    We had the BEST time at flour shop. The service was unparalleled. The server said they ran out of the two wines we suggested, and brought us a different one but kept the original price of the bottles we were looking at. So nice. And he was incredibly attentive. It was a fantastic meal out and highly recommend! We ordered a bunch of pasta dishes, the sea scallop risotto and lamb chop. All excellent.

    It was a delicious food experience. I had the Gorgonzola chicken and it was amazing and my friend got the crab and lobster ravioli which was a very close second to the chicken. It was a delicious food experience. In a very chic atmosphere !

    16 Prime is an upscale restaurant in Denver,NC. This is just what Denver needed. I appreciate good food, wonderful ambiance, and fabulous service. I had the flounder and it was flaky and flavorful. My husband enjoyed Sea Bass, as well as the Mediterranean octopus. We did order a side of crispy Brussels, but sadly had to return. They were hard (under cooked) in the middle and charred. Had a very bitter taste. This was removed from our bill without question. All in all was a lovely evening in a neighborhood restaurant. We will go back.

    We had a great time! My husband and I were going with our newborn and the restaurant was SO accommodating. They messaged me immediately about where we could put our newborn carrier. Then they called day of to make sure we were all set to bring our baby. When we got there, everyone was so nice and made sure that we were comfortable! The food was great. Overall good experience.

    First time dining and it's immediately one of my favorite places in Charlotte! Great ambiance and design, loved the menu theme and commitment to Mediterranean, all the food was delicious, especially the Whipped Ricotta, Roasted Mushrooms, and Halibut with Scallops (Market Fish), and the wine list was very well put together - after a cocktail we loved the Assyrtiko white wine from Santorini. Service absolutely top notch too, really guided us along the menu categories and made it a special meal, bravo!
