- LLisaVIPCharlotte •21 reviews5.0Dined 2 days agoWe love Dean’s. Tonight they were a little off w the temperature of the steak. The NY strips were spot on but the filet mignon that was ordered medium came out rare. We kept that one for the table, didn’t want to cause any problems, and ordered another one medium. After everyone else was finished with their meal, it came back, again, rare. Sent it back and it came back (same steak) rare. We gave up. Not sure what the issue was. Not sure we’ll be back.More infoDean's Italian SteakhousePrice: Expensive• Steakhouse• Uptown•4.6
- JJulienCharlotte •2 reviews5.0Dined 3 days agoEverything was superb, from the food to the service. Everyone was super knowledgeable about items and our server, David, provided outstanding service. We al ordered the “Treatment” and weren’t disappointed. David made sure to cater the tasting to our liking and everyone has a great time exploring the many taste options. We will definitely be back again!More infoFin & Fino - Uptown CharlottePrice: Expensive• Seafood• Uptown•4.8
- NNinaCharlotte •1 review5.0Dined 3 days agoI shared a meal with a few friends and we enjoyed everything that was placed before us. The drinks, appetizer and our entrees were splendid. To dine at a restaurant with no seasoning on the table is unheard of and none was required!!! Our food was seasoned to our liking. To the owner WELL DONE and a kiss and hats off to the chef and staff.More infoKitchen + Kocktails by Kevin Kelley - CharlottePrice: Expensive• Southern• Uptown•4.1

Discover Charlotte
North Carolina is a state divided when it comes to pork barbecue, but in Charlotte, the two sides of the great debate meet. In various barbecue joints around the city, you can find both the vinegar-based sauce that's popular in the eastern region of North Carolina as well as the more tomato-y option those in the western half of the state prefer. Fried chicken with crispy golden skin and plenty of plump meat is another Charlotte favorite. Coleslaw, rolls and a cold glass of tea (the sweeter, the better) often round out this traditional Southern dish. In contrast to the down-home fare that dominates much of the city's food scene, there are several Vietnamese restaurants around town that serve pho, yellow pancakes and other traditional offerings.
