Best Restaurants with Bar Seating in Charlotte

Staff is so friendly and warming. Loved the ambiance. Mikey was knowledgeable and fun. Would return.

I don’t usually write reviews, but my experience at La Belle Helene was truly exceptional—easily one of the best French dining experiences I’ve ever had. I came here to celebrate my birthday, and we ran into a little hiccup with our reservation being booked for two instead of four. Despite it being an incredibly busy evening, the staff went above and beyond to accommodate us. They welcomed us warmly, asked us to wait briefly at the bar, and then found us a perfect spot to enjoy an amazing meal. The service was impeccable, and the food was outstanding! Everything on the menu is a win, but I highly recommend asking for the dessert of the day—it’s the perfect way to end a meal. Thank you to the team at La Belle Helene for making my birthday so memorable. Five stars all around, especially for the incredible service! I can’t wait to come back!

We had a great time. The place is beautiful, environment lively. We often had to flag down servers for an order or bill, but they were kind and friendly when they were there. Highly recommend.

Food was superb and dining room was cozy with intimate feel but lit just enough to also lend a lively vibe. Robyn the GM provided a great welcome, and our server Eddy was one of the best in the industry. Kudos to all of the staff. Their wine list is extensive including not on theirs, but Aria restaurant next door. Only one tip: stress if you want your tapas (small plates) delivered in stages. We asked that they be staggered since we ordered a bottle of wine; however, all three arrived at once. Fortunately, we were enjoying the food and drink and ordered more but all small plates shouldn’t arrive at one time. Awesome evening and we would go many times over!

everyone was very nice and attentive. jackie at the bar was amazing made the experience very nice
