Best Cozy Restaurants in Lake Norman

We had a wonderful Christmas party with our friends and family on Friday. Our group was larger than most of the parties there (14 of us), but our server Allie did a fantastic job. The food was amazing and we were happily surprised to see Classic Filipino Steak on the menu! We met Faith, the wife and business partner of chef Wes who is the founder of Choplin’s and found out she’s Filipino, hence the special steak on the menu. She was very hospitable, as well as her cousin Samantha who is the manager who continue to check on our group throughout dinner service. We love that it’s a family operated restaurant. You can really feel it in their service. Thank you Choplin’s for a wonderful 1st experience, especially on such a busy night! Salamat po! We will be back!

16 Prime is an upscale restaurant in Denver,NC. This is just what Denver needed. I appreciate good food, wonderful ambiance, and fabulous service. I had the flounder and it was flaky and flavorful. My husband enjoyed Sea Bass, as well as the Mediterranean octopus. We did order a side of crispy Brussels, but sadly had to return. They were hard (under cooked) in the middle and charred. Had a very bitter taste. This was removed from our bill without question. All in all was a lovely evening in a neighborhood restaurant. We will go back.

Good food, nice ambiance, and excellent service!! Our server, Ayana (sp?) was THE BEST!! And the "old fashioned" cocktail is amazing! Overall, a fabulous dining experience.

They always go above and beyond to make sure that everything is right. Service was spectacular. Food and drinks were made to perfection in our server was fabulous. Thank you for accommodating us.

This was our first time visiting Lulabelles. We had the best time ever. Our server was Jalisa, she was so very accommodating to us. She made us feel at home. Great attitude, great service, she is a keeper for sure. We will definitely be back!!! Thank you Miss Jalisa.
