Bask on Seaboard is a welcome addition to the Charlotte restaurant scene. When my husband first heard about it from the Music Factory developer, he asked what sort of food it was, expecting Basque cuisine. Instead Noah said "Gourmet". Thanks, that's…More »

Size/ambiance wise, this is my favorite restaurant in Charlotte. Weird huh? It just reminds me of my favorite casual neighborhood restaurants/pubs in London, Chicago and San Francisco.

The first time I went with a girlfriend it was a busy stormy…More »

Wow, Customshop had a busy week this week in reviews! The hubster took me here for my birthday, and we had a 5 star experience so I am sad to see Diana's bad experience. We didn't have a reservation so we snuck in early and were lucky enough to get a…More »

This is a cute little neighborhood spot in Wesley Heights (When on earth is Yelp going to figure out it's right next to downtown, not Steele Creek, 8  miles south?) that did so well with their lunch service that they expanded to dinner service…More »

Once upon a time I took golf lessons at Providence Country Club, which was really an expensive excuse to go to Ilios Noche each time for lunch afterwards.  Every time I'd have the salmon sandwich, perfectly grilled medium rare and juicy and perfectly…More »

I have been here once for lunch, and once for dinner.  I highly recommend Vivace for lunch. Our group really loved the salmon lunch, and their little pizzas. The bread was enjoyable and the prices were very reasonable. 5/5

The restaurant is bright,…More »

Pisces is one of the newer sushi additions to the saturated sushi market. Since there are so many suzuki restaurants ithin 2 miles, it really needed to add something different and special. I would give Pisces 3.5 stars.

Pisces was the last restaurant…More »

Recently updated lists from Jules S.

Very Veggitastic (12)

Top picks when I'm seeking no animal products. Some standouts and standbys: black bean burger at Burger Co, Miser Wat from Meskerem, hummus and baba ghanoush from Kabob Grill and veggie options from Roots Farm Food truck.
If on the road, love Neo Burrito in Asheville and Melanie's in Boone.

Rollin Rollin Rollin (4)

Food trucks in the QC

Queen City dines Around the World (10)

Some of my favorite (4 stars+) international restaurants in CLT! All we need now is some Daft Punk bumping Around the World!

Queen City Cupcakes (8)

My list of various places to get cupcakes.  I can't say that one place is necessarily the go-to place to get a little morsel of glycemic bliss, but it depends on the flavor.  My top 4:
Devil's Food Chocolate (or any chocolate one) from Sunflour, 'Smores from EK Cakes, Lemon Raspberry from Tizzerts and Apple Cinnamon from Polka Dot.   Cupcrazed review coming soon.

Where to Lay Your Head (5)

Here are a few places I like to hide out from the Po Pos when I'm laying low.

Who called me HM? (7)

My list of places to get pampered, polished, plucked, painted and petted. That sounds dirty. But it's not. Why a painter? Because I'm too HM to do it myself.

Appalachian Adds (5)

My faves in Asheville and around the Appalachian mtns!

Beady Little Jewelry (4)

List of some bead shops across NC

Where's the Beef? (10)

Not here! This is a list for great spots for vegetarians.

Here are some of my recommended lunch spots based on value and speed!
