Best Live Music Restaurants in University City

1st time trying this spot after seeing it on a list of top 50 restaurants in Charlotte. The ceviche was spectacular and closest to anywhere in the states to what I had in Lima. Tostados de chorizo was another hit. Also had Arroz Frito and Short Rib entrees shared with a friend. Tremendous flavor is coming out of the kitchen. The front of the house team was friendly, interactive, and attentive. Will def be back!!

This was a special dinner with my family in town, so we wanted to take them to one of our favorite restaurants. Our server Cindy was so kind, personable, and attentive! She truly made the whole experience so special. All of the food was delicious, especially the Moroccan pie and the beef cheeks, and it arrived promptly -- we were never kept waiting. The intimate atmosphere and elegant decor of Mariposa are two of the biggest draws for us. We'll be back the next time we feel like getting fancy and celebrating.

Fantastic as always! Omelette’s are amazing! Ok, SO, HOW. Do they make those??!! Our friends were truly impressed and will certainly be back! Every member of the Stir Team are so wonderful and the service quality shines through their cheerful and GENUINE dispositions! Stir is, without question, unique and such a great addition to all that Charlotte has to offer. OH.. definitely make reservations! Particularly when the Panthers are playing and wear your favorite jersey!! Wow! So much fun and it is so nice to see families, dates, everyone just simply having a good time ., enjoying great food, superb service, fabulous drinks and of course jazz during Sunday Brunch!!

Staff was great. Truly great. The rooms are a little loud when multiple tables are set. The outside area looked very nice. The appetizers and salads were extremely good. We ordered the shrimp and grits and the burger with fries. The shrimp and grits were OK at best. We only ate half of the burgers. The fries were on point.

We were a little stressed about the parking situation so when we inquired with the staff at the lobby they offered complimentary valet for up to 3 hrs which was a relief with a toddler. Our food was very tasty and better than I anticipated from the Google reviews - you deserve much higher. We will definitely return the next time we're in the area.
