    Spicy Christmas with cranberries mocktail at Corner Bar, Charlotte
    Bruce K.

    Great service at this very small spot in Ayrsley that overlooks the movie theater. We arrived at dinner time on the way home from food shopping and popped in for a snack. I had a tin of beer, my wife had a mocktail which she said was excellent. Lots of options for non-alcoholic drinks here if that's your preference. A few minutes later, our order of fried cauliflower arrived. A little sticky with a sweet sauce but nice and spicy and very delicious. I'd have this again when I come here next time.

    Delicious food and drinks! Came here while out of town for a business trip. Service was friendly and fast. Had some good conversations with other people at the bar and the bartenders. If I'm ever back in town I will be back for the amazing food and drinks!

    Came in 30 minutes before kitchen close and the staff were great ordered several drinks, all great. Everything was hot and huge portions. Everything was cooked perfectly. Awesome little corner bar.

    The garlic honey chicken bites were so so good! We tried ordering from grub hub but it did not go through and the staff gave us free drinks as they made our food. We sat outside and ate and it was a great experience!

    I had a nice night at the Corner Bar. I had an old fashioned which was very strong and lacked the dash of sugar needed to balance it out. The Brussel sprouts were probably my favorite thing along with my son's chicken bites and fries. I wanted to love the sirloin kabobs but they were very dry and overcooked. Overall good vibes and wonderful service!

    I liked this spot! I work locally in the area and liked their cocktail menu and decided to try it out. I want to note this is not a cocktail bar or a fine dining tavern. This is a dive that knows its regulars and offers good cocktails. The food was good, I got the chili however it wasn't really warm enough. This place fills up fast around 5 so come early and get a seat. I'll definitely be back, overall I enjoyed it.

    I have found myself a sexy new hang out spot with GREAT FOOD and atmosphere. After running around town and 2 other stops where we waited an hour at each place trying to find a place to eat with all of the staffing shortages, my girlfriend suggested that we go here. And I am so happy that she did. This place is small but Mighty. The menu is small but packed full of flavour. Even though the place was packed to the rafters, the staff and kitchen were fast, efficient and my burger came out cooked perfectly. And the cocktails were on point as well. If you are looking for a romantic place to dine or just a classy bohemian sexy place to chill out, this place is for you.

    Bartenders are easy to talk to and informative about drinks on offer. Including new drinks I hadn't seen before. The bar itself is small but has an awesome atmosphere. Apparently they used to play black and white movies on repeat which I hope they can bring back! We stopped here for dinner and the food was delicious. I had a classic burger which came with surprisingly tasty fries. Definitely happy to recommend it.

The first time was in November 2025 and 2nd time March 2026 where the bartenders were professional, welcoming, knowledgeable, and made some of the best Bloody Marys we've had in Charlotte. The food was excellent, and we left both times excited to come back. Unfortunately, this Sunday's visit (around 2 p.m.) felt like a different restaurant. It was much busier, and service was noticeably lacking. We waited quite a while just to be acknowledged, our drinks weren't nearly the quality they had been before, and the Bloody Mary tasted like it came straight from a mix instead of being handcrafted like our previous visits. The food was also disappointing. It was much saltier than we remembered, and we never received the Caesar salad with steak we ordered. To the staff's credit, it wasn't on our bill, so we didn't mention it. Overall, no one was rude, but the attention to detail, professionalism, and overall experience that earned our previous five-star reviews just wasn't there this time. We're hoping this was simply an off day because we genuinely loved this place and would like to see it return to the high standard that made us regular customers.

They have cornhole and ping pong and just a fun atmosphere out there. Our server was warm and attentive. We did not have to wait for refills and she was quick to answer any questions we had. We started with a few apps - the chips and onion dip and the pigs in a blanket. The chips were well salted and the onion dip was DELISH!!! The pigs were wrapped in homemade party dough and came with a honey mustard crème fraiche. They were so good!! For entrees we tried the fried chicken, prime rib dip, and the meatloaf. The chicken was crispy on the outside, juicy on the inside, and perfectly seasoned. The mashed potatoes were so good too. The only misstep on this dish was the biscuit. Way too dense and not very flavorful. The prime rib dip was tender and came on the most crispy bread. What a great combo! The only thing that wasn't great were the fries, just nothing too special. The meatloaf dish was flavorful and came with those yummy mashed potatoes so great pairing. We didn't have room for dresser on site but we did take the monkey bread to go and enjoyed it later. Good portion size and full of apple and caramel flavor. Did not regret taking that home!! Really looking forward to this spot opening closer to home. Highly recommended

It takes some effort, but buying a live lobster and cooking oneself is really the best way. I was hopeful- but ultimately disappointed.

    Attractive and comfortable restaurant; however, they have a major flaw. They do NOT have menus…read more The waitress pointed to a square thingy on the table. Neither my friend or I have the capability to use it, and frankly we shouldn't have to. I'd like to look at my options in-hand. Instead, the waitress literally had to verbally tell us every single item the restaurant had since there were no menus. I'm taking a star off for this ridiculous inconvenience. The only reason I'm giving 4 Stars is because of the quality and price of the food. The music was loud and annoying for dinner. We could not hear the waitress and we had difficulty having a conversation. Perhaps these reasons are why there is barely anyone in the restaurant despite the food and drinks being excellent. Honestly, the menus and music would make me think twice about returning and has likely affected others the same way as well. It's a shame, because this restaurant has so much potential. On Wednesday they have a $30 special for a 12oz ribeye or salmon, 2 sides, and a cocktail for $30. The cocktails were beautiful and excellent. I got the ribeye, mashed potatoes, and asparagus. The ribeye was tender. However, I asked for horseradish cream sauce or chimichurri for the steak, but they didn't have either one, which is odd if they serve steaks. The mashed potatoes were seasoned to perfection and cheesy. The asparagus were cooked thoroughly and perfect. (Not the silly al dente found at some restaurants). I'll definitely come back again on a Wednesday and bring my husband (who also doesn't use barcode thingies). We live 1 mile away and would love to make this a regular spot. Can you PLEASE have some REAL MENUS ready and turn down the music ?!?!?!

The waffles were so hard that I honestly can't believe the kitchen sent them out, and I can't believe I actually tried to eat them! I really want to see this place succeed, but they definitely need to work on consistency, especially with both the food and the drinks. There's potential here, but unfortunately, my experiences so far have been more disappointing than enjoyable.

Set in a charming old home, the aesthetic is incredibly welcoming with a quaint downstairs bar, a gorgeous outdoor patio, and cozy seating upstairs--there truly isn't a bad seat in the house. The staff and service are always exceptional, which only adds to the amazing experience. They offer daily specials alongside a rotating and standing menu, making every visit unique. There are so many standout dishes that it can be hard to choose, but my ultimate go-to is the seared ahi tuna salad. I don't know how they make that sesame and shoyu dressing, but it is one of a kind! I also highly recommend the hummus, the baked marinated Vermont goat cheese, "The Usual," and any of their steak options. Definitely don't skip dessert! On my last trip, I tried the strawberry shortcake, and it was divine. The goat cheese and cherry cheesecake and the rotating sorbets are also phenomenal.

They have always had, in my estimation, the best French onion soup around and I was craving it, so off I went. The restaurant off East Boulevard is an eclectic sort of place, and in my memory the interior hasn't ever changed. The wood is dark, the tables a bit worn and packed together to give a slightly claustrophobic feel, and the decor is always vaguely counterculture. For people who like NoDa and Plaza Midwood (before its recent transformation), it's homey as can be. I enjoyed the familiarity of its unpretentious surroundings as I took a seat in a tiny corner booth. Delighted to note that the French onion soup is as delicious as ever, with a richly flavored broth and a generous amount of bread and cheese baked in. While the quality hasn't diminished, thank heavens, the size has gone from a bowl to a cup. As it was my upcharged side I didn't mind terribly but still. Alas. Kudos to the kitchen for letting me have my soup before my sandwich was delivered, but here is where things went a little south. I had ordered The Usual, one of their trademark dishes, a hot open-faced chicken salad sandwich on a baguette topped with asparagus, mushrooms and cheese. It too has been the victim of shrinkflation, about 2/3 as big as once it was. Again, didn't mind terribly much but the toppings themselves were scant: three small strips of jarred or canned asparagus, four slices of mushroom. Okay, everything is expensive these days, but the edges of the sandwich were burned and the filling was cool, meaning the salamander setting was off and no one checked it before sending it out or putting it down. I might have considered sending it back but that's when my server disappeared. My water glass sat empty for half my meal and was never refilled. Even paying the check was sluggish. So I give the current state 300 East a solid three with a disappointed sigh because they seem to be phoning it in. Really great French onion soup, though.

Seafood is expensive, I get that. But I don't know that there's much value to be had here. Portion sizes are small relative to what you're paying for. And in my opinion, while the freshness and the quality of the seafood may be there, the flavor is not. I have no doubt that the quality of the seafood here is good. But I did not enjoy anything I ordered. I wasn't put off by the food, but I wish I had wanted to savor each bit. I ordered the cajun grilled oysters and the miso sablefish. I thought both were too salty and despite paying over $40 for the meal, I left still a bit hungry.
