My girlfriend and I decided to eat at Twin Peaks and overall had a really good experience. The…read moreatmosphere is exactly what you'd expect from a sports lodge--tons of TVs everywhere so you can catch every game, but with that rustic outdoor theme too. Mounted game fish, moose, and deer heads give it that hunting-lodge vibe, which actually makes it a fun place to hang out and watch sports. We started with the Billionaire Bacon appetizer--six slices of bacon described as thick-cut, hickory-smoked and candied with brown sugar, red chile flakes, black pepper, smoked paprika, and cayenne. The flavor description was accurate, but the bacon itself really wasn't thick-cut and could've been much crispier. For the price, I expected better. If it had been thicker and crispy, it might've been worth it, but I probably won't order that again. My girlfriend ordered the Southwest Salad, and that dish absolutely delivered. It was a heaping portion topped with perfectly cooked sliced sirloin steak and shrimp, plus mixed greens, carrots, pico de gallo, roasted corn, black beans, pepper jack, and a jalapeño honey vinaigrette. She absolutely loved it. She also got a side of coleslaw, which was surprisingly delicious and a great addition to the meal. She paired everything with the Dirty Blonde beer, which definitely made up for the disappointing appetizer. I went with the naked garlic Parmesan wings and a side Caesar salad. Both were delicious. The wings were fried perfectly--crispy on the outside and juicy on the inside--and the flavor was spot on. I was very satisfied with them. Service was great as well. We actually had two servers because one was in training, and both of them were attentive, friendly, and made sure we were taken care of throughout the meal. Overall, I'd rate our experience a 4.5 out of 5. The food, drinks, service, and atmosphere were all really good, and we had a fun time. If not for the underwhelming Billionaire Bacon, this would've easily been a full 5. We'll definitely be back--just skipping that appetizer next time.

It seems that it has been hit and miss over the past six months or so. We typically stick to the same order for wings, burgers and pork chops.

I don't know when we will be back but it will be a while. We had a party of 4 adults and a child and with a tip and bull it was just under $100. It just appears that they are missing consistency.

Second time here, second time underwhelmed…read more The team went out for an evening dinner and some camaraderie. Very good time with everyone. A smattering of different opinions on the food. The menu is fairly deep and wide. Obviously, with the name of the restaurant, they offer a good variety of seafood options. Their specials for the evening both were seafood. Like the last time here they recommended the Chilean Seabass. What a shock, it's the most expensive item on the menu. Three people got it, they all said it was OK to good. I ordered the blackened mahi-mahi. By the description, it sounded good, I've had it other places, I've enjoyed it. Well, there's always a first time that it wasn't very good. That bs this time. To start, the portion size is decent. I understand we were a fairly large group, but they need to figure out a way to bring the food out at least warm. The most disappointing part of the fish was how dry it was. The second most disappointing part about the fish was how it lacked blackened seasoning. One other person also got the same menu item and had the exact same comments. I did start out with a side salad and it was acceptable. The lettuce was not too flimsy. It included goat cheese and candied pecans. Their house dressing, which was a vinaigrette, tasted bitter. We ordered five different appetizers. No super compliments on the any of them. I didn't try them all. I did try the crab cakes, they seemed to be missing crab. I paid the bill. When the server asked me, how was everything? I replied "not very good". She didn't care to ask what the issue was.

I could definitely see my friends and I popping in before a movie or shopping for some small bites and cocktails. The hostesses escorted us to a lovely private room where we selected our seats. The food battle was 4 courses, so 8 dishes going head-to-head for about 38 ppl. I know the kitchen staff and chefs were bussing their butts to get these beautiful plates out, introduce their dishes while serving the main dining room during restaurant week!!! Everything was delicious, thanks to chef Kevin (Stonecrest) and Jeremy (Kingsley). I believe it came down to a tie with chef Jeremy taking home the win by most overall points. But the real winners were myself and my fellow diners as we had to request to go boxes by the 3rd round as the portions were not only delicious but generous. Everything from the tuna (that sauce should be bottled and sold) to the sweet potato gnocchi w/ fennel sausage (holiday on a plate), it was all delicious. ESPECIALLY dessert! That upside down pineapple polenta cake with mango sorbet should be tried by everyone!

Before I get into the food coma portion of this review, I want to set the tone…read more I'm a big believer in giving restaurants real, honest feedback. Not Yelp-warrior nonsense. Actual constructive feedback. This industry is brutal. No one opens a restaurant hoping to disappoint people. I also live by the phrase "don't knock it until you've tried it." If a first visit doesn't hit my expectations, I'll give a place one more shot before forming a solid opinion. That feels fair to me. Some may disagree. To each their own. This is where Napa comes in. I admin a very large, very active, highly curated Charlotte Facebook group called Charlotte Foodies. Napa kept popping up in posts with glowing praise. A couple of friends and I were indecisive on where to eat one night and made a last-minute call to check it out. Our first visit, if I'm being honest, was a letdown. The dishes were beautifully plated and the service was wonderful, but the flavors felt dull. Safe. Muted. We left disappointed. I considered writing about it but stopped myself. One visit isn't a verdict. We didn't reach out to management because we hoped it was just an off night and planned to give them another shot. Then the universe did its thing. I connected with someone closer to Napa's management team. After hearing about my experience, they asked for honest feedback. I gave it. No sugarcoating. Just constructive criticism. To their credit, management was receptive and invited me back to try their newly launched menu to show that what I experienced was not their standard. I'm really glad I went back. Because Napa at Stonecrest absolutely redeemed themselves. The restaurant itself is beautiful. Warm woods, deep green banquettes, soft lighting, and oversized fabric pendant lights that somehow make everyone look better than when they walked in. Cozy without being cramped and energetic without being loud. You sit down and instantly feel relaxed. This time around, we told our server to let the GM drive and bring out what best showcases Napa right now. Risky move. Correct move. We started with the bacon flatbread. Soft but sturdy crust that holds up to the toppings, a respectable amount of mozzarella, big bacon lardons that actually taste like bacon, pearl onions that stay sweet and restrained, and the perfect amount of hot honey for heat and balance. Nothing overpowered anything else. The ahi tuna tartare was one of the better versions I've had in Charlotte. Huge portion for the value with clean, precise knife work. The avocado purée with citrus vinaigrette complemented the chilled tuna without overpowering it. The house-fried wonton chips were light and not greasy. We ran out of chips and I shamelessly spooned the remaining tuna straight into my mouth. The herb whipped goat cheese nailed it. We've tried a lot of whipped cheese dips around town and many miss the mark. This one was creamy, thick, and balanced, not soupy or overworked. The herbs, hot honey, and spiced almonds all played nicely together, and the crispy crostini were the perfect vehicle. Easily shareable for a table of three and would make a great weekday lunch paired with the tuna tartare. For entrées, the crusted halibut was perfectly seasoned with a beautiful crust. It almost ate like a pan-seared chicken breast until it flaked and reminded you it was fish. Creamy risotto underneath gave sophisticated mac-and-cheese vibes, with blistered pearl onions, roasted carrots, and a drizzle of olive oil tying it all together. The mushroom sugo pappardelle, which is gluten-free and vegetarian, was the most talked-about dish of the night. Deep, layered flavor with incredible balance. The marsala sauce had real depth and a gentle peppery warmth. One of my dining partners normally avoids mushrooms and said he would absolutely order this again and recommend it. The Napa fried chicken delivered. Perfectly crispy but still light, juicy inside with just the right seasoning. Smooth garlic mashed potatoes underneath and a tasso gravy that was salty, savory, and slightly spicy. It gave elevated chicken cordon bleu vibes without the cheese. The charred broccolini was excellent on its own but even better dragged through the gravy. Dessert damage was done. All hits. No filler. The flourless three-layer chocolate mousse cake was my favorite. No question. Each layer brought a different deep chocolate texture, and the handmade whipped cream kept it from feeling heavy. Please give me another one to take home so I can maintain an emergency stash. The crème brûlée with candied pecans had a perfect crack on the sugar top, subtle sweetness underneath, silky custard, and that extra sweet crunch from the pecans. Classic and executed exactly how it should be. The apple caramel cheesecake is the cheesecake I dream about. New York-style. Ultra-creamy, no grit, no nonsense. The apple tasted like real fruit, the caramel didn't hijack the plate, and there was just enough crust to balance everything. If cheesecake is your thing, pa
