    Top Plate: Brie Appetizer  Bottom Plates: Crispy Brussels Sprouts and Blackened Chicken Dip

    Charming, lovely, quiet atmosphere. Came for appetizers and drinks!! The Blackened Chicken Dip and Crispy Brussels were the star of the appetizers. Would definitely recommend for a date night

    Cajun cream pasta with shrimp and Brussels sprouts.

    I have always loved this place but this was the best visit I've ever had. The head chef and waitstaff have really outdone themselves with menu, ambience, and service. We sat outside and pretty much had the beautiful patio to ourselves. The fried squash and bread/butter board was delicious and I was surprised to find out that they have a pre-fixed 4 course menu option for less than $50. That is pretty unbelievable! My dad ordered it- the starter had purple potatoes and pimento cheese (so good). I had the Cajun cream pasta. Everything digested really well (I think because of how high quality their ingredients are) and it was a really memorable time. 10/10. Thanks Barristers for how far you've come in 5 years!!

    I'm torn. The restaurant is adorable and the food was prepared quickly however the service was tough to get past. I wasn't acknowledged at all by several waitresses just standing there talking and multiple others until I obviously looked very bothered. The lady looked at the others standing around confused but yet failed to empathize or address the wait time. The pasta was really good. I will say give it a try, maybe it was just a bad night.

    Excellent place for lunch/dinner. Cool building. Delicious food. Inventive cocktails. 10/10 would eat again!

    Stayed here at the new boutique hotel in downtown Gastonia - The Esquire - and had both dinner last night and breakfast day. Simply put, both experiences were 100% excellent. From last night's smoked trout dip and cheesy tots to the wood-grill charred "lite gems" heart of romaine and fantastic filet... dinner rocked. The breakfast was also outstanding - breakfast hash with pork sausage, homemade butter, local grits, and fresh-squeezed OJ! Great place to eat for any meal of the day! Everything in this gorgeous 1918 bank-turned lawyers-building is on-point. The design, staff, and all amenities.

    The restaurant is nice looking in, but If you sit looking out, its not that nice because you're looking out at the entry way where people check into the hotel. The service was good - the food was OK. Steak was a little over cooked than I wanted, and I think my guests who got the shrimp dish and the burger enjoyed it. The cheese board didn't look as good as I thought it was going to be, but hey first time for everything. Good place for drinks. Overall, It wasn't amazingly great, but it was good. It wouldn't be my first choice, but I'd come back.

    Such a beautiful building and space. I was honestly in awe when I walked in. I have been to…read moreWaterbean before, but this Gastonia location truly blew me away. There is so much seating, like so so much, and it was surprisingly quiet for a Saturday. This would be the perfect spot to work remotely or meet friends for coffee without feeling cramped or rushed. The drinks are affordable and so delicious, which is always a win. On top of that, every staff member we interacted with was incredibly kind and welcoming. Hands down one of my favorite Waterbean locations. I will definitely be back.

Easy access to Franklin Blvd. Large room, spacious seating area and very clean! The staff are friendly and helpful. They have more than just coffee. A vast amount of coffees, lattes, mochas and tea etc. Pastries, muffins, brownies, cookies and sandwiches! Gender neutral restrooms that are clean! There's a tasting room for events and you can rent the space for showers, meetings or special events. It's a classy coffee bar. It has the look of being in Charlotte but with a soft subtle small town charm. It even has a beautiful piano as you enter. I'm so glad I stopped by. I will definitely visit again and also. This is a beautiful and cozy place to unwind after a long day or give you the energy to start your day! Come check them out for yourself!

Overall service was very good; our server was pleasant, attentive and patient throughout our stay. Our party mostly ordered the various burger options ( all were juicy and served with mayo ) served with either fries or a side salad and I'd recommend the Hangover Burger myself. The spicy chicken sandwich was another good option for chicken lovers. Again we passed on the pastries but the ice cream was very good. I again witnessed the tale of two restaurants as the primary business and labor focus appears to be on the ice cream, baked goods and pastries side which did impact the in dining side service of the business. Could just have been a staffing issue but something to be aware of when considering table service. Overall restaurant offered friendly service and good food that's reasonably priced.
