It was the most delightful evening out with friends from the moment we walked in the door. Every single person that worked that was very friendly and accommodating throughout our lovely dinner. All of the food was exceptionally good and the banana foster for dessert was delectable. LOVE, LOVE, LOVE this place.

I had made reservations for two at 1:45 on Christmas Day but my plans fell through. I called to see if we could come at 11:45 and it would be 4 instead of two! There was absolutely no problem changing the reservation and we had a great time-Good friends and great food! Thank you! And Merry Christmas!

Just the 2 of us dined at Sullivas for Christmad lunch. We both ordered filet mignon steaks, which were delicious. These were the best steaks we’ve had in years. The asparagus was perfectly cooked and seasoned. We also loved the loaded baked potato. Our reservation was at 12:15 and we were seated promptly. We were finished in an hour for our relaxing experience even though restaurant was packed. Checking out was quick and easy which does not happen in a lot of other Charlotte restaurants. The guy in the red jacket turned on the TV behind us to a pretty fireplace scene I was really glad there was no TVs showing sports or news channels.
