Always a great dinner and good time when we visit! Meredith was fantastic:) if possible could we request her when dining - everyone is always going the extra mile but Meredith really made us feel “at home” :)

Celebrated our 24th wedding anniversary!! Had added in the reservation our wedding date and our table had a Happy Anniversary sign surrounded by rose petals. ♥️ ALL of the staff that walked by and interacted with us were intentional with acknowledging our Anniversary. And our waitress Gracie, hands down THE BEST!!! For desert, we had cheesecake brûlée, whip cream and Happy Anniversary written in chocolate syrup!! The food was AMAZING!! Hubbie had honey glazed chicken with au gratin potatoes and asparagus. Divine!! I had the chile-crusted ribeye with the cheesy potato soup. Chef’s Kiss. THANK YOU to the wonderfully kind and thoughtful staff. We will see you soon Gracie♥️♥️

Our dining experience at Drift was great! The environment was very lovely and energetic. The food portions were great and it helped that we had an awesome server by the name of Jerimiah. He was very knowledgeable of the menu and made great suggestions. We also enjoyed his signature drink! We will definitely be back once the weather gets better so we can enjoy the outside water view! Much success to this establishment:)

For Valentines, I wanted to do something outside of our usual routine. I had heard of Barristers and was like yep let’s drive to Gastonia! When we first walked into the hotel section, it seemed a little seedy(we saw some interesting folks walking into the hotel) but when walking into the actual restaurant the ambiance was incredible. Alyssa our server was extremely attentive to my multiple food allergies, and made great recommendations based on that, and I ordered items I might not have otherwise. The baked Brie was SO SO GOOD, and my boyfriend loved his swordfish. He is a little picky when it comes to restaurants and said he would actually want to drive all the way out there and come back. That is a really high vote from him! Would love to come back when it’s warmer and not raining, as it looked like they had a really pretty back deck area as well.

I took my wife here for Valentine's Day. This was our first time eating here. We had never even seen the building before. The plans I had made feel through just a few days before so I scoured OpenTable looking for another option for dinner. Valentine's Day was a week away so most everything was booked but Constantine's had an opening for an early dinner. My wife doesn't like to eat late anyway so I accepted. I know Gastonia area quite well but had never even heard of Constantine's before so I wasn't confident in my choice and almost canceled multiple times. Luckily, my wife and I are more about adventure and experience than location, luxury etc. I'm so glad I didn't cancel. We were both so impressed by the whole experience! The service was excellent and the food was wonderful! We had no complaints about anything. My wife always leave every restaurant with a doggie bag, but not here. She ate all but one bit that she gave to me to sample her dish. We sadly didn't get to try to dessert (we were too full) but we are planning on returning next week to share a meal and an appetizer so that we aren't too full for desserts. Prices were very reasonable, especially for the quality of food and presentation. I enjoy Mediterranean cuisine but it's not my personal favorite. But with that said, Constantine's might be my favorite restaurant in all of Gastonia area. We highly recommend!!
