I came here recently based on the other 5-star reviews seeking something that has been lacking in the Charlotte restaurant scene. Originally a Richmond native, we had been missing the great local restaurants that we had been used to. To me, Belle Grille wasn't all that it was made out to be. It's casual dining down to the paper napkins and the taste. I ordered the tilapia Alfredo for a main and the firecracker shrimp as an app. The tilapia had been seared a little too long on the grill leaving a burn taste all around. The firecracker shrimp had me thinking of a bang bang shrimp like item, but it was only fried shrimp with a spicy mayonnaise dip. No real beer selection other than miller and bud lite is what I was told. Overall, the restaurant has a nice ambiance and atmosphere, but the taste did not deliver as I had hoped.
