    Food, service, & ambiance were FANTASTIC!!!! Drinks were ON POINT - get the Bohemian, refreshing! Flounder was out of this world, and so was the whipped feta! Easily one of the top ten spots in Uptown Charlotte for dinner.

    Quite a chic restaurant! Energetic vibes too. Our server William was cool. Food was delicious! Started off with the Lamb Kefta, Wood-Grilled Chicken Liver Toast, Kibbeh Nayeh and Rock Crab--all good as shareables. For entrees, would recommend the Hanger Steak Frites, Rock Crab Mafaldine and Cordero Asado (Lamb Rack). For sides, the Carrots and Samneh Fried Potato were unique and tasty. We were celebrating a birthday and got the Raspberry Cardamom Sorbetto!

    Ugh! I so wanted to love this place. We were so disappointed. The good stuff: it's an attractive, nicely appointed restaurant with great service and good drinks. The carrots with hot honey and nepitella accompaniment as well as the smashed potatoes were great. However, the main dishes were underwhelming. The rock crab mafaldine that most of us ordered had little to no flavor. No amount of S+P and red pepper flake that we added helped. You MUST salt your pasta water when cooking it. Hard to add enough afterward. Cooking 101. A few aromatics in the dish likely would've helped also I think. The sauce was thin and runny. Didn't coat the pasta. The amount of crab was paltry. Hard pass. The manager was kind enough to ask if we wanted to exchange our dishes. I opted for the labneh-marinated chicken thigh. Better choice but wouldn't order it again. My friend's lamb chops were far overcooked. They looked well done instead of medium rare. They did offer to cook another batch but still missed the mark. Maybe it was an off night. Maybe we ordered the wrong things. But consistency matters. Maybe we'll try again.

    Still dreaming about the rock crab malfadine pasta & the pistachio gelato here ! They both deserve a round of applause ! I wish I could remember our servers name because she was such a delight and full of smiles the entire we were here . The marble walls in the lounge area here is immaculate , everything about Albertines inside is worth stopping in for a bite, views & catch a quick vibe . Definetly add this restaurant to your next must try spots !

    My girlfriend and I had a great experience at Albertine. From beginning to end, everything felt very luxurious. Everyone from the hostesses to our waiter, to the people who delivered our food, took special care to ensure we had everything we needed and knew exactly what we were receiving. We ordered the Venetian Asparagus, Oysters, one of their pasta dishes, followed by their cheesecake. The dishes seem to range from Italian to coastal to middle eastern-and at one point I even heard Portuguese music in the bathroom. All in all, it's clear they take their inspiration from multiple places, which I liked. Almost forgot to mention that the bathrooms are so nice! There were mints and emergency feminine products available to grab if needed. The only things that were so-so for me were: that the dishes we ordered seemed to be a bit under seasoned and the cheesecake was not fully set. Also, our server never told us his name. Luckily, there were plenty of other people that checked on us through out the experience so we were never lacking anything. Still, it would've been nice to know the name of the person taking the lead on our experience. However, with the service overall and ambience (I loved all the candles!) being as fantastic as it was, I still had a great experience and would recommend it for anyone looking for 5 star service in the heart of Charlotte.

    Amazing food, amazing service and amazing ambiance. The staff there was incredible and extremely attentive to our group which I thought was amazing. We went there for dinner with a group of friends and they gave her a special menu because of dietary restrictions she had. I will absolutely recommend this place!

    Upscale Mediterranean in uptown Charlotte brings a very classy feel to this area. We were late making reservations so we're only able to get lobby seating. I would recommend inside the restaurant seating as the lobby for the most part is near the door unless your round the corner from the bar. I actually liked the one table where we were seated which was tucked in a corner away from the door. Big, airy, cool feel to the place. Excellent service from start til we left. Mason the manager and Tammy were very approachable and friendly, As was our server. The bar is not your typical bar, not by look anyway but they do serve great drinks! I loved the unique cocktails on the menu and we loved all the ones we ordered. I chose idle hands which was a mezcal based drink, perfect balance of all the flavors and served in a cool glass! My family had the mezcal Negroni and Hoskins a gin based drink. All were spirit forward and right on. the money. The menu has mezze, small plates, larger plates, chilled seafood, apps and desserts. We ordered everything at one time and it all came out in order apps to mains. We tried the green schug which comes with their amazing pita like bread. Delicious dip which is spicy and tangy and amazing with the bread. Then we had the lamb kefta, now I'm not a lamb eater but if made like this I could be converted! Not gamey tasting at all. Coriander seeds for a crunch in top with an amazing sauce underneath this is a must eat dish here. Perfectly cooked. The tuna crudo was also perfect, fresh tuna and a nice crunch with the puffed grains and a delicious sauce. The labneh marinated chicken thigh was another winnner . Perfectly cooked where the skin literally fall off but not greasy tasting at all. I loved the cucumber salad accompaniment with it too. Delicious again !! Perfect all around on the food and drinks and service. They take pride in this place and it was a labor of love after their first restaurant in Davidson, Kindred. Amazing pre show experience for us !! Wish they opened later so we could have come back post show for drinks and dessert!

    Beautiful restaurant with a modern yet cozy and intimate feel. When making my reservation I appreciated the option to book a table in the lounge and/or dining room. The app even made sure my selection was what I wanted before committing (it's the little things for us software folks). Service is top notch. Our waiter was informed and made excellent recommendations. Our party of 5 opted for the Meze to start (our waiters recco) which allowed us to select 6 shareable tapas like plates. We enjoyed the whipped feta (and I'm not a feta fan), the black eyed pea humus, the tuna salad, okra, warm olives, dates, and warm bread. Everything was delicious and plenty for all. The cocktails were cute and yummy but can we take a moment and recognize the glassware. Heavy, detailed, short stemmed cocktail glasses that reminded me of the great Gatsby or a fancy NY bar on the upper east side. I ordered a lovely bourbon drink mixed with honey and lemon that taste liked a cold hot toddy, yum! The entrees were big portions of well cared for ingredients. Myself and one other in the group had the Wahoo, 2 others opted for the hanger steak and our 5th chose the rock crab pasta dish. Everything was delicious but I think the hanger steak won best at the table. The Wahoo was good however I could have used some acid and salt. Next time I'll definitely save room for dessert as they looked like art pieces as we walked by the semi-open kitchen. That cheesecake and I have a future date night. (Gorgeous bathrooms)

    The service was just about perfect. Thankfully the server guided me away from the entree that was not very good. (I got to taste the dish from another person at the table.) Overall, definitely an overpriced restaurant for the food quality. I did appreciate sitting in a separate section with a Birthday party group. This likely gave me a different experience from the others I observed.

    Mezze Platter
    Amanda ..

    Loved the ambiance/decor of Albertine - from the lounge area with the beautiful bar to the dining room, it all gave off a high end vibe. Waitress was very attentive and helpful in giving us a rundown of the menu and what to try. We tried a couple cocktails, the mezze platter, the chicken thigh, and carrots. It was all good but truthfully nothing blew us away. I would go back but not top of my list

    Looooooved Albertine. Came here with another foodie friend because we were due for a fancy dinner. This place does not disappoint!!! The menu is fancy and so is the ambience and decor. Even the fact that they are in uptown Charlotte is pretty swanky. You can tell they make sure their staff is knowledgeable to make strong recommendations to diners. Cannot recommend enough. Try the tuna crudo!!!

    Reviewers are on point, this is a wonderful restaurant, one of the very best dining experiences we've had in the Charlotte area. Great food, great service, beautiful decor. The meze platter was exceptional, truly a must order if you come with any size of a group. We shared six plates among three of us. Each alone was very good but the combination of flavors and textures among them made this a very enjoyable sharing experience. We each had our favorites, mine were the red schug (a somewhat spicy pepper dip, goes by many names across the Middle East, I remember it as mabooj). and the 'nduju (my wife says we've had this spreadable sausage before but I don't recall. So unusual and so tasty). The platter is served with man'oushe which is a traditional Yemeni flatbread. Some reviewers found this bread overly seasoned but our table was in agreement that it was delicious and worked very well with the meze. I ordered an Old Fashioned and asked if it could be made with a rye. Our server immediately came forward with a separate whiskey menu. Then the bartender came by and asked if I needed any suggestions. As I said earlier, great service. What a beautiful restaurant! Even the restrooms are posh. Seriously, give me a cushioned chair and I might be willing to become a tenant in that men's room. The Khafeh cheesecake is incredible! Negatives? For me, a couple nits. The dining area becomes darkly lit. Romantic, absolutely. But, oh my, these old eyes just couldn't read the menu. Table candles - no help. I turned my phone light on but that upset my table guests. So I thought, no problem, I already know from the online menu what to order. Except - the menu was recently changed (farewell, gamebird cappelletti). So, yeah, I was sight impaired for much of the meal. Also, as the evening progressed the noise level in the dining area grew to where the three of us had to raise our voices to be heard. This is one of my much too common restaurant nags. With so much attention being paid to fine dining aesthetics can't someone find a way to reduce the ambient volume in these rooms? Has anyone heard of acoustic tiling? At any rate, enough old person rants. This was still such a five-star experience. Dine here!

    This is their $98 bone in ribeye.

    I have to say - I don't write a ton of reviews on here. But I had a terrible meal here. The steak was so bad I could not eat it. Left majority of it. From Instagram to what I was serves basically sits on the far side on false advertising. It was so salty, covered in an under reduced reduction and the slimmest cut of ribeye ever. No sear and chewy like big league gum. Server was nice and available. No issue there. But food was horrific. Ambiance is nice. Well decorated venue. Hostess was amazing and very kind/helpful. But for close to $100 for a steak it should be excellent every time. This was unacceptable from a restaurant.

We were a walk in but were able to score a table outside which was perfect. The drinks are good and the staff members work as a team so there's not one primary waitress. I ordered a custom drink where I told the server what I liked and the bartender created something based on my likes. It was a "fruity" tequila based drink and I enjoyed it. We were given a bowl of complementary kettle corn to enjoy with our drinks. The music was a mix of r&b and hip hop and was loud enough to vibe but didn't overpower the conversations.

There's outdoor seating, and initially we wanted to sit outside but we didn't have reservations. Luckily, they seated us at a small corner section near the back of the bar. It's very cozy and intimate inside. Just my type of vibe. The service was top tier. They were unable to validate our parking because of some sort of discrepancy with the signage outside and lack of having the proper equipment for validation. To make up for it, they offered us complimentary champagne to start. We were not expecting that, and pleasantly surprised! Their menu has an eclectic selection of cocktails, both full and mini. We opted to order from the mini cocktail menu, and we each ordered two drinks. I had the Creepy cucumber cocktail and it was refreshingly sweet and probably my favorite drink of the night. I also ordered the Don't Shy Away which was a sour and spicy rum concoction with carrot in it. It was definitely spicy and had a puréed texture. I really enjoyed it. And, then don't get me started on the music!!! The dj was masterful. He played all the types of music I love and he mixed them in such a refreshing way. I ended up asking him for his contact information before leaving, and whether he does weddings because my fiancé and I are currently looking for a DJ. He was just that good. This would definitely be my spot if I lived here in Charlotte. It was the perfect way for us to end the night.

EDIT (5/27/28): When we entered and sat down, to the bartenders credit, he swiftly asked us what we wanted. As we were describing the general vibe of the drinks we wanted, the attitude of the bartender manifested as very condescending and lacking in general back-and-forth discourse. Despite the dismissive attitude, but after the drinks were made, we attempted to thank the bartender, but his only response was a derisive chortle before walking off. For the remainder of our stay, he was flirting with some female patrons at the other end of the bar. Sharing pictures, conversation, and general good service while we were ignored until we asked for the check to pay and leave as quickly as possible.
