    My 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.

    We have previously dined at other Roosters locations in Charlotte, but this was our first time at this new Ballantyne location. The food was very good as we expected based on our visits to other Roosters locations. The atmosphere is nice - modern, open, clean. We were there for Valentine's Day lunch on a Friday - I'm glad we made reservations because almost every table was filled (it was more crowded than I was expecting for lunch time). That being said, there was enough space between tables that we did not feel crowded or cramped; there was some energetic noise but it wasn't too loud (we could easily hear each other talking at our table). The service was friendly and good, although it was slightly slower than expected which I can understand based on the large crowd of people who entered shortly after we arrived (the waitress was busy!). I would recommend it and will be back again in the future - I'm glad Roosters now has a Ballantyne location much closer to my home and that it's as good as I hoped it would be!
