My wife and kids enjoyed this meal more than any other outing this year.More infoEstampa Gaucha - CharlottePrice: Expensive• Brazilian• Charlotte•4.4
- PPaulVIPCharlotte •5 reviews4.0Dined 3 days agoThis will be a mixed review. We arrived at the restaurant on the early side (6 PM) were seated and waited a full 10 minutes until our waitress (nice) made her 1st appearance. With so much time elapsing we went ahead and ordered dinner at the same time as ordering our cocktails. From the time we were seated to the time our food arrived was 55 minutes. To the good side the cocktails and food were excellent. I got the 36 hr. Ribs and the were fall off the bone with a jalapeño, molasses glaze that was delicious accompanied by good crisp fries. Though my wife just got an Asian Salad she thoroughly enjoyed it (she had hoped to get the prime rib sandwich but they searched for but couldn’t find horseradish- how do you not know if you carry horseradish or not?) Desserts were again outstanding. I got the Mud Pie which was everything a chocoholic could hope for while my wife’s Banana Bar was thoroughly enjoyed. So mixed review. Excellent food, not so excellent service (from a time standpoint).More infoCulinary Dropout - CharlottePrice: Moderate• American• Southend•4.5

Discover Charlotte
Also known as the Queen's City, Charlotte, North Carolina, invites you to dine royally anywhere in town with something delicious for every palate and budget. While Southern and all-American cuisine still reign supreme, you can also find fantastic international fare, too. In South Park, you'll love the well-aged wines, fine French fare or fresh seafood and sushi in cutting-edge settings. The bustling Uptown district can transport you from Tuscany to Japan with its restaurants. For less expensive eats, dig into some classic Carolina fare like barbecue, shrimp and grits or fried chicken, which can be found throughout the city. There's also a reemergence of traditional Appalachian fare, and Charlotte is an ideal place to find classics like cornbread and pinto beans or sweet potato casserole.
