgeon caviar, sea salt and microgreens). If not for the price tag ($50), I would have ordered more. We both opted for a premium Sashimi Tasting ($27). Each. I wasn't going to share. Not being enough, I ordered a Sushi Tasting while she ordered a Salmon Tasting. See pics - of my orders but know they won't do the fish, or the restaurant and chefs any justice. I could use all the key words used to describe an excellent Sashimi/Sushi experience but words can't and won't come close. I've had Sashimi/Sushi all over the world. I've been in places that just ooze "expensive" and had a decent experience. What I really enjoyed is that walking in, the makeshift "outdoor" patio wouldn't make you think this is a Michelin "recognized" establishment. The strip mall location or even the single counter and few tables. Made me feel like it was just a simple restaurants with excellent food and service. Just like the Michelin Guide inspectors felt.

Otherwise this was a great way to end my quick visit to Charlotte

We selected the Shake Shake Seafood restaurant due to its distinctive Jukebox feature, which…read moreperfectly complemented our Mother's Day celebration. Upon arrival, we curated a playlist of our favorite tunes on the Jukebox, accompanied by orders of drinks and a Fried Calamari appetizer. Opting for variety, we chose the shrimp, snow-crab, and black mussel combo shaker bag along with a fried shrimp basket. Notably, one female patron was inspired to rise from her seat and dance briefly as our selected music played, creating a convivial atmosphere that likely enhanced the experience for all Mother's Day attendees. The cuisine was outstanding, and the boiled seafood shaker bags came with a selection of seasonings and spice levels, though I don't recall ours specifically. The seafood in the shaker bag was cooked to perfection, and the fried seafood was both tasty and crispy. If I were to offer a suggestion, the corn on the cob in the shaker bag might have benefited from slightly less cooking time. We emptied the bag, save for the juices, and even ordered hush puppies to enjoy with the remaining broth. Our server was exceptional, providing unhurried service, keeping our beverages replenished, and ensuring an overall memorable Mother's Day experience.

First off, this is my go to for lunch…read more There is plenty of parking here. I've never had an issue getting a table Even at lunchtime. I normally make reservations just to be on the safe side. I prefer a booth and I normally am able to get one. The staff meeting you at the door are always nice and friendly. They will seat you immediately. the waitstaff here are pretty awesome. The scene here is a little dark and moody and this is what I love about this restaurant... Very Dramatic! Now Food ‼ So, if this is your first time and you want to keep it light, I highly recommend the cob salad! This is the best salad because of the homemade croutons! The serving is pretty large and the dressings our house made and every single one of them are great. My favorite would be the Thai dressing, if I had to pick. I've also tried the burger and it is extremely HUGE and flavorful. You may not be able to eat it all in one setting. I've also had the blackened salmon with the pasta and it was perfectly cooked. I get mine at medium rare. TIMING~ The servants come out pretty fast. By the time you've had your first drink the food is already coming out. This is my honest review as I have been coming here for the past decade and I've never had an issue. You will be pleased. This is also the perfect spot for a first date, business meeting, anniversary and also a birthday.. P.S. Another reason why I am drawn to this particular location, is that 131 Main has maintained a clean place to eat. My number one pet peeve is a messy bathroom. I have yet to find any issues with this restaurant. The bathrooms are always clean Everything is fully stocked and servers are Super attentive, so I will continue to come back.

Service ( A+) best we have seen in town…read more Food quality: (B) : food was good just not exciting, pork chop was under-salted for the size and ok in flavor and borderline too dry. Crab cakes were much better in comparison- but glad we substituted fries or the dish would have been too heavy. Cauliflower side dish however wasn't the best choice- overpowered by cheese and toppings. Banana cream pie dessert was great- next level would have been with a banana foster twist to the fresh banana, but the crust was perfect! Ambiance: (A) comfortable but louder than expected. Outside looked amazing for a nice night! Very busy main room which is a good sign for quality but hard for reservations and turn over. Would we go back? Yes Would we order the same thing? Prob try something different.

If I could rate that…read more I saw a review about how delicious the burgers were -so I headed on over for lunch It was a Saturday so it was pretty busy so I nabbed the last space at the bar It's a very welcoming and lovely space - I liked the ambiance . The workers were very very busy and they were going at a fast pace -a smooth oiled machine you could tell The prices are .... Not cheap - but with prices going up so quickly all the time it's hard to know if they were re sent raised or what. That said- a great environment and very good to great food is WORTH more -to a foodie I ordered the burger - cooked medium I waited at least 30 min for it-but that's the nice thing about sitting at the bar. You can watch all the activity and look around and not be bored and get a feel for the place. When it came, it looked very nice on the plate-the brioche bun is huge-and being slightly gluten intolerant I could eat it, but I did not eat the whole bun because it is super thick. I wish I could say that about the meat! I was surprised at how thin the patty was considering the price of the burger, and especially how thick the bun was!!! It's not that it was super thin, but it was thin for that price point-and it was not cooked medium. It was completely brown throughout, but that's probably because it was thinner. I can eat well done but it's not my first choice. So to me for the price of the meal, it wasn't worth it, but I would go back and order a dish that is not a hamburger and give them another chance because I think they deserve it with everything else being a very positive experience I've got to look thru my 35,000 pictures to find more from this restaurant-cause I know I took more! I'll try to add them

My wife and I got a hamburger and Honey Hot Chicken Sandwich which were both delicious Our kids got Steaks and potatoes both cooked medium. Our one son's steak was perfect the over was very rare but edible my son made mention of it to the waitress but was going to still eat it and the waitress insisted on cooking it more and apologized. My son had already eaten the potato and 1/4 of the steak. About 5-10 min later a whole new steak and potato came out. Absolutely Completely unnecessary!!!! Simply cooking the old steak a few mins more would have been perfect. They went above and beyond even offered a dessert as an apology!!! I assume it was the manager who came over and apologized as well as another gentleman. There was nothing even wrong with the Steak other than it being rare. The waitress and staff went absolutely above and beyond to rectify the slight issue. Awesome customer service!!!! We will certainly be back next time we're in Charlotte normally we frequent Firebirds in Greenville South Carolina and have always had a great time with great food their. Keep up the great work Certainly wasn't unnoticed!!!!! Thank you!

Eager to order, I tried ordering on their website...then I tried calling in an order. I learned that during peak hours, they shell out all their attention to in-house diners, leaving digital hopefuls like me high and dry. The sandwich shop was small and it had some outside seating. The service was indeed slow, but the food was excellent. If you're expecting a humongous lobster roll, think again. Their lobster rolls were the same time as most...which means they weren't large at all. But the ingredients were quality. When in the mood for lobster rolls, I'll return.

Sometimes you walk into a Cuban spot and you're just hoping it feels like abuela's kitchen... and…read moreAzucar Cuban Restaurant gets pretty close. Started off with the sopa de pollo, and yeah... that's the kind of soup that doesn't just warm you up--it resets your whole mood. Rich, comforting, and tasted like it's been simmering with purpose all day. Then came the masa de puerco... crispy, juicy, and seasoned the way it should be. No shortcuts, no playing around--just straight-up authentic flavor. You can tell they respect the roots here. The vibe? Clean, welcoming, no frills--just letting the food do the talking. Now... full transparency--I'm very picky with Cuban food. When you grow up on homemade, you carry that standard forever. And let's be real... nothing--and I mean nothing--touches my mom's cooking. But Azucar? They earned their respect. Solid spot when you need that Cuban fix in this area.

I ordered a couple variations of Mojitos and they were outstanding! The waitress also told me that they have a sangria special and a wine special day. I have spent quite a bit of time in the Tampa area, which has a very large Cuban population so I am very familiar with Cuban food and the way it's supposed to be. Well, let me tell you, this place doesn't disappoint! I haven't had Picadio in years so I ordered that and it was delicious! Their Ropa Vieja is very authentic as well. What's really amazing is that they have a lunch menu that they serve until 3 PM. The prices are great especially for lunch! The atmosphere feels authentic with giant murals, old photos and a huge Cuban Flag painted on looks to be driftwood. The place also has an authentic Cabana feel to it. Overall, I consider this the best Cuban restaurant in the entire Charlotte Metro Area! Cheers!

Most of us got this platter which is the captain's platter. It came with devil crab, Jumbo, shrimp, baby shrimp, scallops, oysters, a piece of flounder and one side of your choice in which I got a baked sweet potato. It was so much food. I literally was able to eat off the plate three times. You can literally share the plate with someone! It's not overpriced and everything was cooked fresh. I'm not even a fan of coleslaw and it was actually pretty good. 10 out of 10. I highly recommend. We did have a wait, they were busy but it was all worth it. The staff were nice and friendly!! They even took my cake to the back until we were ready for it so we could have more room on the table! I already can't wait to go back!

I went with one of the fried platters, featuring catfish, scallops, and clam strips. It was way too much for me to finish and I ended up taking most of it home. It was all delicious, but I'll bet I can make at least two more meals out of it. Oh, and the hushpuppies are to die for. The best hushpuppies I've gotten anywhere - and the honey "butter" completes the experience. It's a popular place. Always crowded. But it's definitely one of the better places to eat in the greater Charlotte area.
