    Food as always was excellent. The Halibut was cooked perfectly and my collard greens were very flavorful. The roasted Chicken entree and the Mac and Cheese were also very good. The service was excellent and very attentive. A really nice neighborhood restaurant.

    Jule (or Jewel?) was our server & efficient & friendly! We really appreciated her attentiveness g pleasant demeanor during a busy Valentine's lunch! The restaurant is beautiful and we had a bright day to enjoy the light. The classic decor and chandeliers, tables, the fountain... everything makes this restaurant special. Even the sales staff for the furniture store were so friendly and welcoming as we came in! The sommelier was very helpful & the Executive Chef came through and definitely sold us on the creme brulee with the house made caramel! The food was delicious and we enjoyed our time with RH rooftop and staff. Thank you!

    We have previously dined at other Roosters locations in Charlotte, but this was our first time at this new Ballantyne location. The food was very good as we expected based on our visits to other Roosters locations. The atmosphere is nice - modern, open, clean. We were there for Valentine's Day lunch on a Friday - I'm glad we made reservations because almost every table was filled (it was more crowded than I was expecting for lunch time). That being said, there was enough space between tables that we did not feel crowded or cramped; there was some energetic noise but it wasn't too loud (we could easily hear each other talking at our table). The service was friendly and good, although it was slightly slower than expected which I can understand based on the large crowd of people who entered shortly after we arrived (the waitress was busy!). I would recommend it and will be back again in the future - I'm glad Roosters now has a Ballantyne location much closer to my home and that it's as good as I hoped it would be!
