Best Restaurants with a Tasting Menu in Uptown

We decided to do Valentines a day later since we had to work on actual Valentine’s Day. We booked for a 4:30 reservation (the latest they had until 8pm. Which was totally fine. We arrived at 4:20 and had our car valeted since there isn’t street parking. Walked in, were greeted right away- seated and within two minutes our server greeted us with water. He took our cocktail order then told us about their Rendezvous for Two deal, which included an appetizer, two entrees, and a dessert for $55. Our drinks arrived quickly and the app followed within a couple of minutes. We did the Pimento Cheese Dip which was great. Then I had the Shrimp and Grits and my wife did the Salmon with Creamy Quinoa. Both portions were great (so much so that I couldn’t finish all mine). We got our dessert to go since we were both stuffed from the large portions. We got the Pecan Pie and oh my goodness it was delicious. Our server was great and super helpful. Couldn’t have asked for a better experience!

I went for Valentine's Day prix fix dinner with my hubs. The dining room is just off the lobby of the lovely hotel and has a nice setting with artwork with scenes of NC . It's a small dining room, holding probably a total of 50 guests or less. The servers were competent and professional. The cocktail menu was pleasant, but thedrinks took longer than should have to arrive. Our Caesar Salads were fresh with a yummy dressing. We both had the Ribeye steak with asparagus and loaded mashed potatoes. The sides were delicious; the steak had a nice flavor and cooked to our liking, but quality of the steak was low with much grizzle and fat. The highlight of the meal was dessert, recommended by our waiter. A cherry and biscuit shortcake with a chocolate drizzle. It was like the most delicious cherry pie but layered with the most delicious biscuits. I would go back just for this. Overall, a good evening.

I remember being in Las Vegas, eating at the Cake Boss restaurant, thinking this is the best pasta dish (Carbonara) ever. STK Lobster Linguine is by far the most elegant, flavorful pasta dish I ever had. Fantastic. My fiancee had the beef rib, and her comment was she didn't remember chewing as every bite just melted in her mouth. The atmosphere was perfect, the music was hip and relevant. Great spot for pictures. Truly worth every penny. All the ballers, this is your spot!!!

Friday late lunch is a favorite way to start the weekend and it did not disappoint for Valentines Day. Capital cosmos and local beer to start our dining followed by onion soup and steaks - perfection. Dessert was yummy coconut pie to share. Mario our server was attentive and on point. Parking behind Dunhill garage makes this a super easy trip to Uptown.

This was me and my wife’s first time here and you know the old saying first impressions are everything. From the moment we walked in we were greeted right away. We were celebrating our 7yr Anniversary here. From the front desk to our waiter Joe everything was excellent, the manager was awesome as well and made sure we had a memorable experience. Overall we would definitely eat here again. Thanks again for a phenomenal experience.
