I was a bit leery about Black Finn opening in Ballantyne as we lived in Uptown Charlotte our first three years here and it was pretty much known to be a "beer crawl" kind of place. We were most pleasantly surprised that this Black Finn location caters to all tastes and age groups. The food and service have been consistently excellent. They have two outdoor patios for those of us who prefer a bit more peace with our dinner (interior very busy & noisy). We even order takeout from them on evenings we don't feel like cooking or going out. They are a very upbeat cheerful group and we always enjoy our time spent there. And for you wine drinkers, don't miss their "Wine Down Wednesdays"!
