Best Fine Dining Restaurants in Charlotte

We decided on Flemings after receiving a multi spot gift card for Christmas. Menu had multiple items that we enjoy on a fancy dinner out. They offered a Valentine Menu, we did the normal menu instead. We stayed for 2.5hrs, and savored a slow paced meal. Started with Prosciutto Burrata and a bowl of French Onion Soup. Our entrees of the Main Filet and a Ribeye were cooked perfectly to a mid rare and mid well, we paired with truffle garlic mashed potatoes and brussels. The best part of the dinner however was our dessert- the Chocolate Lava Cake is made from scratch and takes 35mins to cook, this gave us plenty of time to digest and make room. We did order a bottle of wine as well as several cocktails. The Expresso Martini hit the spot and was tasty. Our Waitress Savanna was super nice, very friendly and accommodating. I would recommend this for anyone looking for a great place to have an intimate meal and experience.

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!

I had an incredible dining experience at Dean’s Steakhouse! From the moment I walked in, the atmosphere was warm and inviting, setting the stage for an unforgettable meal. The star of the evening, besides the perfectly cooked steak, was our server, Jertha. She was exceptional—attentive, friendly, and knowledgeable. She made excellent recommendations and ensured that every detail of our meal was perfect. Her hospitality truly elevated the experience, making us feel welcomed and well taken care of. As for the food, it was top-notch. The steak was cooked to perfection, juicy, and full of flavor. The sides were equally impressive, and the desserts were the perfect way to end an amazing meal. If you’re looking for an outstanding steakhouse with phenomenal service, Dean’s is the place to go. Ask for Jertha—she will make your experience even better! I’ll definitely be returning.

A truly great French restaurant, with excellent dishes and outstanding service. Dishes tried. Every one was outstanding: oysters, escargot, sea bass, duck confit, hanger steak, creme brûlée. Steak frites with hanger steak and Bearnaise sauce was cooked to perfection medium-rare. Duck confit with melted leeks and banyuls jus was terrific, and I make duck confit regularly. The restaurant has to be one of the most beautiful in the city with high-ceilings and decor that makes you feel you are in Paris. Service was as good as the food. The bartenders, server, and service/FOH manager went out of the way to accommodate a couple of requests.

Love it here! It was super cute and wonderful crafted cocktails
