The food was good and tender. Nicely decorated space. Interesting platters but not enough variety. The puzzling piece to this restaurant is I’m not sure what the fun element was unless it is the presentation of the food. I would return for the lamb and steak. Tender and tasty.

I’ve been to a CD location in Tempe many times, but first time visiting this location in CLT. The service from Josh was wonderful and the food was just as good as my visits in Tempe. Parking validation is a nice plus for the area too.

Stir never disappoints. I typically go to the Raleigh location, which is awesome. The Charlotte one was just as great. Our server, G was amazing and very personable. She provided stellar service while also chatting and engaging with us the entire time. We had a wonderful time and will always keep Stir as a staple.
