1. Press Wine / Food
I love to people watch. Who doesn't?
Press offers great light snacky food, affordable wine and a nice, relaxed atmosphere. Hubs and I like to stroll over here, grab a seat outside and relax during happy hour. The view from Trade St. is always…More »
2. Dressler's

Category:
American (New)
Neighbourhood: Myers Park
Oh wow oh wow. I'm a big fan of Charlotte local eateries, but Dressler's takes the cake...the CHEESECAKE.
For days, I've been talking about Jon Dressler's mama's Peanut Butter Cheesecake. OMG it was one of the best desserts I've ever had. But I won't…More »
3. McNinch House Restaurant
Charlotte, NC 28202

Categories:

Neighbourhood: Fourth Ward
So...it's been at least two years since I've been to McNinch and I still remember the experience like it was yesterday. And I have to agree with Bill on this one, it's pretty amazing.
Hubs and I decided to try this illustrious resto for Valentine's…More »
4. The Capital Grille
Charlotte, NC 28202
(704) 348-1400
Category:
Steakhouses
Neighbourhood: Fourth Ward
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 »
5. Molly MacPherson's Scottish Pubs & Grill - CLOSED
Oh thank my hungry belly that something great finally took the place of this very large (and very empty space) in Uptown! Molly MacPherson's opened on July 1 in the old location of Daddy O's.
The space is a great Scottish bar and pub - it's nicely…More »

Seafood
Neighbourhood: Elizabeth
Meat and cheese and wine, oh my! Customshop is the place the hubs and I will visit for a hefty serving of all of the above. While we've had a full meal here, I think they shine with their appetizers and wine selections. Their meat and cheese boards…More »
7. Fran's Filling Station

Fran, your food is filling. So filling. And sooo delicious. Hubs and I dropped by for a casual dinner and pretty much ordered way too much. Big shocker, I know, but really we couldn't help ourselves. The menu was filled with comfort food goodness.

Categories:
Veterinarians,
Pet Boarding/Pet Sitting
Neighbourhood: South Park
When you have a wackjob of a dog, it's a bit challenging to select a vet. Dr. Hawkes is not only a skilled veterinarian, but she is also so wonderful with our wacky pooch. She makes us (and our dog) feel at ease every time we come in - whether it's…More »
9. Vivace
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.
Service…More »

Hands down in my top five for all restaurants in Charlotte. The food is super fresh, interesting and… Read more »
10. Toscana Italian Restaurant
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 »
11. 131 Main
This is one of our favorite casual restaurants in the Dilworth area. The food is fresh & delicious and the atmosphere is inviting & friendly. The pear mojito is incredible and they have a nice selection of moderately priced wines by the glass. The…More »

Neighbourhood: Elizabeth
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 »
13. Savor Cafe & Catering
Still drool worthy, always solid and super friendly service...this is Savor Cafe.
In my past review I discussed the deliciousness in the mile high peanut butter pie, farmer's sandwich, strawberry lemonade and mac 'n cheese. Rest assured, these menu…More »

14. Morton's The Steakhouse
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 »

Mattie's deserves another star...why?
Fantastic flapjacks, folks. Freakin' fantastic. I kid you not, I indulged in one of the best breakfasts I've had in quite some time.
I'm a total pain in the ass and ordered my flapjacks with more toppings than a…More »

Categories:
Greek,
Mediterranean
Neighbourhoods: South End, Dilworth
Confession - I have lived just a few blocks away from Greek Isles for the past 2.5 years and I *finally* had a meal here. Why did I wait so long? I have NO idea, because the food was delicious & the service was top notch.
Hubs & I rolled in here on a…More »

Tapas Bars
Neighbourhood: South Park
Third time's a charm for Good Food! Yes, we've tried to eat here twice before and both times the wait was astronomical (2 hours, 1 hr 45 min). So, that's the first tip for everyone - the folks at Good Food do not take reservations, um, ever, I think?…More »
18. Chipotle - South End
Charlotte, NC 28203
(704) 332-2311
Category:
Mexican
Neighbourhoods: South End, Dilworth
I kid you not, this Chipotle has some of the nicest staff around. So happy go lucky making burritos, taco salads and the like.
Every time I roll into this Chipotle I'm impressed with the super clean facilities, exceptionally nice folks behind and…More »
19. Coco Osteria
I appreciate fast, friendly, efficient service. Especially when I'm running behind on my way to a show at the Blumenthal. I understand that when hubs and I saw down for dinner at Coco Osteria at 6:30, aiming to eat, pay and get next door to the…More »
20. Beef & Bottle
I've waited more than 4 years to hit up Beef & Bottle...and I can't give a reason as to why it took me so long. While the exterior definitely looks a bit shady, the interior and overall experience is old school -supper club - Rat Pack - style fun.

A beautiful place, wonderful service and a great meal. That, my friends, is what e2 offers to the Queen City!
Some folks may be a bit concerned about yet another celebrity chef owned restaurant...and it's not without reason. I think many of us have…More »
