  • My lady and I decided to jump in to restaurant week head first with a much anticipated visit to 131 Main in the Blakeney area off Rea Rd. Not necessarily an easy find off the main road as it's a standalone building right beside a rather large shopping complex, but it is a good looking location nonetheless with spacious seating both indoors and out. We already had reservations for 5:30pm on a Sunday evening (right in the middle of conference championship Sunday in the NFL, talk about sacrifice LoL) so we got in at a great time as it was much lighter volume of folks when we got there than when we left. The mood was intimate, adult atmosphere one suitable for a date. We started off with one lady waitress who took our drink order and broke down the menu but then she vanished and we magically got a male waitress for the remainder of our experience which a little odd but not off putting as they both were very attentive to our needs. I've participated in restaurant week in Charlotte many times over the years because it can be a great way to eat fancy while maximizing your wallet. My only fear is that some establishments seem to use it as an excuse to offer scaled back, sub-par portions and\or quality for their offerings on special. Saying that, I'm pleased to report that 131 main did not fall into this trap. Their special for the week included a glass of wine (red or white) so we both got white which turned out to be a semi sweet pinot grigio which paired very well with the entrees on the list. For appetizers we elected to grab the double dip chips (guacamole\cheese dip combo with a side of salsa and fresh tortilla chips) and deviled eggs. Those two items along nearly spoiled my appetite splitting up 4 jumbo eggs and hearty basket of chips that we cleaned out which is the official seal of approval. For our main entrĂ©e she went with salmon (came with a kale salad side) and I went with prime rib (mashed potatoes on the side) Everything was very fresh and tasty. Meat fell right of the bone. The kale salad (which we admittedly both had our doubts about) turned out to be quite a hit. They gave me a cup of gravy to go with my mashed potatoes which I used to slightly dilute a thick serving. My plate also came with a creamy, horseradish type of sauce that we both avoid like the plague as it was much too strong for our taste buds. For desert she got a brownie and I got the key lime pie and by this time we were already running out of room in our bellys. To my chagrin, they bring out the most gut busting slice of key lime I've ever seen topped with mountains of whipped cream and graham cracker crumbles. The brownie was topped with a scoop of vanilla ice cream, peanuts and drizzled in blend of chocolate\caramel. All in all, we both left feeling very satisfied with our experience. Certainly deserving of its reputation and a place I'd be willing to visit again for a fine dining experience.
