As someone who moved here from the Bay Area and is still finding my favorite outdoor spaces in…read moreCharlotte, I'm always on the lookout for places that offer a little peace and beauty in the middle of a busy day. The McGill Rose Garden absolutely delivered on that. This is truly a beautiful venue--lush flowers everywhere, winding walk paths, and plenty of places to sit quietly and just take it all in. It's the kind of space where you can slow down, clear your head, and quite literally stop and smell the roses. I found it to be a wonderful spot for reflection, a casual stroll, or simply enjoying nature without needing to leave the city. One of the things I especially appreciated is that you can enhance the experience with a visit to the wine bar onsite, Rosie's Wine Garden, where you can grab a coffee, cocktail, or glass of wine and then wander the grounds at your own pace. It adds a relaxed, almost European feel to the whole experience. A quick heads-up: parking can be a bit tricky, as the entrance is off a busy street, so just take your time and be patient when pulling in. Once you're there, though, it's well worth the effort. Bottom line: If you're looking for a small but charming botanical-style garden in Charlotte--a quiet place to reset, reflect, and enjoy the outdoors--this is a lovely little gem. For me, it checked all the boxes and has become a welcome respite in the middle of a busy day.

Rosie's Coffee and Wine is adjacent and service there was super friendly and fast. There is indoor seating there, but the gardens have little twists and turns and different areas to sit, too.

We found a seat and eventually made our way to the bar to see the selection. At that point the bartender/server got up to ask us what we would like to drink. We were never brought menus, we got up and got them from the bar. The pizza we ordered was flavorful, but was under cooked. The bartender/server only came to our table once, to drop our food off. The bartender/server did give us a military discount and we still left a 25% tip even though the service was nonexistent. You never know what someone is going through, and you should always tip. When my family of 4 left, the bartender/server said absolutely nothing.

We started with the spinach and artichoke dip and shared a veggie pizza. Both were delicious, and the food overall was really good. One of my favorite parts of the visit was the beer flight. They have an impressive selection of beers, and our server did a fantastic job explaining each one and helping us choose. The service was attentive from start to finish, and we always felt taken care of. The only downside was the wait--it was much longer than expected. However, once we were seated, the experience made up for it. Overall, I'd definitely come back for the great food, excellent beer selection, and friendly service. If you're planning to visit during a busy time, just be prepared for a bit of a wait.

When we finally got our server, she was personable. But, that is going to be the most positive thing in this review. She took absolutely forever to bring over two beers and a mocktail. By how long it took, we were unsure if the bartender was making the beer herself or if the server forgot. We needed additional items after we got our drinks, which took another eternity.
