We made an impromptu visit to Hello Sailor after a long day, as we both missed lunch. We found availability through Resy and our server Krista recommended the crab sandwich. It was a limited time offering, so be sure to check if it's available on your next visit. The pickles were crunchy perfection, and the fries and dipping sauce were a must-have. My husband enjoyed a beer and we both appreciated the beautiful view, reminding us of our time living by a lake in Michigan before moving to Davidson. We are grateful to have Lake Norman nearby to enjoy.

Such a refreshing change from Port City Club where we had eaten the day before. I knew when we drove up it was going to be better the parking lot was full. This isn’t a 5 star restaurant and doesn’t pretend to be it’s a wonderful place to have a drink and eat some well prepared bar food. Our server Kenzie was friendly, extremely efficient and was very responsive. She as amazing! I had the kale salad with popcorn shrimp. The shrimp was friend well and the salad was well balanced. My son absolutely loves the chicken sandwich and wasn’t disappointed. My DIL’s wedge salad looked spectacular.

We’ve had good experiences at Hello Sailor. Having access to a boat, it’s so much fun docking on the pier and heading in for cocktails and seafood.The seafood is fresh and . We’ve tried most of the regular items and our favorites remain the Calabash Shrimp, Flounder and Blackened Grouper Po’ Boy. Appetizer items like seasonal Stone Crab Claws, Oysters and Hushpuppies are a great to start.The cocktails are well made and the views of the lake from the deck make for a great setting and ambience. It gets crowded at peak times but parking is easy in the lot by car and itcan be tricky to find a spot for a boat on a beautiful day. Service is good.

Chill spot away from downtown Charlotte. The relaxing atmosphere lake side is well worth a trip. Service was excellent. Our server, Heather, was exceptional. She answered all our questions and was accommodating to all our requests. Food was great andfresh. Hush puppies and mussels appetizers were delicious. Our Italian beef sandwiches and friend's burger were great as well.The key lime cheesecake was a great end to our early dinner. Prices were a tad bit higher than average but money well spent foratmosphere and great service. If you're a drinker, they have an indoor and outdoor bar available. Highly recommend this placeand will visit again during the fall season. Menu changes with the weather. Hidden gem.

The service was OUTSTANDING! Hannah was very friendly and amazing. The food was incredible. The spicy chicken sandwich has a great zing with delicious flavor. The cauliflower steak was extremely unique and phenomenal; cheese, ground almonds, and anegg. My father has a lot of dietary restrictions and they made a custom salad to accommodate. This will definitely be a go-tospot for us!
