   Absolutely stunning from start to finish. The service was impeccable, the food was amazing, and the ambience plus decor was beautiful. I will absolutely eat here again if I’m ever visiting Charlotte in the future.

   This is an incredible dining experience. Easily the best in Charlotte. Sal, Wendy, and all the staff were terrific. 10 out of 10.

   The McNinch House is a charming, old-world dining experience. The china and salver services bring an elegant touch to dining, along with the decor of the restaurant itself. Perfect for date night or a chance to impress a high-end client. The wait staff operate like a well-choreographed dance, solicitously removing plates as the the meal progresses. The meal itself was excellent. I especially enjoyed my amuse bouche, the she-crab soup, and my entree--divers scallops with burgundy mushrooms. All in all, it was a very pleasant evening.

   Excellent place for a special occasion. Don't know which was better the food or the hospitality from the servers to the chef to the owners.

   This was our first time at McNinch House. It was fantastic from the grounds to the front door. The inside is just 1890s beautiful. Menu offerings were perfect and perfectly prrepared. It was all very personal and perfect for a special occasion. A true Charlotte gem.

   Fabulous 4-course dinner with outstanding service! And the ambiance in this gorgeous Victorian mansion is beyond description. Can't wait to come back again soon.

   It was very underwhelming and there is an added 20% service charge and when I asked if that was the gratuity I was told no, so there the expectation to tip again after the 20% service charge. Beyond that, I’ve lived in Charlotte for 4 years and always thought about going. Heard good things, but was really underwhelmed by the experience which certainly didn’t justify the cost. The pork loin was confusing, couldn’t really figure out the flavor profile and same with the soup. Also, we were there for 3.15 hours- that’s a long time for a four course meal and so it just felt very dragged out. Again, it was fine for the experience I guess but didn’t really see the hype.

    The McNinch house was beautiful and vibe was perfect. It had just the right amount of dimmed lighting and tasteful music playing very subtly in the background. On a Thursday night it was as quiet as a library, allowing my wife and I to easily enjoy our conversation and meal together. When you eat here, plan to enjoy a long, pleasant evening; don’t expect to be in and out in 90 minutes. The food is prepped to order, which means it takes time. We began our delicious “death by chocolate” desert almost three hours after our seating started. (I have a feeling this might not have been their normal time frame.) I’m glad we went, and appreciate their extra touch of giving a rose to my wife in honor of our anniversary dinner!
