Best Authentic Restaurants in University City

Great Asian Latin Fusion food -awesome drinks and the nicest staff in the CLT game-check them out!

To be honest we had a great time. But. Was saved by the manager. We booked weeks ago with a credit guarantee. The girl at the front was so rude. So much we about walked out. She could not find our reservation which we found eventually which had been cancelled somehow by the restaurant. Can’t explain. But. The manager sorted. She did everything she could to prevent us having a table. Now we have notification that reservation is complete ?? Anyhow. Food and service after her was tremendous as always. Really enjoyed it. Our waiter was awesome. So this is our normal Xmas day event. Hopefully again next year and in-between.

Our server Chris was amazing! He made Christmas Eve dinner special for us! The food was spectacular & delicious! Overall lovely evening, thank you!

I've been going to Dolce for 10 years, never had a bad meal or experience. Definitely two big thumbs up . Best Italian food in Charlotte

We found the Fug Tree on Open table and a travel blog recommendation and it was exactly what we were looking for! We had a fabulous time celebrating my daughter’s 23rd birthday trip from Los Angeles -- and met others celebrating their anniversaries. We shared 2 apps, a salad, 1 main, and ordered 3 drinks (2 different cocktails and a glass of wine) — and unfortunately didn’t have room for dessert which we were looking forward to — but they still brought some homemade chocolates on a plate inscribed Happy Birthday with a candle, which was lovely! The wait staff were very personable and took great care of us including splitting shared dishes without being asked. The cocktails were unique and yummy. The food was a fantastic mix of flavors and cooked to perfection. The house was tastefully decorated for the holidays. Compared to LA prices it was at least 50% less expensive than a similar experience — but we did tip a lot more than we usually would since service was fantastic and min wage in NC is about 1/4 of that in CA.
