"Very disappointed in the overall service and food. We were seated for 20 minutes and never did have a wait person come to acknowledge us. I had to go up and let the hostess know we still had not been waited on and asked her to send someone over to our table. Finally someone came to take our order but from the time we were seated it took 30 minutes just to get our drink and food order and we ended up with another server after our order was taken. Our drinks and food did come out in a timely fashion however the fried seafood platter was way over cooked and the stuffed shrimp was extremely salty. On a good note the pecan crusted salmon was good, albeit pricey. After we were finished, it took a very long time to get our bill and then for the waitress to get us paid out. I did not like your tipping system at all, having the wait person bring a computer tablet to you, after receiving your paper receipt, then asking what percentage you want to tip. If you didn't select one fast enough it timed out so she had to bring out another hand held device asking me to type in the dollar amount I wanted to tip. Customers should not be put on the spot about tipping. I have always been a good tipper but for me, it should be reflective of the overall service, quality of food and price to determine the amount of tip to include on the food receipt that is brought to us, not on a computerized tablet brought out by your wait person, asking you to pick a tip percentage. Though I was only going to give a 1 star rating, I chose 2 because once we did get the wait person assigned to our table, she did her best but it was obvious she has not been well trained on how to wait tables. It seemed like she was all over the floor serving customers, not allowing her to efficiently serve her customers. I understand that it is the busy season, but in summary, we had a very dissatisfied evening with service, food and pricing as we were there to celebrate our granddaughters 21st birthday. I hope things improve at your establishment as we have been there several times but your current operation and food preparation are not reflective of the better times that we have been there in the past."

"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."
