    My friend and I stopped in for lunch and the first thing we noticed was how charming the space is--it looks like a cozy little house with décor that gives "classic hometown café" vibes. Our server (I believe his name was Nate--red hair, super friendly!) He was very attentive and welcoming. As for the food, it just didn't quite hit the mark for us. The dishes could've used a bit more seasoning and flavor. Because of that, I'm not sure if it would be a go-to spot for me personally--but I always say everyone has different taste, so you may have a totally different experience

    Just skip it. The food has no taste. The asparagus was blanched and no seasoning. The crab cake only tasted fried nothing else. The mashed potatoes were ok, cuz I added salt. The drinks weren't even good. First time and last time. [[HIGHLIGHT]]I wasn't even impressed with the ambience.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]This looking like your grandma house didn't save it.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]]

    Service is awesome but when they take my favorites off the menu. Well you get 3 stars. I miss the roasted potato pizza, cajon penne pasta, stuffed ck breast with goat chz and cranberry sauce, and now the apple chutney chicken sandwhich. At least they still have the matilda wong

    A special for the evening - curry!

    Started our vacation with a visit to 300 East, which we had seen featured in a past episode of Diners, Drive-ins, and Dives. It was a really nice meal and evening, and we look forward to returning again. What we loved: * [[HIGHLIGHT]]quaint location in a pretty neighborhood location.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] * easy free parking * [[HIGHLIGHT]]cool homey vibe in a converted house[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] * creative cocktails * exceptional hummus with pickled vegetables to start. * generous portions made with fresh ingredients * best in class French onion soup What didn't go as well * [[HIGHLIGHT]]we were seated at an out of the way table on the second floor. It was both a little loud from the way noise rose, and we felt a bit forgotten with service that was a bit slow at multiple points[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]]. All in all, it feels a bit like going to a great meal at the house of a friend who can really cook. Would probably make a regular place to eat if we lived closer, but probably not exceptional enough to plan to regularly return as a special destination.

    This is probably the place I eat the most in Charlotte. I love coming here with friends for lunch. The food is consistent, the customer service is always polite and the desserts are not only good but beautiful! [[HIGHLIGHT]]They also have indoor and outdoor seating , perfect for spring and summer[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]].

    Breakfast nachos were a brunch special. Yum!

    It's been years since I have been here even though it's wonderful. Came here for brunch with a friend. We had a reservation but arrived 20 minutes early. They still were able to seat us when we arrived and we enjoyed a space upstairs by the windows. Our server was very attentive. We enjoyed the seasonal sweet roll (dark chocolate and vanilla) and I enjoyed an apple cider mimosa along with my breakfast tacos. The tacos didn't skimp on the eggs or chorizo, which I appreciate. My friend enjoyed the French toast special.

    Great brunch experience today! We shared a cast iron sweet roll with mascarpone and blueberry glaze. Delicious. And my Grits Bowl did not disappoint. Cute and spacious front patio. And plenty of indoor seating in the cute old house.

    Wow, hardly never do I say 6 stars but our Sunday Brunch experience was exactly that. We both got the breakfast burger special. It came with grit fries. I substituted the sausage burger for a veggie burger and that was perfect. The server was realized and helpful. Service was fast which was great because we were hungry. We would definitely return. They have a variety of seating options and we even saw small dogs on the patio. This is a family-friend restaurant.

    My friend lives in the South End and recommended this spot for brunch. I ended up ordering the breakfast tacos with fruit on the side and a mimosa. When we arrived, there was a 30-minute wait for indoor seating since we didn't have a reservation, but we were able to get an outdoor table right away. The tacos were tasty, and the service was solid. Overall, it's a cute place to catch up over breakfast or brunch.

    Overall experience was a mixed bag this time. Cons: 1. Host was inattentive and had me seat myself. 2. Food was underwhelming. 3. Flies outside. Pros: 1. Waitress was great. 2. Outdoor seating was cute until the food arrived (see con #3). 3. Tasty brownie for my birthday!

    Our experience at 300 East was just okay. I was a little disappointed because I have heard such great things! I will say, the outdoor seating is very cute. We were in a great spot and it would've been perfect if it wasn't for the bugs. Our service was okay...we did end up having to grab ourselves silverware and salt/pepper but not a big deal. We all agreed all of our food was just okay. Nothing in particular stood out. The pasta special they had was definitely a least favorite.

    Grilled Heritage Pork Chop
    Ryan H.

    Must try: Pull-Apart Rolls and Lamb Chop! Why: The Pull-Apart Rolls were made with pumpkin, sea salt, and herb butter. I ate 4 out of the 6 rolls before and after my entree because they were so tasty, and my friend had the other 2 rolls. I also loved the Pork Chop cooked medium, which was juicy and tender with slivers of delicious fat. The large Pork Chop sat on top of a bed of pilaf and kale, which seemed to be well seasoned. I washed it all down with a Noda Brewery Pumpkin Ale. Notes: Super cute restaurant with plenty of indoor and outdoor seating. It was 6:30pm on a Monday with beautiful Fall weather so we sat outside to people watch while enjoying our meal. The workers were welcoming, friendly, and attentive. There were daily specials also that sounded amazing, next time though! There's a convenient parking lot in back of restaurant. Had a wonderful dining experience with a friend I've not seen in a while.

    Is 300 east fancy enough for a prom dinner or would you look out of place?

    It is a local restaurant with great ambiance with excellent food. As a neighborhood restaurant, the atmosphere is casual, especially on the patio, but I have seen several young people there in formal wear. I don't think you'd feel awkward or out of…

    This was 1st time here. I arrived about 20 minutes before closing. I ordered a GoodieBag (buying…read morefood and a discount so it will not go to waste). Upon arrival, they were cleaning up and the hot food section was already closed. I went to the register and told them my name. I was handed a bag and I was on my way. I did park right outside with my hazards on. If you are driving, a paid parking lot in on Church. Or you can take the light rail and get off on the Convention center stop and walk up to the restaurant. Everything was packaged well and very tasty. I will come again when I am in the area!

    This was easily the worst experience I've ever had at a restaurant from start to finish. I'm not…read moresaying they're racist, but I'm not saying they aren't. I'll let you be the judge of that. All I know is that none of the Caucasian people around me shared the same experience. Let me explain: We came for dinner before the Charlotte Orchestra show right across from the restaurant last Friday night. Let me start by saying that there were only 5-6 tables full at one time while we were there. I met my friend, who is also black, at 6:40; she had gotten there around 6:15 and placed her order. Not only had she not received her meal by the time I got there, 15 minutes later no one had come to our table to take my order until I flagged a waiter down and asked for our server. Meanwhile, every table that was sat around us was provided ice waters moments after arrival and their orders were taken promptly thereafter. When our waitress finally came to our table she either wasn't knowledgeable about the menu or didn't care enough to tell me what their current dip selection was, instead she said that she would check with the chef. I put in my order for the steakhouse burger that she recommended cooked medium and we waited a little over 15 minutes more before my friends burger came out and was taken to every table on the patio except ours before they took it back inside and then finally brought it back out to her. Needless to say the fries were cold at that point and the black bean burger was lukewarm. We were both starving so she reluctantly ate what she could before sitting it aside. I waited and waited for the waitress to come tell me what dips were in the trio appetizer before finally flagging her down as she passed our table without making eye contact for the 1She finally told me and disappeared again after I added the trio to my order. My burger finally comes out over 30 minutes after I ordered it and it's raw, like pink all the way around and oozing bloody juices raw. I turn to my fries for sustenance and they are just meh but at least they're hot. Gotta celebrate the small wins. I show my waitress the raw burger and tell her that I don't want anything else because we didn't have time to wait since we're now late to our show due to the lack of service. She disappears again for so long that I had to go inside and find a manager who stated that they were "short staffed but that is no excuse." I accept the lame half apology and go back to wait for our check that never came. We had to go back inside and ask for it. When we did the manager finally said that he would comp both of our meals. That was the highlight of the situation. Steer clear of this place. You've been warned.

    I stumbled upon this place last summer with a friend and we sat at the bar and just to head there…read morespicy cauliflower and the bartenders selection. Everything was fantastic. The last couple of times I've been was with my work group. We ordered several items for our table and then we also ordered entrées. Each time I visited this location everything is very nice and clean and the food as spicy as it is is very well seasoned and tasty. All of the sauces and curry creams were cooked to perfection hot in temperature not too hot to enjoy. Our servers were very kind and patient and courteous to us as we made our decisions. They also made perfect combination for our selections. And the best selections for drinks and desserts. Since then, I've even ordered on Uber eats and my food came just as perfect. This is a great go to place for good Indian food. If you're in the uptown area it's located below the Green parking lot, which is across from the Knight theater. It's just a good place even if you want a good drink at the bar. Enjoy!

Server just looked in my direction and kept moving - I definitely could have used a napkin or two. Portion sizes are good. Very nice ambiance- relaxing and inviting.
