- MMichaelCharlotte •29 reviews5.0Dined 1 day agoMy wife and I had dinner at Red Rocks the night after Valentine's Day so it was still bustling. We had to wait about 20 minutes past our reservation time to be seated, but the kitchen staff more than made up for the slight delay with their incredible service. After we were seated, our server grabbed our drink order and then took our food order. Our salads were on our table within minutes of our order, and our mains came immediately after we finished our salads. It was very impressive considering how busy the restaurant was. The kitchen staff was crushing it! My wife had a surf and turf with a 4oz filet and coconut shrimp while I opted for a 7oz filet. Everything was cooked perfectly! My filet was one of the best I've had in Charlotte, and this isn't a high end steakhouse. We have lived in the area for a while and I always passed over Red Rocks for other places as the funky menu names made me think it was gimmicky. My bad! We will definitely be back soon! 10 out of 10!More infoRed Rocks Cafe - CharlottePrice: Moderate• American• SouthPark•4.8
- KKenyaCharlotte •1 review5.0Dined 2 days agoThe kindest people we’ve ever met. Our server was Cameron C. and he deserves the hugest raise. The staff were constantly checking on us making sure we enjoyed our food and drinks, THE KEY LIME PIE MARTINI is an absolute treasure. We drove from Greensboro to come dine tonight, and it was worth it. I cannot wait to come back!More infoThe Porter's HousePrice: Expensive• Steakhouse• Waverly•4.7
- NNikhilCharlotte •1 review5.0Dined 2 days agoMy gf and I got the valentine’s day experience, which was a three course, fixed price dinner option. We both got different things and shared, for a total of 6 dishes and 2 different wines. Literally everything was phenomenal, I’ve been to multiple high end restaurants in my life, including those with Michelin stars, and this was perhaps the best dinner I’ve ever had. Our server, wish I could remember his name, was super charismatic and funny but also incredibly attentive, a real professional. My only singular complaint was the noise level, but that’s mostly because we had an obnoxiously loud party next to us, it was tough to talk with them around but once they wrapped up and left, which was unfortunately at the dessert course, the atmosphere was perfect. Still, we both would rate this a 10/10 experience, I really wasn’t expecting it to be good, I went in with low expectations because most restaurants in Charlotte are middling, but this place is one of the very few worth revisiting.More infoNapa at StonecrestPrice: Moderate• Contemporary American• Ballantyne•4.4
- EEdCharlotte •14 reviews5.0Dined 3 days agoFood as always was excellent. The Halibut was cooked perfectly and my collard greens were very flavorful. The roasted Chicken entree and the Mac and Cheese were also very good. The service was excellent and very attentive. A really nice neighborhood restaurant.More infoNew South Kitchen & BarPrice: Moderate• Southern• Arboretum•4.9
