"I took my wife here for her birthday and we had a pretty great time. Good service and food led to an overall great experience that I definitely have to recommend for Lake Norman eats.\n\nThe interior is dark and a tad bit cramped, but luckily it was a warmer night and we were able to grab a table outside where it was a bit more spacious and intimate. There were a couple of servers who helped us which was a bit weird, and one was extremely friendly and knowledgeable while the other was not so much. \n\nAfter grabbing beer and wine our Caesar salads came out ($5.00 as an add-on to an entree.) The salads were fresh and the dressing was definitely homemade. You can always tell with Caesar dressing when the dressing has the slight \"fishy\" taste to it. It was a pretty good salad.\n\nFor dinner I ordered the double cut pork chop ($23), which definitely lived up to the \"double\" part. This pork chop was huge! It had that fresh pork taste to it and I enjoyed it for the most part. My only complaint was that while I ordered it medium rare, it came out rare. I didn't complain since I was super hungry, but while it was tasty I couldn't get over that cool centered texture in my mouth. The chops came with mashed potatoes, and those bad boys were pretty bangin'!\n\nMy wife had the cast iron scallops ($25) and she enjoyed them. The scallops were cooked to perfection and were in a tasty sauce. The polenta and quinoa that accompanied it were also quite delicious.\n\nFor dessert we split a slice of key lime pie, and it's a good thing we split it because it was massive! It had a nice tartness to it and the crust was great. Overall it was a tastetacular dessert.\n\n131 Main is definitely a great addition to the finer dining choices in the Lake Norman area. I'd definitely be down with returning for a round two."^^ . "2012-11-24T00:00:00"^^ . "0"^^ . . "4"^^ . "2"^^ . . . "0"^^ .
