I've been a huge fan of this place ever since they first opened. However, with new Executive Chef Tom Landers, owners Kevin & Ingrid Howard have really taken the place to a whole new level. You absolutely can't go anywhere in Charlotte for a better meal. Tom is so original and creative with his dishes, everything he serves is a "can't miss". Then the staff pairs this amazing cuisine with an incredible assortment of fine wines from around the world. And you're buying the wine at wine shop prices rather than restaurant prices. BIG difference. Great food + great wine + great prices = the best value food/wine experience in Charlotte.
If imitation is truly the sincerest form of flattery, then the other wine bars and restaurants in the area LOVE Vintage Wine Cellar as well. From the menu items to the wine events that Vintage has developed over the years, other local wine bars just can't help but copy what Vintage is doing. But no one does it better than the original.
Pros: Best food/wine experience in Charlotte; MUST try this place
Cons: none

Heard about Frankie's from many people so my friend and I went there this evening. Had a great server, the bread was fantastic (I love that they put balsamic with olive oil SO GOOD!). The Mona Lisa salad was to die for - its dressing was perfectly drizzled and enhanced the goat cheese immensely. I had the shrimp scampi and let me tell you, it was heaven. I grew up in a restaurant family and even my father couldn't make a scampi that tastes like this, it was the perfect amount of garlic and a great portion of shrim. My friend had the penne in vodka sauce and his portion was huge! I've had vodka sauce at other places and it's never been as good as it was tonight, usually it's either too vodka-y or not enough, this was magnifique. We shared the Nutella bread pudding for dessert and it was so rich and such a perfect ending. This was my first time at Frankie's, but it certainly won't be my last. We were treated like we were the only people in the restaurant, even though we weren't. This is how a restaurant experience should be. Frank himself would be pleased!
Pros: Food. Atmosphere. Food. Service. Food.
Cons: Ate too much.

My boyfriend and I went here for lunch today and were seated in a nice out of the way nonsmoking section upstairs. The menu selection is great with authentic irish dishes served with elegence. We definitely plan to go back to enjoy a heartier meal than the light lunch we shared. If you go, be adventerous and try something different.
Pros: ambience, food, setting
Cons: parking

I love the food here. The spinach and avocado dip is wonderful as well as the hummus plate served with pita bread. And of course the pizza is fabulous. The place is small but I like the atmosphere and charm, sitting on the patio is my favorite spot to hang out. A great plus is the beer is very cold!

The food was really tasty. Spouse and I ordered a Salmon Entre with a Lobster Mac side...it was so good. There was plenty of food one side dish could be easily shared. The ambiance was romatic and the wait staff was attentive. I would recommend this place for special occasions.
