Thankfully a group of people left so they opened up a bunch of tables not only for us but other patrons coming in as well. Once seated our server immediately took our drink order. She was very friendly and efficient. I ended up trying their white chilli and It was so delicious! I wasn't really hungry but this definitely helped out while drinking my glass of Pinot. Very small but quaint place. They have specials through out the week. Food is absolutely delicious. Definitely returning. We ended up staying until about 9 when they were closing down the restaurant and there were still people there. I can see this placr bring very popular during the weekend.

Fresh seafood? GO HERE. Second time I have eaten here in two weeks. Phenomenal both times…read more We had: Beans and bread they bring. 100/10. Eat it all and ask for more. Nuff said. Mussels. 15/10 had them both times and they were great. I love bonefish mussels so much and it's hard to beat them, but their broth can be heavy and rich which can overpower the mussels. Via Roma does them right. Perfect blend of white wine, lemon and garlic. They are perfectly tender and not chewy. Branzino. 1000/10. If i could eat this everyday, i would. Two delicate yet hearty sea bass filets atop perfectly crispy julienne vegetables. This is one of my favorite dishes in all of charlotte to eat. It's clean, healthy, lightly seasoned yet hearty, full of flavor and cooked to perfection. Two big fish filets on a large portion of veggies. I couldn't think of a way to make this better if i tried. And i can't order anything else here because i love it and feel great after eating it. Just so happy to have a healthy, hearty, filling and absolutely delicious option when dining fine! My friend got the jumbo shrimp and scallop risotto. He is one of the pickiest people I've ever met. I didn't try it myself but he gave it rave reviews and he ate every bite so i can only imagine it was also perfect. Bread pudding 3/10 ehhh. Heavy and dense, not like moms. I wouldn't get it again but it wasn't bad. Crème brûlée 100/10 if you like crème brûlée this is the one for you. Perfect crust. Berries and crème.

The portion size were generous, selection featured your more costly dishing and it taste great. The service was top notch as well.

For starters we had the seafood salad 4/5 again loaded with fresh seafood and the sausage 5/5 was very tasty. For dessert the limoncello and chocolate cake was great.

I had bookmarked this spot due to its decent Yelp reviews and since it was within walking distance of our stay, and open, we decided to go here. What a great spot! Our server Angela was nice and attentive. We ate and drank inside, which was great for us because my GF didn't want to deal with bugs and 73° outside was too warm for me... We were seated at high top tables near the bar. Pretty cool interior space, lots of wine on display, and one wall was covered with old wine boxes. It wasn't noisy at all and it was nice not having to shout over a booming music. As for the main event, the food and wine: 1) I'm writing this pretty buzzed so my recollection may be hazy, but I got the "Here Comes the Sun" flight and my GF got the "Bubble Me Up, Scotty!" flight. Not only a good value (3x 2oz tasters for about the same price as a glass [6oz] of wine), but all six of the items in our flights were quite good. We ended up getting two more glasses each of our favorites of the three (Lambrusco for the missus, Grüner Veltliner for me). As for food: I got the shrimp cocktail (4.5/5) and my GF got the lamb sliders (also 4.5/5). And we split a Caesar salad with grilled chicken, which oddly enough to say, was the best Caesar salad we've ever had. Perfect dressing-to-lettuce ratio, the dressing was excellent, and the grilled chicken was perfect. And then we got 4 doughnuts for dessert. We are only here for five nights but I'm sure we will be back. 5/5 would definitely recommend.

This was our first visit to Foxcroft. We had reservations for Tuesday at 7:15. The patio was mostly…read morefull but there were about 6 tables open. We were greeted warmly and escorted to a table right away. I chose the bubbly wine flight and the chicken Milanese. My husband chose the rigatoni and a German pilsner. We shared our meals because they were both so flavorful but at the end were still a little hungry and wished there was bread service available to order along with the meals or sides that we could add to our meals for a little extra $. We did notice that on the menu for the burger, you could add a side of fries for $3. Otherwise the appetizer of fries goes for $13. We ended up ordering a slice of the chocolate cake. It's a slightly dense version with ganache and was very good. Overall we were so happy with our food and drink choices and look forward to coming back. The only little disappointment was when I made the reservation, it asked if there was a celebration and I checked the box that it was a birthday celebration. There was never a "happy birthday " wished to us or any mention at all. In no way, do I want or need somebody coming out and singing happy birthday to me but it's always nice when a restaurant will actually wish a person a happy birthday or maybe give a small dessert after the meal. I specifically look for restaurants that do this when choosing where to eat for a special occasion. So will I come here again? Absolutely, it will go into the regular rotation. Will I choose Foxcroft for our birthdays or anniversary? I would probably choose somewhere else where they acknowledge it.

I came here with a group of friends to celebrate someone's birthday on Sunday around 8pm. This was…read moreone of the few places open past 9pm and with outdoor seating, which was essential given we had just come from a full day of climbing and were all quite sticky and sweaty, as one would expect. There were 8 of us in total, and we pushed about 3 tables together. We opted to share a 3 large pizzas (milanese, chicken pesto, and meats) and 2 salads (intermezzo and romaine). We also ordered a few drinks - beers, champagne cocktail, and lemonade. I can't quite put a finger on it, while nothing was particularly negative here, it wasn't outstanding either. The water tasted a little weird; although I think it might have just been a dirty cup. The salads were surprisingly small for entree size, and more importantly pricing. Flavor wise they were fine though. I think my favorite pizza was the chicken pesto, although the other two tasted good as well. Atmosphere wise, while it was nice to be able to sit outside, the proximity/visibility to the main road might have been a bit offputting. It's at a busy intersection. On the bright side, there is a parking lot as well as some indoor seating, although not a lot, and I'm suring sitting inside might be more pleasant another time. Service was friendly and timely too. @azfitfoodfun

The…read morerestaurant is pretty small and it really felt like you were stepping into a different space. It was cozy, they had a few TVs on, and we found a place at the bar. There were no tables available when we arrived, though didn't have to wait long. Our drinks were good, they had some draft beers, a selection of wine, and a cocktail menu. We ordered the romaine salad and a pesto chicken pizza to split. Both were delicious!! They don't take reservations for smaller parties, so you have to wing it, and they have a nice patio space, which they covered and heated for extra seating in the winter. Overall, I'd recommend Intermezzo to friends, and I'll absolutely be going back!

The waitress was horrible . I asked about the food specials and after asking her to repeat things three times I gave up. She had a very put off demeanor as tho she wasn't interested in helping or serving us. She never offered us a refill of any water and never cleared any of our salad or dinner plates. Finally another waitress came by and helped us. Offered us water refills and cleared the table. The food was meh. My spaghetti tasted like it had been in the oven warmer too long and was really not good. It was spaghetti. How do you mess that up ? It wasn't good. Hubs had the veal Parmesan . It was good . For dessert I order a tiramisu thinking maybe that would be the better ending to this horrible dinner situation. It came to us covered in a bottle of Hershey's syrup. So bad - I couldn't do it and knew the waitress wasn't coming back so I asked for the manager . Got a replacement tiramisu that was better, but honestly by then I simply wanted to leave. I have been to two other Portofino locations and never have had such a put off experience or really bad and uncaring waitress. I won't make this mistake again. Ever.

Dope Mediterranean restaurant right on Plaza. You can easily ride right past it and not notice it,…read morebut it's a gem in plain sight! I went here for the first time the other night while searching for a healthy meal. The atmosphere was very laid back with relaxing lighting & a spacious patio space as well. It's a market too so they have multiple refrigerators with bottled & canned drinks you can grab and go with. They also have a full bar. Currently I'm trying to stay away from fried food & Red meat so I wanted some chicken. The only chicken dish was a dish with fried chicken. I opted to get a veggie and grains bowl & added roasted chicken thighs. The dish came with quinoa, beats, & sweet potatoes. I also got a side of Brussel sprouts which were ok at best (needed to be cooked just a little longer). Outside of that, the dish was really good & filling. I'll definitely be back. Also one thing to add, I initially ordered the dish with fried chicken & was told that the fried chicken could be substituted. After I paid, the manager came over & explained that the dish couldn't be substituted for grilled chicken & worked with me to get something that I actually wanted, that's how I ended up with the bowl. So great service on his part.
