Best Casual Restaurants in Ballantyne

Always a great experience. The best “comfort food” in Charlotte

It was our first time, but we enjoyed the Eggs Benedict a lot.

Our first visit to Napa Bistro and Wine Bar. The food was great - actually seemed to get better with each course. Started with Calamari which was very good but a little too breaded. The next course was French onion soup which was excellent and different with apples giving a slightly sweet taste. Shared pan roasted duck breast which was very good and sufficient amount to share. Disappointed they were out of flatbreads because we planned to have that. Ordered bread service which was the best thing to that point. Finished with caramel apple cheesecake which was excellent. The wine was very good but I thought it was half price wine night - maybe later. Our server was Wesley who made the night great. He was attentive and knowledgeable. He did an excellent job taking care of us.

Always a great experience with excellent food and drinks however it is too dark to read the menu without using your phone flashlight which we noticed others besides us were doing.

We visited on a Tuesday, Despite the moderately small number of patrons the service seemed a little slow. The wait staff was pleasant enough but not especially efficient. Making multiple trips to refill water or take one drink order at a time. We had to suggest we were ready to order. Drinks took a while to be delivered though I could see them sitting on the bar. Once we placed our food order it was prepared quickly and the taste was amazing. The Pecan glazed salmon with broccolini was some of the best.
