Our wait staff was friendly, quick, accommodating, and very respectful of the fact we had a small child. I didn’t have to ask for my daughter’s food to come out early the waitress had already planned it out to perfection. We enjoy spending special occasions at this place.

We had an amazing time at the Stonecrest location. Love the decor and new redesign. Food was outstanding and I appreciate that they have taken the time to develop a thoughtful second menu with delectable gluten-free and vegan options. Probably the best in Charlotte. The staff was attentive and the service was great. This is now our new favorite.

Had a great visit to Rooster's Ballantyne. We were glad to try this out as we really like the South Park location. We were not disappointed. The restaurant is very nice, but comfortable. The food was excellent. We went in on their brunch menu and it was very thorough with lots of options. The serving sizes were very generous. The parking at the Ballantyne Bowl can be a bit tricky, but was not too bad. We are excited to have Roosters close by and will plan to be back frequently.
