D'Anna's Kitchen - Black old avocado

It was the typical hometown diner. Very busy (always a good sign), super friendly staff, great…read moreportions and good food. It was clean and well kept.

Today I decided to try a south west chicken burrito that has avocado. To my surprise when I opened…read morethe box, the avocado was visibly dark and black! I called and asked if they check the avocado before putting in the food, and the person that answered said she didn't do it, that's the cooks......there was a weird moment of silence when nothing was said so I said hello? She rudely yelled I AM STILL HERE! It took me by surprise how rude she responded and I asked so is there some type of solution she could offer me because I just felt like how could you even put this in someone's food and feel like it's ok? I understand whoever answered the phone did not assemble the damn burrito but if your going to answer the phone, you are now the face of the establishment and the very very minimum you could have done is offer a simple apology and ask to POLITELY bring it back so the matter could be resolved. Instead she literally started yelling over the phone with a disgusting attitude and getting defensive! At this point I was just shocked at how this person was acting so I hung up, because I felt like if this is how your going to act over the phone, I can only assume you'd be the one to spit in my food. NO THANK YOU! This behavior is not acceptable, and if your going to be in a customer service position, learn how to provide appropriate customer service in general because this could have easily been handled without being rude and nasty! I will never spend my money here again!

Had a couples massage at the Ballantyne Resort and got hungry so we walked across the bridge and…read morediscovered Postino's! What a find! 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

5 Stars -- Great Food, Great Drinks, Great Experience!…read more BABYYYY!!! Let me tell you about 44 Mills Kitchen + Tap! Everything was absolutely DELICIOUS!!! I ordered the Steak & Egg Skillet, and it did NOT disappoint! The steak was flavorful, the entire dish was delicious, and every bite was worth it! And let's talk about that French Toast Espresso Martini! Imani made my drink, and she did her THING!!! It was absolutely delicious and the perfect complement to my meal! I also had the pleasure of interacting with Julia, who I believe is a manager. She was SUPER friendly and welcoming! Great customer service always makes a dining experience that much better! The restaurant offers both indoor and outdoor dining, the atmosphere is inviting, and the prices are very reasonable for the quality of food and experience! Great food, delicious cocktails, friendly people, AND reasonable prices?! YES, PLEASE!!! 44 Mills, you definitely have a returning customer! 10/10 -- Highly recommend!

I had the lavender lemonade cocktail with Ketel One, and it was AMAZING. Refreshing, flavorful and not overly sweet. I also tried the chicken lollipops and deviled eggs, and both were delicious. The wings were crispy, saucy and packed with flavor, and the deviled eggs were really good too. Nothing was bland! The service was just as good as the food. I wish I could remember the names of the gentleman and young lady who took care of me because they were both so helpful, attentive and welcoming. The ambiance is cute and relaxed -- definitely a place where you can sit, have a good cocktail, eat some good food and enjoy yourself. I will absolutely be back because there are several other things on the menu I want to try.

As I mentioned before, I'd…read morekeep coming back; and, true to my word, I'm literally there every Sunday for Brunch, grinning like I own the place while the staff (who are absolute gems, by the way) welcome me in. I've also stopped by for dinner a few times, and let me tell you, these folks don't miss. The food? Always fresh and delicious. The service? Fast, professional, and somehow still warm and personable. They've really built a fantastic team here, and at this point, I'm pretty sure I qualify for honorary family membership. Someone get me a name tag that says "MSB Cousin." If you're ever there for Brunch when the "Big Stack" is on the menu, please try it. You're going to love it, and the many other brunch and dinner items on the menu.

Her club was huge and stuffed with cheese and meat and really good looking bacon. My chicken tenders were big and well cooked and the honey mustard sauce was excellent. Even with them closing in a few minutes we didn't feel rushed or in the way. They were attentive to us keeping our drinks filled and making sure I got a box to take my chicken home for later. Yes their chicken tenders were good enough to want to take home. Hope to visit again soon.

The…read moredonuts in a bag were a highlight - piping hot and very light and airy dough, not heavy like a typical donut. We enjoyed them immensely ... and we should have stopped there. Our entrees came it was a big disappointment. My eggs Benedict with fresh greens was nothing more than a very bland English muffin, not toasted, not warmed up and hard to cut through. Borderline stale tasting. The ham slice was like a piece of deli ham folded over. They attempted to heat it up, or it was left under the heat lamps too long before serving because the sides of the ham were hard. The eggs were nice - hard to mess those up and the sauce - which was very skimpy - lacked any kind of taste. My fresh greens salad was wilted which gives me reason to believe I my dish was left too long under the heat lamps. This was so disappointing. We didn't mention this to our waiter, we just paid our bill and left. My husband had the hash, recommended by our waiter and it too lacked taste. His dish was better than mine but not the quality we were hoping for when we had such a great lunch there once before. Not sure if they changed chefs or kitchen staff or management, but definitely not the Sunday brunch we set out to have.
