Restaurants près de Hilton Garden Inn Charlotte/Ayrsley

We had an amazing time at El Puro. Authentic and delicious Cuban food. Comparable to Miami institutions. We can’t wait to go back for live music. Service was excellent and the owner, Ana, was super nice. Highly recommend.

Decided to try Tap & Vine - Quail Corners for a second time. The restaurant has a very convenient location with ample parking. When I arrived, the restaurant was nearly empty but got busier as the evening progressed. The two entres that we ordered were fantastic, as was our server. That said, I noticed that their wine storage area at the back of the restaurant was almost empty, and the wine racks behind the bar were also empty. I'm wondering if Tap & Vine - Quail Corners is on the verge of closing.

The food is good but certain dishes had huge portions (chicken parm) while others were small (lasagna). They are short wait staff which makes the service slow. We ended up having to call another manager/server twice. They also had a large, loud party in their private room but didn’t close the door making it unusually loud. I don’t plan to return (and the sister restaurant, Zinicola, is better).

My first time dining here, but it won’t be my last! The Lychee sangria was tasty, as was the guacamole with the fried pork belly, and the street corn. The service and food quality was very good.
