I was in Charlotte for the Half Marathon and although I had every intention of catching an Uber to a nice Charlotte Italian restaurant, as dinnertime neared closer, I just decided I didn't feel like going anywhere. I considered room service but after seeing the Yelp reviews of the hotel restaurant, I figured I'd give it a try.
I was greeted by a nice gentleman who sat me in a booth. I really liked him. He made conversation with me and I told him I was doing the half marathon the next day and he asked me questions about it. Really nice guy--although I think he was a hotel associate and not part of the wait staff.
Anyways, I wanted to keep it simple so I ordered one of my faves; cheeseburger & fries! I had seen a pic on here of the fries and they looked so good! I love french fries so I was very excited to try those. My meal probably came out in ten mins or less. Right away I grabbed a fry, dunked it into some ketchup anddd........gross!!! Idk if it was thyme or Rosemary (bc I hate both and can't tell which is which) but that's the only flavor I could taste. I honestly could only eat about five fries bc they were completely ruined by that seasoning. Ugh!
The burger was ok. I asked for no lettuce, tomato or onion but it came out with onion on it anyways. I wasn't crazy about the onion after-taste since they had it laying on the bun. I ate half the burger and took the other half up to my room for later. It was a very basic burger. I've had much better and was not impressed with the flavor of this one.
I was considering dessert but that became a big "hell no!" when I saw that the cheapest one was $10. Thanks but no thanks.
Overall, I was pretty disappointed based on my experience VS the reviews I saw here. Only thing saving this from a 2 rating was the very nice gentleman that who helped me get seated and brought my water. The actual waitress who came later was not very friendly; didn't even introduce herself. Looking back, I wish I would have just gotten room service.
