Best Cozy Restaurants in SouthPark

It was a Sunday night before Christmas, the Carolina Panthers had home game so there was an influx of customers. I had reservations and as busy as it seemed I was seated 15 mins before my reservation time. The staff and management know how to move a large crowd through the restaurant. The wait staff was always checking in on us, the time for our meals to arrive was very quick. Hats off to Maggiano's at South Park.

This was our first visit to Peppervine, and we will certainly be returning. The ambiance is lovely and classy. We were seated in a cozy corner half-booth, and the noise level was perfect for having a conversation. Hope, our server, was attentive and helpful throughout the meal. Cocktails: The Misty Eyed Margarita and the Wild Maple Old-Fashioned were both flavorful and well-crafted. Appetizers: The yeast rolls were warm and delicious. The burrata was also tasty, but at $28 for a small portion, it felt overpriced, especially since it wasn’t served with bread until I requested it. Entrées: While the pasta portions were on the smaller side, everything was expertly prepared and full of flavor. We tried the Bison Bolognese, Mushroom Agnolotti, and Szechuan Beef Bowl - all with thoughtful and deep flavor profiles. Dessert: We ended with the Cranberry Orange Zeppole Donuts, which were very good and a delightful way to finish the meal. Overall, it was a great experience, and we look forward to returning.

We had an incredible experience at the Oak Steakhouse. The accommodations made for our delayed arrival and to sit at our favorite table were all met. Everyone was extremely attentive and friendly. We were treated like regulars. The food was delicious. The drinks were well made and all of our requests were met. The restaurant is beautiful and welcoming but elegant. Our server was Aaron and did a great job making sure we had everything we needed. Our experience was perfection. Any room for improvement could only be made on the dessert me in options. But the food, service, ambiance was all incredible.

I had lunch at Napa Providence with a friend, and it was such a nice vibe. We sat out on the heated patio—such a great idea, especially when it’s chilly out. It felt super cozy, and we didn’t want to leave. Our server, Nick, was awesome. He was really on top of things, super helpful, and didn’t make us feel rushed at all—even though we ended up hanging out for a couple of hours just chatting. The food? So good. We both had the Napa salad, which is always light and fresh, and I couldn’t skip the French onion soup. It’s seriously become one of my go-tos. Perfect little bite when you’re not starving but want something warm and comforting.

Went on a two for $20 Tuesday but to our surprise, it ended this week. Not indicated on Instagram or any other social media about the change. Nonetheless we ordered some outstanding entrees and craft cocktails and this place did not disappoint. Love love love this place and we will be back
