    Disappointing on a slow Thursday night. Broccolini was covered in squash and tasted like squash. Filet was rather dry and both the filet and the ribeye were overcooked (asked for rare and medium rare, came out medium rare and medium). Finally the old fashioned was overly sweet and made with ice chips instead of an ice block, quickly watering down the drink. Overall was a bit disappointed given the price point. We look forward to giving them another chance.

    Hello Trey, We appreciate your feedback and are sorry to hear that your experience at Dressler's didn't meet your expectations. We always strive to provide a great dining experience, and it seems we missed the mark with your filet and broccolini. We also regret the state of our old fashioned - your comments regarding the sweetness and ice chips have been noted. We hope you'll give us another chance to impress you with our quality food and service. Best regards, Dressler's Management Team

    We used to eat at Dressler's in Huntersville and loved it. However, we've now gone twice to the Charlotte location and have been disappointed both times by the entrees. We will not be going back to Dressler's.
    Dressler's Restaurant - Metropolitan (Midtown)Responded 5 days ago
    Hi Philip, Thank you for sharing your feedback. We’re truly sorry to hear that your recent experiences at our Charlotte location didn’t live up to the high standards you came to expect in Huntersville. Your loyalty means a lot to us, and we hate to hear that we’ve let you down. We’d greatly appreciate the opportunity to learn more about what went wrong and how we can make things right. If you’re open to it, please reach out directly to our management team—we’d love a chance to earn back your trust. Warm regards, The Dressler’s Team

    Started out with David as our server. My wife and I have been fortunate to be able to experience some fine dining over our lives and have had some exceptional service. David ranked in the top 5 (or better) for all time great service out of thousands of experiences. This kicked off the overall tone of the evening on a positive note. Every course of dinner was wonderful down to the cheesecake which was to die for. It’s been a while since we had been to Dresslers but it will not be long till we return again. I CAN NOT say enough positive about the service and how David made our dining experience wonderful. Thank you!!!

    Our food was delicious. We ordered several items and “split” them. Our server was amazing and made great recommendations. The service was so good I probably over tipped!

    I’ve been enjoying eating at Dressler’s for years and last night was no different. It was such a nice date night where we could actually hear each other. We started with the Thai Peanut Calamari as an appetizer and it was delicious! I had the 8oz filet and my date had the shrimp and grits; we shared the mac and cheese. For dessert, I took home Mom’s Carrot Cake. The service was excellent, as usual.
