    The food and drinks were perfection! We had the salmon, fried rice, edamame, broccolini, and chocolate melt away dessert, a spiced pear martini, and whisky cocktail. Did I mention it was all perfection? I would fly back to Charlotte just to eat at Hestia. The staff were knowledgeable and present. Finally, the rooftop view at sunset is priceless.

    We drove from out of town and had a great date night dinner before a concert. Our server was very professional and experienced. Good food options and tasted great! Portions size of the entrees were a little small but not a rip off. Reservations recommended. Hostess said it was 1.5 hour wait to be on wait list. Great dinner environment
