Best Gluten Free Restaurants in NODA

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!

We had good time, the musician was very good too and nice interacting with the customer. Our waitress was amazing

Festive atmosphere, Valentine's Day, but not devoted solely to couples. A lot of us were dining preshow. I saw several families. Food was great. They brought us an "extra" plate of roasted brussel sprouts to try and they were awesome. Great wine selection with some reasonable options

We had a reservation for Valentines so it was a set menu, but we’re still happy with the available choices. It was our first visit here so we were expecting tiny portions, because it always seems like the more expensive the meal is, the less actual food you get. But that was not the case at all with this place. We walked out completely full and happy. Everything we got was tasty, and had zero complaints. The staff was very friendly and they even offer free parking for up to two hours at the attached parking garage, which is a huge plus. It was a little pricey at $70 a person for the fixed menu, but like I said it was more than enough food to fill us up. We will definitely be returning to try out their regular menu items soon!

Bernardin’s is my favorite restaurant in Charlotte. We always start with Brussels sprouts and truffle fries for appetizers. My husband likes the sidecar, and I got the soixante-quince this time. All their drinks are good. I tend to get the lobster ravioli, but the tuna and salmon are also great for me. My husband gets a ribeye, add lobster tail, mashed potatoes and spinach. I added some of his spinach to my pasta and it’s always perfect!
