Best Open Kitchen Restaurants in Uptown

Great service. We loved the bread service and orecchiette with short rib which was very shareable as a main course. The tuda crudo appetizer was also very good. Our waiter gave us a good wine recommendation

Don't hesitate to book a reservation here. This place is outstanding.

The food was amazing. We were celebrating my boyfriend’s birthday and they gave him a birthday gift and they gave said a free dessert and a free side of potatoes. The service was great and it was a very romantic place to have dinner. We will definitely be coming back.

My husband and I recently enjoyed an anniversary dinner at Stoke in the Charlotte Marriott City Center. We had an amazing evening filled with great food and personalized service. Our server Emily was outstanding. She is super knowledgeable about the items on the menu, describing them in detail and offering recommendations. We started with a Pretzel Brioche bread served with three curated butters. My favorite was the butter infused with Monk Mustard although the honey and Cheerwine flavors were close seconds. We each choose the NY strip steak as an entrée and paired them with sharable sides of Mac & Cheese and Salad. Our steaks were full flavored and cooked to perfection. The mac & cheese was a tasty blend of two cheeses with a hint of Chile spice. For dessert we enjoyed “The Donut”, a huge donut filled with diplomat cream and topped with heath bar crumble. Bring friends to eat this or take the leftovers home like we did. The Food and Beverage Manager, Michael, stopped by to check on us several times during the evening. He is an experienced manager who made sure all the guests’ needs were met, and his staff was supported. A special thank you to Chef Ericka and her team for preparing such delicious food. Ericka even took time to leave the kitchen and speak with us. We highly recommend Stoke and look forward to returning to enjoy food, drink and our new friends Emily, Michael and Ericka.

Great service all around and it’s a cute little spot in LoSo. The atmosphere is perfect for a date night, wine night with friends, or just to have pasta you wouldn’t cook at home. The bruschetta and shrimp fettuccine were great! My wife’s Cavatelli was a tad bit salty but overall we’d go back to try the other dishes, especially the pizza!
