    Complimentary bread and salted butter
    Sandy T.

    I stayed in Charlotte for a few days. I walked the streets of uptown so many times that I no longer needed GPS to get around. There are tons of restaurants in the area, highly rated too, but I didn't feel like going into any of them. I kept walking and walking until I saw The Fifth Fork. Unlike every other restaurant in Charlotte, this one was empty and quiet; there were about 2 other guests in the whole restaurant when I walked in. I took a seat, not knowing what I was getting myself into at all. The menu is simple but delicious and seemed very fresh. I got the grouper. It was cooked and seasoned perfectly. This restaurant is fancy but the staff is very personable and kind. To start off my meal, they gave me a complimentary bread roll. I will say, the bread wasn't the best because it was kind of stale, even though it was warm. I think it's just the texture of the bread that wasn't soft to begin with. One of the servers told me this restaurant will be changed into something completely different soon. Glad I got to try it when I did.

    I am so glad we tried this restaurant! I made a Saturday night reservation for two. We were about 10 minutes late and the restaurant was super friendly and accepting of our tardiness. When we were seated, our waitress took several minutes to greet us and then our drinks were delayed. I was in absolute awe at our server who gave us complimentary cocktails for their delay. It was so considerate, especially because we were late too! The bread for the table was warm and fresh with good flavors of herbs. I wish the butter was salted all the way through rather than just a sprinkle on top. The beef short rib was tender and flavorful. The filet was cooked to perfection, although I wish I realized how much butter would be on top, it was a bit overpowering. The mashed potatoes really stole the show with the flavor and truffle. I am so impressed with this restaurant, it's been added to my list to come back!

    What a beautiful restaurant. From the quiet, jazz music, the amazing hostess and our server was amazing. Food came out. Well hot deliciously seasoned. The drinks were strong. The food was amazing. I highly recommend the short ribs. My husband's ribeye was perfection. I would've ate his as well. Definitely would love to visit again.

    I came with one of my girlfriends back in September 2024 just a causal, "Hey girl I'm hungry, haven't seen you in a while. Let's have dinner" Now I came here when it used to be BLT, as you can see it is now Fifth Fork. It was on a Sunday and there were only two other tables dining when we were. Karen was our waitress! She was divine and very knowledgeable. She clearly takes hospitality seriously and I recognize that. I did inquire about the change from BLT to 5th and Fork and she was able to provide me with an answer and what the new changes are and would be in the near future. I enjoyed ALL of my food, yum yum in my tums. My friend found the chicken to be a bit lackluster on her end. She only really had about two bites. I did let Karen know and she informed the manager Kevin about it. He was gracious to take it off the bill. I wasn't really expecting that, nonetheless, great client management skills. I had a typical steak, sides and glass of wine. We weren't ready to end our night. Since The Punch Room isn't open on Sundays, Karen suggested we mosey on over to The K Lounge to visit Jasmine the bartender. Head over to that on Yelp to see my review.

    The food here was delicious. The steak and scallops were cooked to the right temperature. The service was OK but management was excellent making sure to stop by the tables to see if everything was to our likings.

    it was very sad finding out BLT closed but we found the Fifth Fork opened in its place so we decided to give it a try. since we already had dinner, we just ordered their dessert at the bar. the host that night was super friendly and the whole atmosphere was very nice. we got the chocolate truffle cheesecake. it comes with candied hazelnuts and raspberry coulis. the presentation was beautiful and the taste itself was amazing! a good solid dessert.

    Fifth and Fork at the Ritz was an amazing experience. In the night that we attended the staff was fully engaged with us making amazing recommendations based on our likes. The drinks were mixed well and the ambiance was amazing for a date night or a night out with friends. The food was cooked to the perfect temperature and well balanced.

    The place is pricey and I was worried about the prices vs the quantity of food because most of the yelp reviews did not have pictures of their food. However, I was pleasantly surprised as the price matched the flavor, the service, and the amount of food! I was very indecisive because it was a very busy day but I wanted a good meal and my moneys worth. I can not remember my sever's name, but he suggested the scallops and the lobster Mac and cheese and I had more than enough food (enough for leftovers) and it tasted really good. I'm not a fan of Mac and cheese, but this lobster and Mac appeared to be a simple yet tasty dish. I was here on a Friday night and practically had the place to myself. The ambiance gives upscale date night. You can dress up or casually dress down. The restaurant is connected to the ritz Carlton but I did noticed an outside entrance where you can come directly to the restaurant without walking thru the hotel. I enjoyed my dinner and the lobster Mac is alone is a good enough reason to come back. Thanks for a great experience!

    Nothing bad to say about this spot. We ate there because it's inside the Ritz Carlton, where we were staying. I had the Carolina skillet and the steak was amazing!!!!!!! Super flavorful. My partner had the vegetarian skillet but vegan style (aka no egg or cheese), and add avocado. It's around $20 for a plate. The server was very pleasant, helped with all our needs. Overall it was a nice spot.

Our server, Thomas, was great and provided wonderful service throughout the evening. My friend had an extra dirty martini with blue cheese stuffed olives, and I had a Grey Goose Cosmopolitan. The drinks were excellent. For an appetizer, we had six raw oysters with a sweet honeydew and kiwi flavor. I usually prefer my oysters with cocktail sauce and horseradish, so this was something different for me, but I really enjoyed them. They had a really nice sweet and savory flavor. For dinner, my friend and I split the branzino, which was grilled with fresh herbs and was delicious. We also had the wood oven Brussels sprouts and the mac and cheese, and both were very good. Overall, the food, drinks, service, and atmosphere were all great. My girlfriend and I had the perfect girls' night out enjoying dinner, drinks, and catching up. I really enjoyed my experience at Supperland and would definitely recommend it.

We had a reservation for a Monday dinner on my husband's birthday, which happened to also be 1/2 priced wine day (glasses or bottles up to $40). Maybe it was because of the affordable wine or the World Cup on TV, but the place was surprisingly bumpin'. We came with our toddler, and the staff were super friendly with her. She really enjoyed snacking on the complimentary crackers and cheese spread. My husband and I decided to share the dinner special for 2, which is a 10 oz filet mignon, 2 lobster tails, and 4 sides for $178. A delicious splurge! For our sides, we chose a Caesar salad, cheesy fried potatoes, garlic mashed potatoes, and balsamic brussels sprouts. The steak was so tender and savory. Absolutely loved it. Definitely one of the best steaks I've had in the city! After our meal, our server brought a complimentary dessert, a layered mousse cake, served in a martini cake with a candle to celebrate my husband's birthday.

The steaks are always cooked to absolute perfection. The filet medallions are easily my favorite because they come served with three different, delicious toppings.

Unfortunately, this Restaurant Week visit was nothing like the Eddie V's I remembered. I dined solo at the bar and actually had to ask for the Restaurant Week menu. I chose the upgraded lobster bisque (+$5) and Chilean sea bass (+$10), looking forward to treating myself. I rarely splurge on a nice dinner, so this was something I had been excited about all day. The food was mixed. The lobster bisque was flavorful, although the amount of lobster was surprisingly small. The mashed potatoes were outstanding, and the asparagus was very good. The Chilean sea bass was cooked well but lacked seasoning and wasn't the memorable entrée I expected. The biggest disappointment, however, was the service. The restaurant was less than half full during my visit, so the extended delays were especially surprising. I waited an unusually long time for my entrée while guests who arrived after me were served first. Another surprise was that the only restroom I was directed to required going down to the basement, which was difficult with my mobility issues (I need my knee replaced). I would encourage the restaurant to make it clearer whether there is an accessible restroom available on the main floor, as this could be challenging for many guests. After another long wait for dessert, I asked to have my crème brûlée boxed because the delays meant I would now be walking back to my hotel after dark. I explained that I had intentionally walked there for exercise and had planned to walk back before dark. The response I received was simply, "Just call an Uber." That completely missed the point. I wasn't asking for transportation--I was explaining how the delays had changed my evening. To add to the confusion, I was given two desserts instead of the one I requested. While I appreciate the gesture if it was intended that way, it reinforced the feeling that no one was really listening. What disappointed me most wasn't simply the wait. It was the complete lack of service recovery. No sincere apology, no acknowledgment of how long I'd waited, and no effort to make the experience feel special. I've always thought of Eddie V's as one of Charlotte's premier dining experiences. That's exactly why this visit was so disappointing. I sincerely hope this was an isolated experience because I'd like to remember Eddie V's for the exceptional restaurant it has been in the past.
