Atmosphere is fabulous, the service is outstanding as was the food. Cannot recommend enough! They were especially attentive to my dietary restrictions, + we did not feel rushed to finish our bottle of wine. This place is a gem.

Our waitress was wonderful, I cannot remember her name but she has black stylish glasses, we had a tight time frame and she honored our time schedule and kept us on track.. my petite filet with Italian Oscar was delicious. The bread melted in our mouth. Our waitresses recommendations were on point.

We stopped in Charlotte last night as a pitstop during holiday travel and stumbled upon this true gem. What a delightful and delicious experience! The Jardin salad (with seasonal vegetables and fresh herbs) and the Sole Meunière was on par with anything you’ll find at the top chefs in NY or Philly. Fabulous wine list - and Luke was fantastic.

Angelines was a great Christmas dinner for my family of four. The entire staff from the valet to the server made us all feel welcome. We started with whipped ricotta. It was delicious! Don’t sleep on the chopped salad, very tasty. It was hard to choose an entrée because each one looked amazing.
