Best Kid Friendly Restaurants in Matthews

My wife and I first ate at Maggiano’s three weeks ago and just had to come back. Outstanding overall experience. The food and service are second to none. We had Chicken Marsala, Grilled Salmon w/Lemon and Herbs, and the Warm Apple Crustado for dessert! You won’t be disappointed if you go for a meal!

The ambience was very nice with great warm, lighting. Service was great food was cooked perfectly. Only issue was the music was very loud made it hard to talk with somebody across the table. 

My gf and I got the valentine’s day experience, which was a three course, fixed price dinner option. We both got different things and shared, for a total of 6 dishes and 2 different wines. Literally everything was phenomenal, I’ve been to multiple high end restaurants in my life, including those with Michelin stars, and this was perhaps the best dinner I’ve ever had. Our server, wish I could remember his name, was super charismatic and funny but also incredibly attentive, a real professional. My only singular complaint was the noise level, but that’s mostly because we had an obnoxiously loud party next to us, it was tough to talk with them around but once they wrapped up and left, which was unfortunately at the dessert course, the atmosphere was perfect. Still, we both would rate this a 10/10 experience, I really wasn’t expecting it to be good, I went in with low expectations because most restaurants in Charlotte are middling, but this place is one of the very few worth revisiting.

My wife and I have made The Melting Pot our Valentine’s Day tradition. We absolutely love the set menu and the quality of the food. We look forward to this meal every year!

Our waiter, Jake was wonderful. And the young lady who was the hostess was wonderful as well.
