You know, I've put off reviewing Georges for weeks - and until today I couldn't quite decide why. Well, here's why - I expected more. That's right, I expected more from Georges. And while my meal and experience wasn't a bad one, I was really hoping…More »

One of my favorite Italian restaurants in Charlotte. The service is impeccable and the waiters are knowledgable regarding the wine selections and specials. The white bean dip (served with fresh baked bread at the table) is incredible. I love their…More »

Definitely still a big fan of Vivace. It definitely is (still) one of the best looking restaurants in town with a sweet patio and *stunning* upstairs lounge area. If you're seeking a private party space you must check out that second floor.

Yes, Morty's is a chain. Yes, I still love it dearly. Yes, I wish it were less expensive. It also reminds me of my time in the Windy City...so I'm probably a bit biased.

They do, however, have a great bar menu with $5-$6 bar bites all day, every day…More »

Bummer, major bummer BLT, I has such high hopes for our Charlotte Restaurant Week rendezvous. But after a few hours here I think BLT should stand for a Boring and Lackluster Table of food.

It's not that any particular part of the meal was "bad", it…More »

Seize the day and get your hungry self over to Carpe Diem. While Carpe Diem is a little fancy pants to just roll into with jorts and a Dale Jr. tee, make the effort. It's a lovely restaurant- beautifully appointed and as Julia S points out - stellar…More »

Ok ok ok....yes, Capital Grille is 'spensive, and it's a upscale chain but my oh my do I love it. I love the atmosphere, I love the steak, I love the Stoli Doli martinis, I love the cheesecake with the torched topping...what can I say, I'm a sucker…More »
