Staying at a hotel in Charlotte with no car so I needed a place I could walk to from the Ballantyne hotel. Consulted Yelp! and the Terrace Cafe came up near the very top. It's a short walk across a few very busy streets to a center with lots of food choices.
They server breakfast until 2:30, and it looked tempting. Almost went for the fried green tomatoes and a regular breakfast but decided to get something I can't find in my neck of the woods - shrimp and grits.
The food was outrageous. The shrimp and grits was topped with fried okra. Very yummy.
Very surprised that the service was not good. I arrive at 1:30 on a Monday and the place was almost empty. It took a while to get seated and while the initial contact with the server was prompt, I barely saw him again after he delivered my food. Took forever for him to bring my check and I was the about the only one there!
This should have been a five star review. Not well managed when I was there.
