Restaurants near Village Oaks Shopping Center

We had a perfect Valentine's dinner. The prices were fair for a higher-end venue, but the food was outstanding. From the moment we walked in, the rustic, industrial vibe with dim lighting set the perfect mood. We kicked things off with handcrafted cocktails, followed by a lobster bisque appetizer, which immediately proved the restaurant's prices were justified by its flavors. The bisque was a burst of taste, with the lobster seasoned just right, and the soup had a delightful handheld companion. For the main course, I ordered the steak frites, cooked medium rare. It was my first time trying it this way, and it was perfectly pink, not at all bloody, with a beautifully browned exterior. It was well-seasoned, tender, and juicy, paired with crispy, house-made fries. My partner had the seabass, which was cooked perfectly, retaining its natural moisture and flavor, complemented by a sauce. For dessert, we indulged in a rich and light chocolate sponge cake topped with mousse and ice cream—it was indulgent yet easy to enjoy. We left the restaurant feeling satisfyingly full, and as a woman, I didn’t feel bloated, likely due to their commitment to cooking with 100% seed oil. This is one of the few restaurants in Charlotte I hope will stay around for future visits!

10/10. I love the Valentine’s Day theme they created. Great food and music selection. I’m sad I forgot to try the hookah, but highly recommend everybody to try this place out.

Great experience. Came on a Thursday night for live music. Arriving at 8pm is highly suggested. It gets busier and packed later. Food and service was 5/5. Nothing took too long to come. Good vibes. Crowd 35-45ish. Grown.

Tacos are great and flavorful, however, they are small and at $5 a pop they aren’t inexpensive. Chips and salsa are served and are also really good but the chips are excessively greasy. If you want more salsa it’s a $1 more which seems ridiculous. Guac was good but served in a paper boat which did not hold up well. It should be served in a bowl like the amazing elote. Also love the Jamaica agua Fresca.
