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!!

We had an incredible experience at the Oak Steakhouse. The accommodations made for our delayed arrival and to sit at our favorite table were all met. Everyone was extremely attentive and friendly. We were treated like regulars. The food was delicious. The drinks were well made and all of our requests were met. The restaurant is beautiful and welcoming but elegant. Our server was Aaron and did a great job making sure we had everything we needed. Our experience was perfection. Any room for improvement could only be made on the dessert me in options. But the food, service, ambiance was all incredible.
