Trio has been in Charlotte ever since I can remember. It is a place that the locals seem to love. I've been here on an off in the past several years but only learning again to appreciate their food.
We started coming here for lunch for a change from the usual options. The place gets busy so if you hit it around lunchtime, your best option may be to wait until after 12:45 when it clears out a little.
The menu is very diverse and includes pizza, salads, sandwiches and various entrees. I typically order something healthy here and love, love, love their Southwestern Salmon salad. which comes with a salmon filet over a bed of romaine, jicama, corn, peppers and a couple of other ingredients with a spicy vinagrette dressing. Very tasty.
Service is usually good here. Host and Hostess are very friendly.
And the layout of the is restaurant is very unique. There's a pizza counter in the back where you can sit and watch them make pizzas, there's a bar in the back., Everything is broken into about 3 cascading levels. The lowest level is typically used for larger groups.
Definitely one of my favorite lunch spots. One day I may have to check it out for dinner.
