Best Cozy Restaurants in University City

Food was great. Server made my group feel pushed out in the sense that we needed to vacate our table. One of our guests meals didn't come out until some of our group had already paid for their meals. Recommend improved training for servers responsible for tables consisting of more than 6 guests. Makes for a poor experience. Cost of food is expensive here. The service should match the level of cost that the patron is paying for the experience.

This was an excellent special event hosted by McNinch House with wine pairings from Laure Levesque of Queen of Wines in Durham. It was a fun social event along with great food, wine, and service. McNinch House is always Charlotte's premier restaurant and keeps getting better. We love coming here.

This restaurant continues to be one of my favorites in Charlotte even though there are so many locations throughout the city. But, it is always a great place to dine. The food is always delicious and the people who care about you are genuinely interested in your experience.

This restaurant is fabulous! Juan greeted us and was extremely helpful in our food selections. The food is like being in heaven- So fresh and delicious! The ambience is cozy and feels like a little piece of Italy 🇮🇹! The music also makes you feel like you’re in Italy! A wonderful experience and we would definitely return and highly recommend!

What a pleasant surprise! Stayed at Ivey's Hotel and had dinner before the show and breakfast on the way out the next day at Sophia's. The food was excellent along with the service. A delightful change from the cookie cutter hotels and restaurants. Will definitely be back next time I'm in Charlotte.
