5Church has always been one of my favorite restaurants in Charlotte for it's great food and atmosphere. It's the caliber of a high end steak house without the formality that most have. Their NY strip steak is one of a kind and I highly recommend it. Their cocktails are also fun - I had the shot in the dark and it's fresh, fruity, but not overly sweet. My boyfriend and I decided to celebrate there and the staff went above and beyond to make me feel special. Their dessert is out of this world -- highly recommend the smores truffle brownie (or something like that). It's everything you could want in a dessert -- and I usually do not like desserts. I will definitely return to celebrate other life moments, but also for those just because moments!
