    The kindest people we’ve ever met. Our server was Cameron C. and he deserves the hugest raise. The staff were constantly checking on us making sure we enjoyed our food and drinks, THE KEY LIME PIE MARTINI is an absolute treasure. We drove from Greensboro to come dine tonight, and it was worth it. I cannot wait to come back!

    Roosters is consistently great. The service is wonderful, the atmosphere is cozy, and the menu has something for everyone. With quality wine & unique cocktails, the bar area has a cool view of the kitchen & a laid back vibe. They offer outstanding sides; the potatoes au gratin are a must, but you should pick several options to share with the table! The salads are always fresh & dressed to perfection. I personally think they serve the best scallops in Charlotte, but you really can’t go wrong with anything on the menu.

    Food as always was excellent. The Halibut was cooked perfectly and my collard greens were very flavorful. The roasted Chicken entree and the Mac and Cheese were also very good. The service was excellent and very attentive. A really nice neighborhood restaurant.
