Best Contemporary American Restaurants in Matthews

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.

I always love the customshop! The team, especially Zoe and Kyle always make us feel welcome and make it enjoyable. The food is always outstanding and they have THE BEST espresso martini I’ve ever had!

Another wonderful meal for 4 of us! Love the bar area and restaurant too! We had drink in the bar before being seated and it was spot on with a lovely server. The meal was delicious and our server, Wesley was perfect! Great service that was very connected and personal! It was packed so the noise level was higher than the last time we were in, but it’s Christmas! We’ll be back!

I had lunch at Napa Providence with a friend, and it was such a nice vibe. We sat out on the heated patio—such a great idea, especially when it’s chilly out. It felt super cozy, and we didn’t want to leave. Our server, Nick, was awesome. He was really on top of things, super helpful, and didn’t make us feel rushed at all—even though we ended up hanging out for a couple of hours just chatting. The food? So good. We both had the Napa salad, which is always light and fresh, and I couldn’t skip the French onion soup. It’s seriously become one of my go-tos. Perfect little bite when you’re not starving but want something warm and comforting.

Everything was a 10 out of 10! We had nothing but positive things to say…great service, fabulous food and good value. We’ve decided to add this to our frequently visited restaurants
