Restaurants near Mcdowell Park

The food was good, well seasoned. Sizable portions. The sides were good ( Mac & cheese, mashed potatoes & gravy), collards, broccolini, corn bread. The fried chicken & braised short ribs reminded me of my mother’s home cooking. Thanksgiving meal did not disappoint. Asia M our server and everyone made you feel welcome.

My husband and I went to Drift for Thanksgiving. The set menu was great. We both opted for the turkey with all the fixings. It was delicious. The starter of burrata and arugula salad was dry- no dressing, which was odd. The cranberry cheesecake was very good. We travel from Lake Norman to this gem because of the view, food and service. We have never been disappointed.

Like all restaurants the noise level was high at lunch. There were only two of us. But the service was excellent as well as the service. My friend’s favorite was the cauliflower appetizer and I loved the loaded baked potato as well as the special chili. A highlight was crème brûlée that was a surprise birthday dessert! I have to say I can’t wait for the weather to permit eating out on the patio. Hope I don’t have to wait too long till spring! But I will definitely be back!

Very hard to get a rez but good was excellent. Lasagna was fantastic and very different, using white sauce and rib meat. Pizza very good along with bouillabaisse. Fresh pasta. Make sure to ask which sauce is spicy though.

Tried this place for the first time as part of the YOCO Taste Trail and it was absolutely fantastic! The staff was so nice, the food was delicious, and the portion sizes were perfect. There’s nothing worse than going to a restaurant and getting huge portions, so I really appreciated it. Would definitely come back again and recommend to others. BONUS: They are open on Mondays.
