| - Frequently cited as Charlotte's Most Romantic Restaurant, Barrington's has one of the smallest and most intimate settings in the Queen City. With only a handful of tables and a small bar, you and your date will feel like you're the only people in the place, and that's a big part of the charm. The service is excellent and the food delicious -- although not quite as good as I had hoped.
My wife ordered the Salmon, which we both agreed was a bit dry and overcooked. My order of Gnocchi was excellent, covered in a succulent sauce and as flavorful as any pasta dish I've tried. The wine selection was outstanding, but the beer selection is sorely lacking, with just a few macrobrews and one local craft available by the bottle. After dinner, we shared a sumptuous slice of chocolate cake, although the dessert menu on the whole was regrettably limited.
I'd definitely give Barrington's another try, but for the price, it didn't impress nearly as much as we had expected. It certainly has one of the best vibes in Charlotte, and is a great place to show off on a date. But for my money, there are better restaurants in the Queen City.
