Chef Jonathan Moore has created Charlotte's most unique and memorable dining experience in Mariposa. Along with world traveler and owner Jill Marcus, Chef Moore has created a menu that sources dishes from across the globe.
In Marcus's own words, “Mariposa is personal to me. It is representative of my belief that no matter what challenges we face or transformations we go through, our shared food experiences will bring us closer. It helps us understand one another’s traditions and allows cultures around the world to tell their story." At Mariposa, we will bring many cultures together around the table and provide a global experience right here in Charlotte.”
Wine and cocktails have also been chosen to complete the theme, so Slovenian Cabernet Franc and Grecian Assyrtiko are a small part of the well curated 100+ bottle wine list that focuses on wines under $80. "Step out of your comfort zone and try something new" says Sommelier Brad Grubb. "You may just find a new favorite".

The wraps with kimchi and pork belly were outstanding. The paella had an amazing flavor but the amount of meat in it was disappointing. Ours had 1 tiny piece of sausage, 2 oysters, 2 small pieces of white fish and 4 shrimp. It was definitely not enough to share. Next time we will order more items or sides before our time 1.5 hr slot is up.

Was slightly disappointed with our visit. It’s never a good sign when a restaurant especially in the south does not have ice tea. The ambiance was nice overall couches a little always to eat from since so low and sag back. The food was decent smaller portions. Silverware wasn’t practical (skinny fork and knife) I probably wouldn’t return since there are so many other restaurants in the area. Service was friendly and did a good job.

Everything from the food to the service was wonderful. All the staff helped each other and were very attentive to our table. We ordered several small plates and they were all very delicious. I can not remember all the names of the plates but salmon rilletes, olive and focaccia, corn fritters, hearth vegetables, mushrooms on focaccia and chicken skewers. All so good! The cocktails were all phenomenal, that we had. (Aix en Provence, regatta colada, gin and tonic and a dirty martini) I went for a girls night but will go back for a date night!!
