They have the most professional service in Charlotte and their food equals or exceeds the finest restaurants in Charlotte. The staff is able to suggest perfect pairings of wine with your entrees. They serve french press coffee that is excellent. Nothing more to say except; there is a new sheriff in town and it's called Lumiere. Take your special person here and they will know they are treasured by you.
3/8/15 They recently added a Tuesday classic French special: for $25 dollars you get a glass of wine and the special entree. There is not a better deal in Charlotte. I have tried it three times and I would be there every week but my bathroom scale vetoed it.
6/8/15 Last week I tried their wine tasting and it is a great deal at $15. You had a selection of four French wines, two white and two red all from Burgundy, plus they served the best prosciutto I have had in Charlotte. Over the past year I have eaten there quite a bit and I never had anything but a wonderful meal. I would suggest to those reviewers that did not have an A+ experience that they give it another try. As to the price, this level of food in NYC would easily be triple the price; we are lucky to get such value in Charlotte
12/2016 Though their staff has greatly changed they are still an excellent place to go for dinner. all my superlatives still stand. It is a favorite. Do not overlook Aix en Provence on Providence Rd. it is my new favorite place and has many of the old staff of Lumiere. Both are excellent and Aix serves lunch and has Pat to greet you and Laura to serve a fine meal.
When the mood calls for fine food these are two of my four top places.
