- AAmyVIPPhiladelphia County •5 reviews5.0Dined todayWe stopped in Charlotte last night as a pitstop during holiday travel and stumbled upon this true gem. What a delightful and delicious experience! The Jardin salad (with seasonal vegetables and fresh herbs) and the Sole Meunière was on par with anything you’ll find at the top chefs in NY or Philly. Fabulous wine list - and Luke was fantastic.More infoCoquette - Uptown CharlottePrice: Expensive• French• Uptown•4.7
- AAndyAsheville / Western North Carolina •1 review5.0Dined 2 days agoAngelines was a great Christmas dinner for my family of four. The entire staff from the valet to the server made us all feel welcome. We started with whipped ricotta. It was delicious! Don’t sleep on the chopped salad, very tasty. It was hard to choose an entrée because each one looked amazing.More infoAngeline'sPrice: Expensive• Italian• Uptown•4.5
- SStephenVIPCharlotte •50 reviews5.0Dined 2 days agoTo be honest we had a great time. But. Was saved by the manager. We booked weeks ago with a credit guarantee. The girl at the front was so rude. So much we about walked out. She could not find our reservation which we found eventually which had been cancelled somehow by the restaurant. Can’t explain. But. The manager sorted. She did everything she could to prevent us having a table. Now we have notification that reservation is complete ?? Anyhow. Food and service after her was tremendous as always. Really enjoyed it. Our waiter was awesome. So this is our normal Xmas day event. Hopefully again next year and in-between.More infoChima Steakhouse - CharlottePrice: Very Expensive• Steakhouse• Uptown•4.7
- RRachelCharlotte •22 reviews4.0Dined 2 days agoWe had not been to Aria in several years and the menu has changed some but both of us enjoyed what we got very much. I had the sea scallops on a butternut squash puree and they were delicate and flavorful. Husband had the pork tenderloin with a risotto that he said was fantastic. Would definitely recommend and we will be back again!More infoAria Tuscan GrillPrice: Moderate• Italian• Uptown•4.7
