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.

Apps came out after entrees, food came out one thing at a time. Went from being incredibly efficient and an easy place to go with kids to an absolute cluster. Pros: food and beer were good, bar staff was quick and nice, server was nice. Opting to move away from QR code ordering was not a well thought out approach. Perhaps more servers and/or smaller sections may help? Also, I'm not really sure if the server wanted to take our drink orders or if bar service is preferred.

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.

Croissants surprisingly were airy and crispy on the outside, so good! Place was clean and staff was very kind to guide me as I ordered.

The food is consistently good and the customer service is always good too. On this visit, I mentioned that it was my birthday and they surprised me with a dessert. It was such a courteous and kind gesture and truly made my birthday feel a little more special. I've actually been asked before what my favorite restaurant is in South Charlotte because so many of Charlotte's really good restaurants are Uptown or in other parts of the city. Every single time, my answer is 131 MAIN. The quality, price, service, and consistency keep me coming back. Definitely one of my South Charlotte favorites.

131 Main exceeded my expectations from start to finish! The food was absolutely amazing, and the…read moreservice was spectacular. From the moment we arrived, I felt genuinely valued as a customer. The staff was attentive, friendly, and made the entire experience feel special without being overbearing. We ordered the margarita, espresso martini, shrimp cocktail, salmon, crab cakes, mashed potatoes, and deviled eggs, and honestly, every single thing was spectacular. Everything was flavorful, beautifully prepared, and exceeded our expectations. The drinks were delicious, the seafood was fresh, and the sides were just as impressive as the entrees. I truly have zero complaints. It's not often that you leave a restaurant feeling like everything--from the food to the service to the overall experience--was exactly right. 131 Main definitely delivered. I would absolutely come back and highly recommend it to anyone looking for a great dining experience. 10/10!

Great spot with a great feel inside and nice modern decor. Really nice bar too. We had a great table for the 7 of us with plenty of space for us all and our food ! Our server was awesome and so attentive to us and our requests. Good food here. Something for everyone. Not the best Italian food I've had ever but was good. We had a bunch of things off the menu and shared it all. They also have drink and food specials everyday posted in the table Drinks were good too some classic Italian cocktails. And great wine list and beers too. Italian heavy as they should be! Guys had Peronis girls had cocktails. Negroni, Italian Paloma , espresso martini and Hugo spritz. All great and nice glasses and presentation. We had a lot of food ! The bread service is excellent, soft but light and airy. Great olive oil too. The polenta pour is a must ! So unusual, they pour polenta at a table by your table on a wooden plank and top it with toasted mushrooms, garlic sautéed spinach, Italian meatballs , Italian sweet sausage and tender rapini, which is broccoli rabe. It's a great visual and great for many people . You order per person and we just did 2 people and let me tell you it's plenty for 4 . We all ate off it from the center of the table along with everything else. Cool idea. Also we had the pumpkin ravioli, ribeye steak, which was cooked perfectly , funghi Campanelli, roasted tomato soup, Caprese flatbread and Cesar salad. All of this was excellent. I loved the pasta in the funghi dish ! Caprese flatbread was really good and the crust was nice and crunchy. The guys loved the steak. Then we had a few affagatos to round it all out and that was awesome and delicious too. So nicely presented too with a red mug of gelato and Amaretti cookie crumble and a little out of hot espresso . So good . I recommend either less gelato or more espresso. Little off in the ratio. But still very good and rich. We had a totally fun night here . Great new spot in South Park area.

Meh. I hate to write this, but it's important for the restaurant to take note - we wanted to like…read morethis place sooooooooooooo badly. Excited to give it a whirl on a Friday night. We arrived to be sat in the WORST table in the whole restaurant (and it was freezing cold in there, we sat on what felt like "chilled" chairs). The table was bad because the host and hostess had to bump us every time they walked other tables back (and then those customers bumped us) - this also happened when they delivered food. Seriously horrible table placement. We got bumped more than 10x before even ordering drinks. We questioned if it was a "what would you do" TV show about to have John Quinones pop out from behind a wall. On to the food/service - the waitress was pleasant and all, but she almost whispered. We genuinely couldn't hear what she said the first 5 mins of intros and specials but she did point to the things on the menu they were OUT of. (Too many for a Friday night). I wanted a hot drink - anything because I was so cold..... and she said, "I have hot water" - great, but no tea. No coffee? No tea? Nothing hot as my teeth were chattering? Nope. We ordered diet cokes. They came in mini glass bottles (ugh) and the martini one of my guests ordered was literally 1/3 full and was lousy. (Oh no). Now we were in too deep. 20 mins of staring at the menu, miss whisper returned and we ordered. The food was quite bland/boring. The chicken parm came with sliced provolone on top that was not even melted and a few sliced cherry tomatoes on top of that. Interesting. What was that?!? The pasta was cooked perfectly but the sauce needed salt as it genuinely had zero flavor. Some random guy who was quite personable saved us as he brought salt and cheese to the table. No idea where our waitress went - drinks sat empty, plates half emptied because we simply couldn't finish. She returned eventually and asked about dessert - we didn't bother to look. We'd have probably waited another 45 mins to get dessert and we continued to get bumped the whole meal. Again, she was lovely (from what we heard her say) but the lackluster Friday night simply soured us. Best part honestly? The taffy bins on the way out. We grabbed a couple pieces and they were great. Otherwise, I hope they can drum up enough of a crowd to keep their rent paid. Sadly it won't be us. Seems a few tables around us felt it was ok (but for a Friday night this place was pretty lightly filled) - maybe better seating would've changed our whole attitude. (And some salt & pepper on the table). It was weird to not even be offered any kind of bread either - if you want some kind of side or something to supplement the sauces, you likely need to order it. Too pricy for the experience we had. It's a no from us.

I stop at Salata in South End probably once a week or every other week and order the exact same…read morewrap every time: Romaine, pesto chicken, corn, tomato, parmesan, and double Caesar on a cucumber wrap. Yes, double Caesar. I know. Judge me if you want. It's my favorite part, and the pesto chicken is ridiculously good. Anyway, I was passing the SouthPark location one day and figured I'd save myself the trip to South End. Mistake. I made it all the way down the line, ordered my usual ingredients, said "double Caesar," and the employee just looked at me and said: "No." I genuinely thought she was joking. Apparently two scoops of Caesar would make the wrap "explode".. her words not mine. I explained that I order this exact wrap at South End constantly and they wrap it without even blinking. Didn't matter. I asked if she could just try. No. Asked again because surely we weren't seriously having a standoff over an extra scoop of salad dressing. Still no. Guys, I'm not asking you to wrap soup. It's lettuce, chicken, corn, tomato, cheese and slightly more Caesar dressing than society apparently considers appropriate. After about the fifth refusal, I just walked out, drove to the South End location, ordered the exact same wrap, said "double Caesar" and nobody cared. They wrapped it perfectly. I'm sure the SouthPark location makes a perfectly good salad, but if my usual order requires a debate and a feasibility study, I'll just keep driving to South End.

Went to Salata for lunch- they have plenty of seating inside- it is very clean…read more They have SO many different toppings to choose from- the most I've seen from a build your own salad place. They don't have a menu posted on the wall but there was a couple paper ones with a couple salads to choose from- I got the southwestern. It was really good but SO spicy which I wasn't prepared for. The multi grain croissant was so good as a side. They have small, regular or a wrap. The regular was perfect sized for lunch and a had a little bit left over. They have some drinks available in a cooler and you can get lemonade, tea etc. from dispensers. It was almost $17 for my salad which I thought was a tad pricy. Note to: you have to park in the parking deck and walk up, but it is free for the first little bit. I would go back!

I've tried several of the sauces and my favorite hands down is the vodka sauce. I like to add spinach and mushrooms to it. I have a few critiques though. I think the pasta water is under-salted most of the time. The noodles could use more salt content in my opinion. The salad proteins are always overcooked - edges are often hard. Finally, the service isn't great. Trying to get a water or tea refill is all but impossible. I will keep going bc the food is mostly good and I enjoy the ambience.
