| - The Summit Room will most certainly be a staple eatery of ours for the foreseeable future. We've been twice now and have been very pleased with the entire place. It's still a fairly new restaurant, so they are working through some kinks... but overall this is a place to add to your Charlotte bucket list.
The breakdown:
Environment:
A++. If it's nice out, try to get a space on the front porch or in the rocking chairs. Decor is lovely, very industrial chic. Hardwoods, white accents. Music was on point. The wait staff was very nice.
Food:
The Kale Salad. Just do that - every time. The dressing, the kale, the garnish... DAMN. It's one of those salads that makes you feel like you're not actually eating a salad.
The potato gnocchi is a great dish overall, not too large for those of us who feel guilty after eating an entire plate of pasta.
The cheddar scones rival any southern cheddar biscuit I've tasted. What a delight.
The salmon was not my favorite, but still good.
The shrimp bahn mi sliders were great! Warning, they come with a kick!
My one wish is that they add a few more entree options for those of us wanting to limit the carbs/meat intake.
Drinks:
Give me that Chocolate Old Fashion EVERY DAY. Sounds gross right? Not at all! They use handmade chocolate bitters and it's heavenly. Served in a small snifter - perfect for bourbon fans.
My boyfriend got the pear martini and it was delicious! Not at all what you would expect - light, summery, with a citrus finish.
Kinks:
We went to dinner last night (Tuesday evening). We pulled up and were ecstatic to see that there were a bunch of tables available outside. When we walked in we asked for a table outside (there were three clean and one dirty that I saw) - the host quickly said no, that they were reserved and that he had people waiting for awhile. No worries, he offered us two rocking chairs outside which was actually way better. The funny part was that the tables remained unfilled the entire time we were there.
The wait staff seemed completely overwhelmed outside. I give them a ton of credit because they were HUSTLING... but it took us awhile to get our drink orders and even longer for food. I kind of had to pull our waitress aside to order rather than her asking us what we wanted. Again, not a huge deal. We were completely content to sit outside and enjoy the weather and our drinks.
Overall:
We will definitely be back!
