Church And Union Charlotte

Came here on a Saturday afternoon for Brunch. Nice atmosphere with beautiful scenery, and the food was hot. I had the Brunch burger with was so juicy along with the homefries. We had the flight of mimosas, which was a bit underwhelming compared to other Brunch spots in the city. Overall this was nice spot.

Ok, so this experience took me awhile to enjoy. It is so much going on within the restaurant it is hard to feel into the moment. I enjoy exploring new things and usually can always find something that I am willing to try. At Church and Union, the only thing on the menu I wanted to try was a salad or fries. The waiter was extremely polite and explained the inspiration for the menu is Modern American and the writing on the ceiling came from the book Art of War, which is what they use to deliver your check. I must admit their cocktails are delicious. Overall, I appreciate the ambiance and would recommend it for those that are foodies. Just wasn't my thing however the wife loved her meal.

Had one of the better steaks I've ever had here. The ambiance is trendy yet casual. The staff are all attentive and helpful, knowledgeable about the menu as well. The filet, sides (get the Yukon potatoes! , wine selection and desserts are all fantastic. The prices are what you would expect for a five dining restaurant, though the food and service are not quite up to the price point. Overall I would highly recommend a dinner here.

This is certainly a place if you have an acquired taste for middle eastern flavors. Unfortunately the only thing we enjoyed were the mussels and the drinks, both were delicious. The service was great, the waiter was attentive, the food looked beautiful, however the flavor of the sauce on the lamb burger was funky… the smell was over powering and the taste was an unexpected disappointment. The side order of broccoli is enticing, however it’s just plain ole broccoli with butter. Lastly the pickled onions on top of fried chicken was not for me, I guess it was needed because the chicken under the breading was flavorless. Regarding the ambiance, it’s not meant to be a date spot, too loud for my preference, we could barely hear one another talk. This is more of a group space, that way you blend end with the loud voices. I give this experience 3 stars because the service was 5 star excellent!

Lovely ambience, but the food and service were mediocre at best. If you’re looking to come here for dinner, maybe check other restaurants first. The best part was the complimentary valet parking. For the food, I ordered the Arctic char and after waiting over 45 minutes, it was enjoyable but hardly worth the wait. Several members of my party ordered the burgers and they severely lacked flavor and they were much too well done for the quality of the beef. The drinks were fine, but hardly memorable. My party was greeted and seated quickly and kindly, but our server seemed to be quite annoyed through our entire experience. While we understood that managing a party of our size can be a bit complex or overwhelming, there was hardly an attempt at maintaining a pleasant disposition. The slightly condescending and impatient energy disturbed our party. Finally, their bathroom closely resembles what one may find in a Love’s Truck Stop, only with a candle and a decorative sink. In summary, this was an OK experience. I likely won’t return, but I don’t entirely regret coming.
