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.

I had a great lunch at this Salata location the other day. I didn't even realize this was here. I…read moreknew about the Uptown location, but I'm rarely in this area so I hadn't even seen that this one was here. It was super convenient. I walked in and no one was inside so I was able to order right away. I had a spinach salad with lots of yummy fresh toppings and the spice chipotle lime chicken. It looked as good as it tasted. 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.

Went back today to get my free bowl and sadly it was even worse. Old dry brown rice, no more mixed grains. Chicken was dry too. No more chopping of larger ingredients so left with avocado and whole tortilla chips and no knives available. No more cucumber spa water. Overall food quality was horrible and no bread offered either. It's noon and no one here, used to be long lines. Hope they go out of business if they are this uncaring of their customers and quality.

I've been waiting a while to write this review in hopes that I can say something more positive. I…read morehave eaten here many times since I started working nearby 2 years ago. Every single time I have an issue. The most common is the food not being ready. I place my orders online so they can be ready when I arrive. They NEVER are ready when they say they will be. Since the food is good I still order. I was thinking that maybe the online ordering time frames are off so the last few times I waited 10 minutes after my order pickup time before heading over. Guess what? The food still isn't ready. And not only has it not been ready but it hasn't even been started. You might be thinking that this is because they are busy. Nope. When I arrive they are just hanging out and and not working. So even though I like the food I've had way too many issues here to continue to return.

Came to CAVA for the first time ever yesterday…read more What surprised me first is that their menu boards were printed soooo tiny that it wasn't until it was my turn in line that I was even able to read what their offerings were. And with a growing line of people behind me, I felt pressured to make a quick, game time decision. I opted for a BYO bowl but was disappointed that they were out of things I really wanted to get like the black lentils and grilled steak. Which I thought was odd for 7PM on a Tuesday. The cashiers were nice enough to give me a sample of their braised lamb which was everything I wanted: tender, a little salty, downright sinful. I also opted to get their seasonal beverage: the Pineapple-Apple beverage and it was freaking delicious. Sweet without being too sweet, just the way I like it. All-n-all, I enjoyed my meal, but with so many competitors like Yafo, Ilios, Zoe's, Sabor, Chipotle, I'm not so sure that CAVA is unique enough to keep me coming back more often without an incentive. Still a really good choice for a quick, fresh, Mediterranean meal tho.

I don't usually consider them for meals but every now and then when I am craving something sweet they hit the spot! Vitality Bowls is a chain originating out west that now has a home in Southend Charlotte at the Railyard development. Since my office is nearby, some coworkers and I decided to order ahead and walk over to enjoy our bowls. In addition to açaí bowls they offer sandwiches, wraps, smoothies, and other types of bowl/salads. The server was friendly and our food was ready and packaged to go when we arrived. I decided to go with the Nutty Bowl. No I admit I am somewhat of a novice when it comes to açaí bowls, but in the past when I get them, they usually come with a lot of toppings and drizzle that not only adds to the flavors and presentation, but makes the bowl more filling and dense. The bowl I received was perfectly tasty, it just felt a little bit underwhelming and underdone. It was light on the toppings and seemed like it was tossed together quickly. Now the simple explanation could be that since we made a larger order ahead of time the person making them may have been under pressure to finish each one faster before moving on to the next. I certainly want to go back by myself and order in the store to see how the bowl compares. I really did enjoy the blend they used for the base of the bowl and I can tell it was made using fresh ingredients. For what it's worth my coworkers all enjoyed their sandwiches as well. I will have to give it another shot

Pistachio cannoli: 3.5 stars. So small you could eat it with 1-2 bites. Tastes decent and I enjoyed the pistachios.

Umm...It was good, don't get me wrong, but it's far from being the best pizza in the city…read more I gave it 3 stars to be generous but its more like 2.75. The specialty pizza options didn't appeal to me, so I built my own. Compared to other places, the ricotta spots were a bit small. The toppings were scattered in bunches, and not evenly distributed. So some bites had more jalapeño than others and was extremely hot. It's a thinner crust, which everyone seems to love, but the crust itself was chewy and hard. (I got it normal - not extra crispy or cooked) It had good flavors and the dill ranch is perfect for dipping.... but I will add that my friend had gotten it before and forgotten she had tried it. Which means it's not memorable....
