They were so patient with our table of 8, and even let us take pictures before and during dinner, which we really appreciated! I would definitely recommend the duck entrées and rotisserie chicken. Both were so flavorful and tender! The potatoes that came with the duck were sooo good and had the perfect little touch of saltiness. And the french green beans ?? So good! Everything we had was honestly a 10/10. It's a really beautiful place for a birthday, date night, or really any special occasion. We had a great time and would definitely come back!

Flavorful, with both very savory and yet light ingredients which made it perfect for an entree. Not too dense but also filling enough for the wait until dinner. Then the salmon a la plancha. The salmon was cooked to perfection and not overdone, which is unfortunately often the case. The perfect portion along with the tomatoes and kale to keep it rich, but still somehow light. Ended the night with their signature (and recommended) le citron lemon dessert which was to die for. The waitress also brought me some madelines with an adorable little personalized message to complement my little mom's solo night out. 10 out of 10 and certainly can't wait to come again!

I ordered the smoked salmon sandwich for lunch, and it was okay, but I wasn't particularly impressed. That said, my friend ordered the herb salmon with vegetables, and it looked really good. So I may have simply made the wrong menu choice. The server took pretty good care of us and was friendly. Overall, it was a nice place to sit, visit, and catch up with friends. I'd be willing to give it another try and order something different next time.

Everything was stellar, from ambiance, to service, to the food. We had some favorites from our first visit and tried a couple of specials for the night and there wasn't a single miss. Porkbelly & Fried Oysters, Tuna Tartare Canolli, Foie Gras, and Lobster Cakes were all delicious, as was the special Civiche. I had a Red Snapper Special served over a delicios Seafood Risotto and we also had a perfect steak. So good. Banana Cream Cheesecake was awesome! Good cocktails, and an excellent wine menu rounded out the visit. While we haven't tried many places in Charlotte, I feel confident it saying this is the best restaurant in the city.

Only thing keeping me from leaving this as a 5 star review is our server was a bit much like wouldn't stop talking wouldn't give us a second to get a word in or ask questions like he's running on just four cups of espresso and another huge thing was it's actually a bit hot inside the restaurant itself I started to feel nauseous and I thought it was something with the food and then I realized I'm actively dripping sweat and I had to go outside before I threw up I asked my partner and he felt the same way appetizers were star of the show, our server was strange, and it was way too warm inside I'd come back to eat outside after sunset hours if I were to come back here again

The Stuffed Shrimp Provençal was another favorite, with generous lump crab stuffing, perfectly cooked shrimp, delicious roasted fingerling potatoes, Brussels sprouts, and a rich sun-dried tomato beurre blanc. The Maine Crab Cake was packed with fresh crab and paired beautifully with the Israeli couscous, preserved lemon, artichokes, and fresh basil dressing. We also enjoyed the Australian Lamb Chops, which were tender, perfectly cooked, and complemented by the wild mushroom risotto, grilled asparagus, and rich Bordelaise sauce. Every dish was beautifully presented and full of flavor. We'll definitely be back!

The food was genuinely good -- especially the crab bisque, which was rich, flavorful, and easily the star of my meal. My waiter was kind, attentive, and made sure we had everything we needed throughout the night. However, something my best friend noticed made the experience feel a bit uneven. The presumed manager made his way around the dining room greeting every table near us. He even congratulated a couple on their anniversary, but he never acknowledged my birthday or stopped by our table at all. He looked over at us several times, so it wasn't a matter of not seeing us -- it just created an awkward contrast, especially since we were there celebrating a special occasion. Overall, the food and service from our waiter were wonderful, and Bentley's has a beautiful atmosphere. I enjoyed my birthday dinner, but the experience would have felt more complete with a bit more warmth and acknowledgment from the management.

The wings were amazing, as well as the ranch I was a little hesitant to order the pork loin with this peach and arugula salad thing on top but I went for it and MAN was it excellent! I didn't take pictures of the sides but we also ordered the Mac & cheese and Yukon gold purée and they were some of the best side dishes I've ever had. Especially the mashed potatoes and I am a bit of a mashed potato connoisseur Portion sizes were pretty big, we brought home leftovers. Definitely on the pricier side.
