| - I went during Queen's Feast, Charlotte's version of Restaurant Week, so my response may not reflect the usual dining experience at M&M. I liked the place, but I don't know if I'd go back again. Their portions are HUGE, and their menu is pretty extensive, though full of typos. I got a mussel appetizer in white wine sauce, and it was equal to most place's mussel entrees. At the same time, my mother ordered a crab fritter entree that wasn't nearly as huge. I think some more indications on the menu regarding size would be useful.
The main entree I got, a Chilean sea bass and shrimp in beurre blanc sauce, was very tender. I thought it was reasonably sized but dwarf-like in comparison to the other courses, including the side items. When you ordered the chef's broccoli, it's pretty much the same size as the produce section's broccoli. Good if you're hungry, but I was overwhelmed. Be sure to try their wedge salad with blue cheese and special dressing-that was my favorite part of the whole meal.
Our party agreed that the service is a little unfriendly and a bit impatient. The server we had for the evening seemed annoyed with having to bring out boxes or extra knives. While the atmosphere is dignified but not stuffy, our waiter seemed a little pompous.
Though there's a piano there, our dinner group heard party favorite hits. It seemed kind of out of place having sea bass and hearing Michael Jackson.
The portions for the price is the big draw.
