Best Fine Dining Restaurants in South Charlotte

I’ve lost count of the number of times I have had the opportunity to dine at Roosters (and looking forward to dining at the next location in Ballantyne). The food is always outstanding and a step above what most good restaurants in Charlotte have to offer. Staff members always have the best attitude and advice and make it a real pleasure to dine. My wife and I (and family) have any special meals at Roosters. Love it!!

This was our first visit to Peppervine, and we will certainly be returning. The ambiance is lovely and classy. We were seated in a cozy corner half-booth, and the noise level was perfect for having a conversation. Hope, our server, was attentive and helpful throughout the meal. Cocktails: The Misty Eyed Margarita and the Wild Maple Old-Fashioned were both flavorful and well-crafted. Appetizers: The yeast rolls were warm and delicious. The burrata was also tasty, but at $28 for a small portion, it felt overpriced, especially since it wasn’t served with bread until I requested it. Entrées: While the pasta portions were on the smaller side, everything was expertly prepared and full of flavor. We tried the Bison Bolognese, Mushroom Agnolotti, and Szechuan Beef Bowl - all with thoughtful and deep flavor profiles. Dessert: We ended with the Cranberry Orange Zeppole Donuts, which were very good and a delightful way to finish the meal. Overall, it was a great experience, and we look forward to returning.

Must make reservations of which we did or you will have a hard time getting in. We were asked if we were celebrating anything when we arrived and mentioned it was a birthday, but it wasn’t acknowledged in any way during our visit. That felt a bit strange, especially since they specifically asked. The overall experience was still enjoyable, though. The ambience was definitely the highlight — the intricate design, beautiful chandeliers, and mirrors created a stunning atmosphere that made the visit memorable. As for the food, the menu is somewhat limited, but the dishes were decent and satisfying. The service, however, was a bit slow both in terms of food delivery and waiting on us, which was a little frustrating. While the food wasn’t the standout feature, the restaurant’s atmosphere made up for it. All in all, a lovely place to visit for the ambience, but the service could use some improvement.

Absolutely the best restaurant in Charlotte!! Amazing service and atmosphere! Started with tasty cocktails at the bar. Our meals were just so fresh and delicious!! Flavors you can’t find in other restaurants!!! My favorite is the grilled Lup de Mar sea bass. We had lamb chops, lobster pasta , grilled octopus, grilled mushrooms, Limani chips, sashimi …. Loved it all!! The In house pastry chef made unbelievable deserts. Of course we tried 5 different deserts. Heaven!!! Our favorite restaurant!!!

Went on a two for $20 Tuesday but to our surprise, it ended this week. Not indicated on Instagram or any other social media about the change. Nonetheless we ordered some outstanding entrees and craft cocktails and this place did not disappoint. Love love love this place and we will be back
