Best Comfort Food Restaurants in Arboretum

Had a great experience at Napa Stonecrest. We have always enjoyed Napa on Providence and were excited when Napa Stonecrest opened. It has been opened about a month when we went in. We went for Brunch on a Saturday. They have really updated the restaurant from the old Mexican Restaurant chain that was there before. Now it has a real understated elegance. Very comfortable and not stuffy but yet refined. Our server was great. Very personable and attentive without being intrusive. The food was great. We had the bread service - which I would highly recommend. The Server even gave us a second order to take home. My wife had an espresso martini which she really liked and also had the Napa Benedict. She said it was very good. I had the Chicken and Waffles. While it wasn't the best I have ever had, it was very good. I didn't much care for the spicy syrup as I don't like too much spice. The server was able to bring me some regular syrup and that solved the problem. I would recommend just bringing some of both as a standard. The chicken was well cooked with a nice crunchy breading. The waffle had gruyere and chive mixed into the batter. It added a really nice and interesting flavor. I would say that I like my waffles a bit more on the fluffy side, but that might have been impacted by the gruyere. It still tasted very good, though. Really glad to have Napa closer to us and we will likely be there frequently.

Always a great experience. The best “comfort food” in Charlotte

We’re in town visiting my father for Christmas. This is where he wanted to go for dinner at my treat. I was a little skeptical going to a chain at a mall for good Italian! I was pleasantly surprised! Ambiance and noise level were good even though it was packed since it was the day after Christmas!! After a small glitch after we were first seated the service was great! The food was fantastic as well!! Very tasty and prepared perfectly!! Drinks were plentiful as well!! Price point was very reasonable as well! I’d recommend and would ho again!

Everyone in our group enjoyed their meal. Our server was attentive, friendly and helpful. Noise level increased as more patrons filled the dining room.

Always a great experience with excellent food and drinks however it is too dark to read the menu without using your phone flashlight which we noticed others besides us were doing.
