During my most recent visit, I spent nearly an hour watching a staff member greet and check on every table in my section except mine. She made eye contact with me several times but never acknowledged me or asked if I needed anything. Being completely overlooked while everyone around me received attentive service was frustrating and made me feel unwelcome. I brought my concerns to the manager, hoping the issue would be taken seriously. Instead, I felt that excuses were made for the staff member's behavior rather than acknowledging my experience. That response left me with the impression that this type of service is acceptable and that the issue is unlikely to be addressed. That's disappointing because the food and atmosphere are genuinely enjoyable, but good service should be part of the overall experience as well.

There's a beautiful, spacious patio, a small coffee shop and takeaway area up front, a cozy bar, and a main dining restaurant area. Their wine wall and overall selection are incredibly impressive. They also feature a great cocktail menu--and for my fellow martini fans, they have blue cheese olives (IYKYK). The staff is super inviting and helpful with recommendations. You definitely won't be disappointed if you order the mussels, tuna, or scallops. Pro Tip: Be sure to go with someone who is willing to order something different so you can share and try a bit of everything!

Yafo Kitchen has become my go-to spot in Charlotte, largely because of one dish: the schnitzel…read more If you're a schnitzel fan, stop reading and order it. Two generous pieces arrive shatteringly crisp with a beautifully seasoned panko crust that's never greasy. The chicken stays tender and juicy, and the fresh lemon wedges bring everything to life. It's one of those dishes that keeps pulling me back. My favorite side is the shell macaroni and cheese. Rich, creamy, and unapologetically indulgent. Together, the schnitzel and mac and cheese are comfort food perfection. I also love the self-serve organic Tractor beverages, the open kitchen concept, and how consistently clean the restaurant feels. The team is friendly, the food comes out quickly, and you can watch everything being prepared right in front of you. Parking is easy thanks to the shared shopping center lot, the outdoor patio along East Boulevard is pleasant, and the portions are generous for the price. Clean restaurant. Friendly people. Consistently delicious food. Yafo is one of those places that simply gets it right. Life is too short not to eat well, Charlotte.

I ordered Yafo Kitchen through DoorDash, and honestly, the picture of the Musakhan Chicken Pita…read moreTacos is what got me. They looked hearty in the photo and definitely did not disappoint. I love Mediterranean food, especially when I'm traveling and want something that feels a little lighter while still being filling. I also ordered a build-your-own bowl. I haven't tried the bowl yet, but between the bowl and tacos, the portions were very generous for the price. This is easily enough food for me to eat over a couple of days. The corn, however, wasn't for me. I was expecting something closer to fresh grilled corn, but it tasted more like grilled canned corn. It reminded me a little of Mexican-style street corn, but with less cilantro and cotija and more of a feta flavor. It just wasn't a highlight for me. My biggest issue was the delivery packaging. Nothing in the bag was sealed or secured. The pita bread was loose inside the brown paper bag, and the bag itself wasn't taped, stapled, or sealed. The taco container arrived caved in and leaking from the bottom, so unpacking everything was pretty messy. With food being left at the door for delivery, I would really like to see the packaging secured better. The tacos also needed a quick trip to the oven once they arrived to firm the pita back up, but after that, I really enjoyed them. Overall, the food was good, the portions were generous, and I would absolutely eat here again. I just don't think delivery is the ideal way to experience it unless the packaging improves.

The family meal!

Currently on bad weather days the inside seating is limited and feels cramped with large parties. For the most part, sitting outside is the way to go on the picnic tables! There is a classic cozy feel to the smaller space!

My girlfriend and I stopped by Salata in South End on the way out of town for a birthday Airbnb…read moretrip and thought the place looked great inside. The space is bright, clean, and feels like a nice addition to the neighborhood. The biggest downside was the parking situation which is obviously more of a South End issue than a Salata issue, but it definitely made the quick stop feel less convenient than we expected. The ordering flow was also a little awkward... after building your order you end up waiting at the register while the food is assembled, which slowed things down more than it needed to. Food-wise, my wrap ended up being really good but there wasn't an option for a plain wrap, so I went with the cucumber wrap instead of whole wheat and it actually worked out great. Overall, it was a good meal, but if I'm choosing between salad spots in Charlotte I'd probably lean toward Chopt most of the time.

The pesto chicken looked great too, but I wanted a little heat. I love their options and that you get the cute lil croissant with the salad. I had the ginger lime vinaigrette and REALLY enjoyed this salad.

Out of the four of us, I was the only one who hadn't been here before. It's a long-standing, no-frills wing shack/sports-bar hybrid in south Charlotte that's built a loyal following around one thing: serious wings. There are other things on the menu--but unless you want an appetizer or something alongside your wings, ignore them--the wings are the main event. Their website claims 25 flavors, and if you order more than one set of five, you can sample more than one. I went with ten wings: mild Buffalo and lemon pepper. Everyone recommended the lemon pepper wings. These are not a dry rub; they're a wet, glossy toss--and they are OUTSTANDING. I'm hooked. The Buffalo wings were on par with the best versions of the classic style. They provide celery sticks with blue cheese or ranch dressing--I chose blue cheese--and it was a great accompaniment. We also had their Spicy Onion Rings as an appetizer before we ordered the wings. The onion itself brings natural sweetness and mild sharpness (especially when hot), while the batter/coating is where the personality lives: savory, slightly salty, and well-seasoned. DD Peckers' spicy onion rings are essentially a classic crispy onion ring elevated with a peppery seasoning--where the heat enhances the onion's natural sweetness rather than overpowering it. They have a great selection of craft beers and ciders and offer a full bar. Most of us had Olde Mecklenburg Brewery Copper, a local Charlotte beer. I had two bottles of Bold Rock Hard Apple Cider, which paired well with both the onion rings and the wings, along with a glass of Olde Mecklenburg Copper in between. Our waitress was attentive, fun, and efficient. She kept everything moving seamlessly, and all of our needs were met exceptionally. We all tipped her well. The food and drink here are quite a bargain--especially considering how iconic this restaurant is and how delicious their wings are. A great night with friends, good drinks, and incredible wings--what could be better?
