My fiancé and I parked in the accompanying shopping center and sat down for a delicious and refreshing wine flight. We are now enjoying our favorites in a glass paired with the Spinach Artichoke Chicken flatbread. (would recommend with a light red) Aaron, our master server, has been so attentive and helpful with the menu. Nothing like a beautiful Alfresco table with excellent wine and snacks to help us feel a little spoiled as we enter the weekend. Thanks Vin Master. We will be back!!

Perfect place to grab a pre-meal drink if you're early to dinner at either spot. The atmosphere is great. Relaxed, sports usually on the TV and good music. Service is great as well! The wine list is extensive with your usual favorites, but unique ones from places like Romania. The food is good too. They do not skimp on the charcuterie, loads of food! The flatbread is very simple and light. Do not expect to be full after eating just one.

The wine offering is expansive and the staff is incredibly helpful with assisting with suggestions. On top of the wine, don't skip the food offerings.

I will start by saying that the wines by the glass here are very overpriced, so next time I come,…read moreI'll def just buy a bottle. I'm a champagne lover so I grabbed the "cheapest" one by the glass (which is still over $20), but it was awful - it was very chardonnay based, which I abhor. I couldn't drink more than a few sips of it before I gave up and ordered the next step up of their wine by the glass. I was totally prepared to pay for both glasses, but my server was super kind and noticed that I ignored the first glass and ended up taking it off my bill which was very kind and I appreciated a lot (it's what made me want to come back). My sis and I also ordered some cheese and charcuterie, which was yummy, but I'll admit they could use adding some jam and mustard (maybe a fruit) to the board to make it a little less dry. We still ate most of it though! Ambiance was really nice as they weren't super packed when we went. It was fairly quiet people wise, though they do play their 90s r&b a bit loud. Our server the entire time was also really great. Very kind, attentive, and again I super appreciated that he saw that I wasn't a fan of my first wine. Next time, I'll be sure to grab a bottle, not any wine by the glass. I'd recommend the same for anyone else coming here given the prices of wine by the glass here!

Merchant & Trade is worth visiting for the views alone, but the food definitely holds its own. The…read morerooftop overlooking Uptown Charlotte is stunning, especially around sunset. I tried caviar for the first time... the jury's still out on that one. But the Caesar Brussels, pork belly, and jerk tacos? Chef's kiss! The only thing that kept this from being a true 10/10 experience was the arrival process. We were told they don't take reservations and to simply find a seat. After walking the entire rooftop, every available table had a "Reserved" sign on it. I finally stopped a staff member to ask how reservations worked, and he kindly walked us back to the hostess, who then added our name to the seating list. We were seated within about 10 minutes, so I wish that had been explained from the start. The other minor issue was the flooring in certain areas of the rooftop, which felt a bit unstable. With a smoother seating process and a little attention to the flooring, this place would be nearly perfect. I'd absolutely visit again for the views, the atmosphere, and those incredible bites.

This such a vibey place! It's located on the 19th or 20th floor of a hotel- I walked right in and…read morewas able to sit at the bar. However, if you want a table you should make a reservation as there were many empty tables but the hostess said everything was booked. There is open seating around the bar area and on the side (you have to walk behind the area) to know it's there or you won't see it! The food was just okay, I mainly went here to get the lobster pasta and I would give it a 7/10 flavor was bland but everything was cooked well. The edamame hummus was definitely the best thing I ordered per the bartender's recommendation. I closed my tab and was waiting for my food. Once I got my food the bartender only checked on me one time which I thought was a little odd given I was there for quite a few hours. I would go here for the vibes and drinks. Count the food out.

The dishes here are remarkable -- from the savory baked feta with its accompanying Verdant sourdough bread and the ricotta cavatelli to the delicious desserts. We had the orange olive oil cake and I enjoyed a glass of Cabernet Sauvignon, along with fabulous service. Our cups flowed with water and we wanted for nothing. You can enjoy patio seating or dine inside. As with nice spring days in Charlotte, we chose the patio and it was lovely to sip and snack in such a special space.

Yesterday I…read morefinally got to come by during the day with my friend and we tried some of their small bites along with our bottle of rose we picked from the wine selection wall. All of the snack were delish and the bartenders even gave us some nuts on the house to try. Not pictured was the extra side of sourdough we ordered and it was fabulous! I love the atmosphere of the wine bar and the patio is adorable. Service is always so quick and the bartenders are super friendly. I definitely want to come back for dinner next time to try some of their larger plates. Found out that this is a sister restaurant to the Michelin rated restaurant in Charlotte so that's pretty cool too!!

I could see myself coming back for another date night, meeting up with a friend or even a slightly nicer option for after the mall (they also had tv's at the bar). I will be coming back and definitely want to try their food.
