We sat in a booth near the bar inside facing the tv that had a great football game. The restaurant is bright and welcoming and the service was outstanding! Our server had great knowledge of the menu and shared the most popular and her favorites to help us decide on food. Signed up for Postino Pass and got a free Bruschetta board with 4 varieties: Salmon pesto, bacon burrata, buffalo cauliflower, and Mexican street corn. This was a great and flavorful start to our outing. My wife was drinking wine ($6 glass for happy hour) and I had an excelsior cider. After joining the clean plate club with the bruschetta, we ordered the Chef's Charcuterie for our second and final course. It had crispy crackers and toast. It had cured meat, olives, feta whip, hummus, artichoke, spicy almond and cheese. Everything made a good mix of tastes and flavors and it was plenty to share for 2 people. To top it off, I asked about a Veteran's discount when I was getting ready to pay the bill and our server went to ask her manager and she came back and said they don't have a discount but gave me a discount anyway! I can honestly say that is the FIRST time in my life that someone has created a Veteran discount that didn't exist. I highly recommend anyone in the Ballantyne area to visit Postino's and enjoy a great meal, in a welcoming environment, with very hospitable servers. I have a new favorite place for drinks and food in Ballantyne. Thanks for making my Birthday outing special for my wife and I. Cheers!

Yuminess: 10/10 Allergy Safety: 10/10…read morePrice: 9/10 Atmosphere: 10/10 Service: 10/10 Overall: LOVE Postino! 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

Our group of 11 experienced good service at the beginning, but it fizzled after drinks were served. The food was quite delightful and the ambiance was perfect for a birthday. Lively music played in the background. As for the food, salmon was served well done and we were not asked how we like it prepared therefore several people felt it was overcooked, Overall taste was good but you should request blackened if hoping for more flavor. I was pleasantly surprised by the burrata salad. It's simple yet the drizzle elevates the tomato and bread effortlessly. Everyone was pleased. My only request is to train the staff on how to split the birthday meal across checks. Most restaurants have an easy way to do this.

Love the concept - this is a welcomed addition to Ballantyne for sure. My lower star rating is…read morestrictly based on the food - it was really NOT good. Maybe it was an off night or they were too busy, but items were overcooked or fried stuff tasted the same (and like it came from an old vat of oil). It was really underwhelming and we could hardly eat any of it - even the teenager who generally eats anything without question paused and left food untouched. We'll likely try again but def going to avoid fried stuff (which I get is easy and generally the best for this kind of atmosphere but it was lackluster at best). Drinks were fine but refills on soft drinks took awhile or never came. The staff was hustling but they maybe need more on the weekend evenings to keep things moving and comfortable
