    Alex is an amazing server. He really took care of us. He made aolid suggestions and was timely and professional. This is our third time here, and the food was exceptional as usual. The halibut is amazing. Cooked perfectly! The seafood soup was flavorful! And I cannot say enough about the lobster risotto with scallops!!! On New Years Eve, we had the sea bass experience, and it was an experience. We also had the seafood salad and ceviche. OMG!!! Everything was awesome! Sea Grill is the perfect date night spot. Top notch experience!

    Wow! This place exceeded our high expectations. The ambiance was low key and classy. Our waiter Andrew was superb drinks were great. We split lobster cakes I had the Elk chops and wife had the salmon and both were done to perfection. Topped it off with peanut butter dessert that I can’t even describe but will have again. Serious 5 Stars!

    Roosters is consistently great. The service is wonderful, the atmosphere is cozy, and the menu has something for everyone. With quality wine & unique cocktails, the bar area has a cool view of the kitchen & a laid back vibe. They offer outstanding sides; the potatoes au gratin are a must, but you should pick several options to share with the table! The salads are always fresh & dressed to perfection. I personally think they serve the best scallops in Charlotte, but you really can’t go wrong with anything on the menu.

    Festive atmosphere, Valentine's Day, but not devoted solely to couples. A lot of us were dining preshow. I saw several families. Food was great. They brought us an "extra" plate of roasted brussel sprouts to try and they were awesome. Great wine selection with some reasonable options

    First time here and it was a great experience. We came for lunch on Valentine’s Day and it wasn’t too busy. The food was delicious! I got the salmon and my date had the chicken skewers. Both were delicious! The atmosphere was nice with dim lighting so it provided a kind of romantic setting which is wonderful for a date. I highly recommend!
