"our dining room experience was exceptional. we had a wonderful waiter. eating was excellent and the ambiente was perfect. our meal for the three of us with the tipp was just over $500. my only complaining is that I am there about 20 minutes early and after check-in with the host I asked if I could go into the bar and get a drink and she said yes. I went into the bar, there were two empty places. I sat on one of the stools and ordered a drink. the bartender was very friendly and nice. Before my drink was delivered, another host came up and asked me if I had set myself and had reservations for the bar? I was surprised because I never heard of this. She told me I had to go. I was insulted and uncomfortable. I asked her what I should do with the drink I had just paid for, and she said I could sit in a small chair in the corner next to the bar or I could wait in the lobby. first I sat in the small stool in the corner and felt very uncomfortable and awkward, especially when I saw others sitting in the load that I had just occupied while loading right next. it remained empty for the better part of 10 minutes. I finally moved into the lobby area with my drink and waited for my guests. Bar seats should come first served and they should never leave a dame after they order a drink and pay for it. I mean, I checked at the Hostess booth and was told I could go into the bar and get a drink. I should've asked if I could have a bar stool to go with my drink."

"Went here after we ditched our 2.5 hour reservation at Hillstone (no restaurant is good enough to wait that long). I enjoyed the fried calamari and their very fresh hot out-of-the-oven dinner rolls (my favorite so far from all restaurant-served breads). Mysister?s boyfriend really enjoyed his Parmesan chicken and my sister regrettably didn?t get to enjoy her lobster ravioli since amiscommunication of sharing dishes led her to order a simple pasta dish instead. I enjoyed my sea bass although I wish theportions were bigger and my mom had her usual seafood pasta. Dessert was a disappointment for me since I was recommended toorder the ice cream. The description seemed fun but it ended up being was vanilla- chocolate ice cream with a cherry centerdipped in a chocolate shell. It was visually pleasing but the ice cream was not that great. Publix had smoother ice cream thanthis. Waitstaff was good and seating was only ok (due to the pandemic, many restaurants have seating on the sidewalk but I don?tenjoy eating next to valet parked cars and their corresponding car fumes. My sister ordered the nonna cake which ended up beingsimilar to a key lime pie. She and her boyfriend enjoyed the tart dessert. Over all it was a pleasant experience. Might comeback to try those lobster raviolis next time. By the way, they take reservations, that is how we were able to get seated withinthe 15 minutes it took to walk there from Hillstone."

"A couple weeks ago I headed to Stoke for some cocktails with a few coworkers. This was the first time any of us had been and we were pleasantly surprised. We learned that the establishment places a large emphasis on being a part of the community by using local ingredients and serving products from the surrounding area. Stoke offers many of the Charlotte and North Carolina beers which placed the state on the craft brewery map. Some of the beers on tap include NoDa Brewing Company, Wooden Robot Brewery, Triple C Brewing Co. and Wicked Weed Brewing. They also have a great list of unique craft cocktails. Many of the cocktails on their menu are old classics with a twist. We learned that one of these concoctions, The Uptown Sour, intrigued a Marriott executive so much that he jumped on a plane so he could try it for himself! The desire to use local ingredients can also be seen in their food. We had a few of their appetizers (pretzel brioche, beef bone marrow, crispy oysters) which were all amazing. We could tell that this group understands the importance of top notch service when the Director of Eat Drink, Sean Potter, delivered our appetizers to our table providing us with an informative description of the ingredients and preparation techniques. The staff was friendly, helpful and attentive. I loved Stoke's open kitchen design which compliments the modern yet welcoming atmosphere very well. Although the restaurant is located within the Charlotte Marriott City Center, this is definitely not your average hotel restaurant. Chef Chris Coleman is doing a fantastic job which has created national attention. Stoke was listed on USA Today's Top 20 Restaurants to Try This Fall (2016) and that's a well-deserved accolade. You should definitely add Stoke to your must try list in Charlotte."

"We had experienced C-Level a few times and always enjoyed it; so, for my birthday, we thought about giving the fine dining side a try. Sadly, our experience was bittersweet. We each started off with a cocktail which we all enjoyed. Bandito Ahumado, Seafoam Highball and Ticket to Paradise: all delicious We began with the crab cakes to share, the flavor was very good, but the crab got lost among all the breadcrumbs. There was a nice little kick of spice from the old bay aioli. We each ordered a petite filet, and at $56, our steaks were severely over done. I ordered mine medium which came out medium-well borderline well-done , my Dad ordered medium-well and there wasn't an ounce of pink left, it was dry and tough; very disappointing for the price. My mom had the local catch which we enjoyed more than the steaks. We ordered a couple sides, grilled asparagus, which might have been the best thing of the night ! , and the bacon Mac n cheese which was good, but very rich. The restaurant was very kind to bring a complimentary slice of flourless chocolate cake in celebration. The service was mediocre. Don't get me wrong, our server was very nice, but just not as attentive as we had hoped. Our empty cocktail glasses sat on the end of our table all night. Our server never returned to our table to ensure that we were satisfied with our meal, but proceeded to fill our empty cocktail glasses with water once our meal was finished. Quite frankly, the best service we had was from the gentleman that kept our actual water glasses filled throughout the night. The atmosphere and the skyline view across the bay really make this place special, just for the ambiance."
