300 East is a Charlotte institution. Located in Dilworth in a restored home, it's worth a lunch or dinner trip. Make a reservation and ask everyone to arrive on time - they won't seat you until your full party is there. The interior is cozy (or, really tight - depending on how much personal space you want/need).
The menu is delicious and the specials are always tasty - you're not going to not enjoy your meal here. Overall, I like the food, but find the restaurant a bit too stuffy for my taste. That being said, it's worth checking out if you haven't been here.
