I shouldn't give Burton's such a high rating, because that will make it busier and I'll have a hard time getting a table. But Burton's is absolutely wonderful!
The setting is not all that special -- though the patio is among the nicest in Charlotte -- but the food, oh the food, is wonderful. Of all the choices among eight people on two nights, only one things (brussels sprouts!) was less than wonderfully superb.
I especially recommend the Gen. Tso's cauliflower appetizer, if they have it that night, plus the crab cakes (best I ever have had) and the ribs. Get mashed potatoes as one of your sides. The onion rings are very, very thin and a relatively small order, but they are great too.
And the key lime pie meets all the standards for that dessert, short of getting it in the Keys.
(Oh, and if you are lucky, get Bobby as your waiter.)
