He doesn't always finish his plate - this was perfect.,I had the brisket quesadillas - yummy, perfect for my appetite. My husband swiped one and was very impressed; Husband had the halibut and I had a bite (notice a trend, we share lol) and it was so buttery and good I may go that route next. Guiding us through this - perfectly - was Noah, our waiter. Look for him, he was awesome! They were closing early for the 4th but you wouldn't have known it with his excellent service and perfect timing. For dessert, the gentlemen had an extra drink and I had a crème brûlée that was brulèed dark, as I like it. Everyone oohed, and I loved every bite. Perfect meal for a family trying to make schedules match. Thanks, we'll be back!

This place is still nothing to write home about. Came here yesterday with a party of 11 others for…read morework. As we trickled in, we were told they wouldn't seat us until 6 of us arrived. No matter that the table was reserved and ready for us. We were told that we could order drinks at the bar. Yet they weren't sure they could transfer the tab to the table whenever they decided to seat us. I ordered the short ribs, which turned out to be nothing better than a tiny portion of what seemed to be pot roast. It was ok. Nothing stellar and certainly not worth the $32 price tag. Service was spotty especially with beverages. The highlight of the evening was the appetizers. Those were pretty good. Not coming back anytime soon. The value isn't there, seating procedures are atrocious, and service is mediocre.

First off, this is my go to for lunch…read more There is plenty of parking here. I've never had an issue getting a table Even at lunchtime. I normally make reservations just to be on the safe side. I prefer a booth and I normally am able to get one. The staff meeting you at the door are always nice and friendly. They will seat you immediately. the waitstaff here are pretty awesome. The scene here is a little dark and moody and this is what I love about this restaurant... Very Dramatic! Now Food ‼ So, if this is your first time and you want to keep it light, I highly recommend the cob salad! This is the best salad because of the homemade croutons! The serving is pretty large and the dressings our house made and every single one of them are great. My favorite would be the Thai dressing, if I had to pick. I've also tried the burger and it is extremely HUGE and flavorful. You may not be able to eat it all in one setting. I've also had the blackened salmon with the pasta and it was perfectly cooked. I get mine at medium rare. TIMING~ The servants come out pretty fast. By the time you've had your first drink the food is already coming out. This is my honest review as I have been coming here for the past decade and I've never had an issue. You will be pleased. This is also the perfect spot for a first date, business meeting, anniversary and also a birthday.. P.S. Another reason why I am drawn to this particular location, is that 131 Main has maintained a clean place to eat. My number one pet peeve is a messy bathroom. I have yet to find any issues with this restaurant. The bathrooms are always clean Everything is fully stocked and servers are Super attentive, so I will continue to come back.

Sometime all the stars align and you visit a restaurant that does everything well. Wow, yesterday…read morewas one of those days. So well done, in fact, that I'm nearly afraid to return. First, the place is bright and tastefully decorated. Our waiter, Ying, did a wonderful job not missing a beat. Our food came out at predictable intervals and each item was cooked perfectly. I mean exceptionally prepared with each tasting differently from the other. Too often flavors tend to muddle once you begin to mix entrees and mains. Not today! I asked Ying to compliment the chef. Whoever did the cooking was in the zone. Stellar. And rarely am I so effusive! I don't know if your experience will rival ours, but this visit had my "Give 'em a Whirl" meter twirling around the tables and shouting for joy. Support local. Go here.

Nonetheless, after reaching out to the restaurant and subsequently speaking to the GM, Krisztian Martin, about my experience he was very gracious and apogized for the meal and in the breakdown of our initial communication. I'm so happy he made this gesture because I do enjoy coming to location. Except for this one time the meal was off, the food is always amazing, the staff amazing, and the ambiance of the restaurant is amazing. Thank you, Krisztian Martin, for re-affirming that Burton's still remains in my Top 3 restaurants to dine. Now if y'all can bring back the yummy calamari to the appetizer menu--great!

She is easy to talk with, helpful, courteous and great at multitasking. If hospitality was my line of business, she undoubtedly would be the manager of my establishment.

First appearance is the roll looks a bit small but it was very good. The roll was soft, full of lobster so not bad at all. The fries were seasoned well and not over seasoned so big win there.

Eager to order, I tried ordering on their website...then I tried calling in an order. I learned that during peak hours, they shell out all their attention to in-house diners, leaving digital hopefuls like me high and dry. The sandwich shop was small and it had some outside seating. The service was indeed slow, but the food was excellent. If you're expecting a humongous lobster roll, think again. Their lobster rolls were the same time as most...which means they weren't large at all. But the ingredients were quality. When in the mood for lobster rolls, I'll return.

Excellent Cuban restaurant in the Ballantyne area. They have specials every day. On the day I went,…read morethe mixed drinks were half price. I ordered a couple variations of Mojitos and they were outstanding! The waitress also told me that they have a sangria special and a wine special day. I have spent quite a bit of time in the Tampa area, which has a very large Cuban population so I am very familiar with Cuban food and the way it's supposed to be. Well, let me tell you, this place doesn't disappoint! I haven't had Picadio in years so I ordered that and it was delicious! Their Ropa Vieja is very authentic as well. What's really amazing is that they have a lunch menu that they serve until 3 PM. The prices are great especially for lunch! The atmosphere feels authentic with giant murals, old photos and a huge Cuban Flag painted on looks to be driftwood. The place also has an authentic Cabana feel to it. Overall, I consider this the best Cuban restaurant in the entire Charlotte Metro Area! Cheers!

Sometimes you walk into a Cuban spot and you're just hoping it feels like abuela's kitchen... and…read moreAzucar Cuban Restaurant gets pretty close. Started off with the sopa de pollo, and yeah... that's the kind of soup that doesn't just warm you up--it resets your whole mood. Rich, comforting, and tasted like it's been simmering with purpose all day. Then came the masa de puerco... crispy, juicy, and seasoned the way it should be. No shortcuts, no playing around--just straight-up authentic flavor. You can tell they respect the roots here. The vibe? Clean, welcoming, no frills--just letting the food do the talking. Now... full transparency--I'm very picky with Cuban food. When you grow up on homemade, you carry that standard forever. And let's be real... nothing--and I mean nothing--touches my mom's cooking. But Azucar? They earned their respect. Solid spot when you need that Cuban fix in this area.
