Uptown Charlotte Restaurants

Excellent service, delicious food and festive atmosphere

Had a wonderful dinner at Sea Grill Restaurant to celebrate my dad’s birthday! The ambiance was beautiful - very classy and elegant! They really amped up the “ocean” vibes throughout the restaurant. They have an upstairs and a downstairs. We were seated downstairs near the bar, but the noise level was perfect for our party of 6. Upstairs it was much more lively, but still very nice. The service was top notch. They knew we were celebrating a birthday, and our initial interaction with our waitress was when she brought complimentary champagne to the table and a birthday card (so nice!). Cassandra was very attentive throughout the meal and made the experience even more pleasant. Overall, the food was very good! Of the appetizers we ordered, our favorites were the crab croquettes and grilled octopus. The baked oysters were take it or leave it for us - the oysters were almost nonexistent. For the main courses, we did the beef Wellington (great!), salt-baked branzino for two (so good!), and the lamb chops (stellar!), along with asparagus, seasonal vegetables, and parsley risotto. My dad received a complimentary tiramisu for his dessert (not a fan). We also ordered the crème brûlée (pretty good), pear carpaccio (not bad), and the velvet passion (our favorite!). The center has valet parking or you can self-park. Also, special shoutout to Raven - she also was a memorable part of our experience! We had a great experience and we look forward to returning!

I shared a meal with a few friends and we enjoyed everything that was placed before us. The drinks, appetizer and our entrees were splendid. To dine at a restaurant with no seasoning on the table is unheard of and none was required!!! Our food was seasoned to our liking. To the owner WELL DONE and a kiss and hats off to the chef and staff.

We enjoyed another excellent dining experience at Rooster's. Delicious food, wonderful drinks and lovely ambience. We were thrilled to have Owen as our server again. He made an already thoroughly enjoyable evening even better. Please let him know how much we appreciated his kindness.

Continue to return with others because the experience is always very pleasant and the food is excellent. Nice sized portions as well.
