Best Cocktail Bars in Ballantyne

We had an incredible dining experience at CW steakhouse. From the moment we walked in, the atmosphere was warm and inviting, setting the perfect tone for a great meal. The steaks were cooked to absolute perfection—tender, juicy, and packed with flavor. Every dish we ordered was expertly prepared, from the appetizers to the sides and desserts. What truly made our evening exceptional was our server, Michael. He was attentive, knowledgeable, and genuinely made us feel welcome. His recommendations were spot-on, and his friendly yet professional demeanor elevated our dining experience. He went above and beyond to ensure we had everything we needed, making the meal even more enjoyable. If you’re looking for a top-notch steakhouse with outstanding service, this is the place to go. Be sure to ask for Michael—he will make your experience unforgettable! We can’t wait to return.

The whole Vibe was good. The music, waitress, and management were amazing. Only issue was that we had to leave bc there is a 2hr sitting limit and we had just bought another round. The management was understanding and let us finish. Definitely recommend going!

As good as always only thing was our Truffle fries & Regular fries came out soggy but other than that it was very delicious especially the Tomahawk Steak it was cooked to perfection, Medium Rare.

Our second time dining at BAR ONE on Valentine’s Day. We enjoyed the Burrata and Cauliflower starters! We 💜 the cauliflower, so unique! We shared the lasagna, which we will definitely order again, as the leftovers were just as good! Cocktails and a bottle of wine to celebrate! We will be back soon with some friends to share one of our favorite spots in Charlotte!

The restaurant was very quiet for 6:30 but it was the day before Valentine’s Day. My husband has the “Brunch for Dinner” chicken and waffles. WOW! Perfectly cooked and breaded, lightly seasoned chicken tenders served on top of a fluffy waffle and served with hot syrup. I was envious. I enjoyed the French dip. Steak was perfectly medium rare and fries were crisp and lightly seasoned. My only complaint was the au jus was very salty. I paired it with their Pinot Noir which was really terrific. The server was attentive without being intrusive. Overall food was excellent! And the meal was truly enjoyed. Keep in mind, though, this is not a romantic dining venue, but an awesome place to take the family or casual friends. More diner-ish than romantic. Go for the chicken and waffles!
