Service was Excellent .Food is amazing .5/14/2013 12:00:00 AMGreat SpotFrom the food to the service to the atmosphere, 131 Main is a great spot for dining.5/12/2013 12:00:00 AMDelicious meal, excellent serviceA definite addition to my special occasion restaurants! I highly recommend the chips and queso appetizer - it's not what you think! Our table raved about the ribs, the corvina, and a wonderful pasta dish. The key lime pie was amazing as well. Tonight's service was impeccable as well! Our first time at this location, but we've always enjoyed the Blakeney location!5/11/2013 12:00:00 AMSO HAPPY IT REOPENED!!I had only been to 131 Main one other time several years ago when I did not live in Charlotte. I took my girls there on Saturday night, sat at a tall bistro table in the front by the windows, which we enjoyed. We could watch the outside traffic as well as get an overall view of the restaurant and the lively vibe there. We started with the grilled artichokes, which were perfectly cooked. Two of us had the simply grilled sea bass served with an excellent lime cilantro rice, which was the special fish of the night and the kale salad as a side, which was finely chopped and served with a citrus dressing and lightly tossed with parmesan cheese. The petit filet,which my other daughter ordered, was cooked to perfection! We will be back!5/11/2013 12:00:00 AMAwesome!Absolutely love 131! I have yet to have a bad experience at any of the locations and we go there quite often!5/10/2013 12:00:00 AMGreat overallFood was very good and so was the service. It was a little noisy but that was okay. Everyone liked what they got. The cornbread appetizer was awesome!5/8/2013 12:00:00 AMThe Crab-cakes were excellentThe Crab-cakes were excellent and I recommend the Cornbread as well.5/4/2013 12:00:00 AMOutstanding ServiceThe service at 131 Main was outstanding. They use a server team approach which means you are never waiting on someone to take your order, bring your food/drink or process your checks. The manager also stopped by to make sure everything was OK. Everyone at our table had the prime rib special which was really excellent and prepared perfectly (2 mediums and 2 medium rares). It was served with outstanding red mashed potatoes. My only complaint would be there was no vegetable served with the meal. We could have ordered a la carte, but that wasn't clear to us when we ordered the special. The ambiance is also very nice and the restaurant is not too noisy like many are these days. All in all, an excellent dining experience!5/4/2013 12:00:00 AMAnother perfect DinnerAs always the food was perfect.... We have dined here many times and I must say we are never Disappointed

The cornbreadLoved the service. The cornbread is always our favorite.4/26/2013 12:00:00 AMThe service was excellent.The service was excellent. While there was a wide variety of meal choices, the food and the amount of food was just not what I expected for the price. I had heard good things about 131 and was excited to try it out. The ambiance/atmosphere was very comfortable and welcoming.4/26/2013 12:00:00 AMMuch better than standard AmericanIn appearance--both the decor and the menu--this looks like a standard American restaurant: steak, fish, chicken, burgers, etc. However, the execution of these dishes puts 131 Main a cut above most restaurants, Each item we tried was excellent, and there were enough unique touches to elevate the menu. There's a good variety of appetizers, quite a few interesting salads, and a mix of entrees to please any palate. The smell from the grill makes it tempting to only order grilled items--and you won't go wrong--but other items have the same attention to detail and wonderful taste. Great side items: wonderful kale salad, quinoa salad, cole slaw, etc. Our server often went missing, but a team service approach worked well. Will definitely return.4/26/2013 12:00:00 AM131 Main is a great choice.We enjoyed our meal...the wine recommendation was excellent and the service was top flight.4/25/2013 12:00:00 AMConsistently Raising the Bar131 Main never disappoints! Admin Professionals Day Lunch, quick meeting, romantic evening...doesn't matter. The food, while a bit understated on the menu, will put this thought in you, "this is the way this is supposed to taste!" And that has applied to every meal I've had there. It was especially true of the special corned beef sandwich I had a bite of and the crabcake I ordered. If you don't order the iron skillet cornbread, you should have your license revoked and criminal charges considered against you!4/24/2013 12:00:00 AMfood was great, a little overfood was great, a little over priced for lunch. service was excellent.4/23/2013 12:00:00 AMOnce a month lunch group.Once a month lunch group. We have been here 2 times because food is good4/20/2013 12:00:00 AMI took my wife there for ourI took my wife there for our anniversary. I must say I was impressed I brought flowers earlier and they had on the table with the card when we arrived. My wife and I were very pleased with the experience.4/15/2013 12:00:00 AMBrunchHad brunch with a group of friends. The wedge salad is the best salad I town!4/14/2013 12:00:00 AMWe always have a great timeWe always have a great time at 131 Main. The bar area is very large and the décor is inviting. They have a Main Event where a couple can purchase a bottle of wine, an appetizer, soup or salad, a main course, and a shared dessert for $69 (from a limited menu). We took advantage of this and ordered the cedar plank salmon and shrimp and grits. Both meals were excellent, and we were so stuffed that we ordered the banana pie dessert to go.4/13/2013 12:00:00 AMSo Glad You are Back!This was my first time back since 131 Main on East Blvd. reopened. I've always had a great experience at 131 Main and this was no exception! The wait staff and management are very attentive and the food was excellent. We enjoyed the "Main Event" which we felt was an excellent deal for the money! I am so glad that this location is open again so we can frequent it.4/13/2013 12:00:00 AMSure bet!My husband and I and my friends have had dinner at this location and the other one in Huntersville several times and we love it every time. No matter the place the service is pleasant,easy and efficient and the food is delicious. And you can share food! We usually share the corn bread, which is divine, the trout (best in Charlotte, probably NC) with the skinny crunchy fries, that with a salad and dessert, the awesome brownie or the delicious peanut butter pie (tastes like peanut butter cheesecake). We have also had their steak, very tasty and perfectly done, their quinoa salad is also very good although cold, their artichokes really tasty. Even their coffee is good.4/13/2013 12:00:00 AMI have been two the DilworthI have been two the Dilworth location about three times, and once to the Cornelius location. I usually order the pork chops paired with the mashed potatoes. When I was at the location this past time, they chef did not cut the pork chop so it came out as a huge piece of meat. I was very surprised because that is not how usually it is served. The waitress was very kind to have them cut it into two pieces which made it definitely more desirable to eat. Enjoy my visit otherwise.
Jahuie4/8/2013 12:00:00 AMI liked the feel of the place.I liked the feel of the place. The reason I gave it only 3 stars on the food was because my grits, from the shrimp and grits I ordered, were undercooked. But the expereince was great. The wait staff was very lively, helpful, and nice to talk to.4/3/2013 12:00:00 AMGreat food, exceptional serviceWe had another great meal at 131 Main on Easter Sunday. The food was excellent and the service was flawless, as usual. In addition to the commentary about the general experience, which is consistently excellent, we require a special accomodation that 131 Main handles as a matter of course. Our daughter has very severe allergies to dairy, egg, and peanuts. The team at 131 Main has consistently implemented the right kitchen protocols to make sure her food is safe and she has a great experience as well. The manager and the chef are always available to assure us they can handle the requirements, and they have always done so.3/31/2013 12:00:00 AMThe Kale and Wild rice areThe Kale and Wild rice are a must to add to any dish!3/23/2013 12:00:00 AMDelicious DinnerMy girlfriend and I had a wonderful meal. We ate scallops as an appetizer, it is not on the menu as an appetizer, and they were wonderful. For the main course, she had the filet mignon which was perfectly cooked. I had a marinated ribeye with a crab cake on the side which my girlfriend had to try. Rob was our waiter/bartender and his service level was exceptional.1/1/0001 4:00:00 PM
