    Fantastic as always. I’ve been several times a year for the past 3 years and the quality has been consistent in all aspects. My guest was there for the first time and thoroughly enjoyed it. Great place for special occasions, date night or a fancy dinner with the ladies.

    We loved our first dining experience at the McNinch House, The lovely, quiet atmosphere, the outstanding staff and delicious food were extraordinary. We enjoyed talking to the Chef who visited our table. He is clearly passionate about the quality of the meal courses he and his staff serve. A romantic spot for any special occasion or just to treat yourself.

    Beautifully decorated, formal old mansion. Food was excellent, as was the service. Quiet and serene environment. I'll go back the next time I am in Charlotte.

    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.
