    I really enjoyed the service and the food. The fried catfish, mac and cheese were really good. My homegirl got the black eye peas and she said that were really good as well. Drinks are high however that's expected for the area it is in. Dennis my server was really knowledgeable about the menu and what to try.

    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.
