| - Hands DOWN this is my new favorite lunch place in Uptown Charlotte. I've already been here 4 times in the past week and a half!
The restaurant / bar is located just outside the Latta Arcade on the Church St. side and doesn't have a very prominent sign so you have to walk in a bit. The restaurant itself, like many of its neighbors, is split in two. The bottom floor is a small bar/lounge and can be quite packed in the evenings, bustling with activity. I can't say I know what they offer in the late evenings as far as booze and entertainment is concerned, but I will attest to the AWESOMENESS that is their lunch/dinner menu.
The top floor dining area has a similar chill and somewhat homey contemporary feel as the bottom floor - complete with an artificial fire in the corner! The menu though is far more Mediterranean with Greek salads, pita-based dishes and a variety of enticing and uniquely prepared meat dishes including Gyros. I am currently obsessed with the Lemon Pepper Chicken. I honestly don't know what goes into the SAWCE, but dam is it good. At lunch, you get a nice portion of grilled sliced chicken on a bed of rice with your choice of two sides. For those of you who like to have a lot of choice, I can almost guarantee you that this menu will have at least one thing that you're going to like. I always pick the okra and extra crispy french fries, though you can go healthier with veggies and salad. If you're not into that, then flip the menu over and there are a dozen sandwiches and customizable burgers. They're enormous and taste as good as the entrees. Chorizo and Chicken, sandwiched between ciabatta with lettuce and tomato - you'll need to deal with the food coma after ;)
Appetizers - DELICIOUS! Ranges from spicy wings to gooey artichoke dip to just plain chicken tenders - don't forget the Texas Pete hot sauce they've left for you! I always wanna try something new every time I come here. I won't get bored for awhile. Moreover, they're consistent in their preparation. These cooks know what's up. I haven't been disappointed once with my order.
The lemon pepper chicken and its fellow compatriot entrees can range from $8 - $10, which is a freakin steal in my books. Food comes out quickly and the service is very friendly. They're always trying to accommodate varying party sizes too. Lunch can get busy as I found out today, but these guys are so efficient, they get everyone fed and paid within the lunch hour. Must be practice!!
All in all, Nefelie's is the bomb and I'll be coming here as much as I can steal time away from my work day. I'm glad to have found this place, because it stands out from many of the generic restaurants on Tryon and the Epicenter.
Be back soon!
