Best Contemporary American Restaurants in Charlotte

The food was phenomenal from the burrata, cavatelli dish, and the FLAN…chef’s kiss!! Service was impeccable. It’s a quaint spot but bustling with livelihood. Highly recommend this place!

Amazing place to dine and friendly service, we really enjoyed and will return.

Excellent Valentines Day experience . The special menu had enough choices to have something for everyone, and the food was delicious and service was excellent. The prices were elevated for the Valentine’s Day , which I do understand. Gotta make that money . I get it. Some of the prices did seem excessive though. For example , one small crabcake (maybe 3 oz) was $19. The filet mignon offering looked like a pretty modest cut , maybe (5-6 oz precook). I guess I’m just saying for $100, per person , the food was very good , but I don’t know that I would say a great ‘value’. They definitely marked up for the holiday.

Bernardin’s is my favorite restaurant in Charlotte. We always start with Brussels sprouts and truffle fries for appetizers. My husband likes the sidecar, and I got the soixante-quince this time. All their drinks are good. I tend to get the lobster ravioli, but the tuna and salmon are also great for me. My husband gets a ribeye, add lobster tail, mashed potatoes and spinach. I added some of his spinach to my pasta and it’s always perfect!

First time attending and wasn't disappointed with the food and service. The valentine's day special was worth the money but it was a great experience with it. The service was top notch and very accommodating. My lady enjoyed as well as I for a special day of love ❤️
