When we saw this on the list for restaurant week, we were very excited to try this place out. The menu sounded wonderful and we... thought we had found something really unique and special. While the presentation was very fun and unique, I felt as though thattook away from the actual quality of food that was served. The popcorn shrimp was no different than ordering from a chainrestaurant other than it coming on a stale bed of popcorn inside a popcorn maker with dry ice (which was cool). I orderedblackened salmon with shrimp. The Salmon was not blackened, it was broiled and only one large shrimp on top. I did enjoy thepeacock platter it was served on. I ordered the Prosecco jello which came in a cute wine glass, but it was very evident it hadbeen made days in advance. The jello was so stiff you could barely get your spoon through it. Depending what you're looking for in a restaurant, if it's for great quality fine dining, this isn't it. For a fun unique experience in a funky atmosphere, thisplace is for you. I do wish this establishment success in the future. Read more
We booked a reservation for two on the first day of Restaurant Week. At that time, the only time available was 5pm. When we... arrived, we were promptly seated. The restaurant was not very full. The decor was lovely and upbeat. There was music playingvia speakers throughout the restaurant. The speaker near us kept fading in and out which was a little annoying. Our server cameto the table promptly to take our drink and food orders. Her excellent service continued throughout our stay. The first coursearrived quickly. Deluxe is known for over the top fun food presentation. The Lobster Puffs were served on a toaster. The CrabDip was served on a wooden board along with a bird. Both items were good although the crab dip was a bit salty. Shortly after,our entrees arrived. This is where things began to decline a bit. My Salmon and Shrimp came with one shrimp which wasovercooked. The salmon and broccolini were pretty good. The mashed potatoes were more like scalloped potatoes. The pineappleshrimp bowl, while flavorful, was overcooked and mushy. Then the dessert arrived. The Tiramisu was pretty good although someonewas extremely heavy-handed with the cocoa powder on top. The Cheesecake was an indescribably weird combination of random things(popcorn and grapes?!?) that unfortunately just didn't work. While the presentation is very cool, more focus needs to be madeon the actual preparation and service of the food. Trust the reviews! Read more
I was hoping for a fun dining experience, but I got that and so much more!! Stylish decor, impeccable service, creative culinary... presentation and everything we ate was absolutely to die for! The flavors were original and delicious. The drinks were also funwith edible gold and flowers! Would be an impressive date choice. Read more
One of the neatest restaurants I've ever been to! I'd call this a diamond in the rough because the outside doesn't match the... luxury and fine dining experience inside. Our drinks had GOLD in them and tasted amazing, then when our appetizers came out theywere plated on dishes that were so fun and unique. The food tasted amazing and the service was great. Our dinner plates wereeven more outstanding and we even tried on the helmet to fit the part. We will definitely be back again soon to try the otheramazing dishes and can't wait to see how they are plated and taste. The GM is super friendly and accommodating as well, which wereally appreciated him making sure we enjoyed our experience. Read more
Let me tell you this place is amazing! Super friendly staff and food was phenomenal. The crab dip is a must, it's served with... pita chips and it's the perfect pairing. The duck with risotto is out of this world! And the deluxe spritz is so good, bonuspoints if you get it with the empress gin to make it with that amazing pink color! And the Our bartender was super nice and madeus the best cocktails with super cute garnishments. Don't miss out this place is a must! Read more
My wife and I visited Deluxe last night for restaurant week. We were pleasantly surprised at how good everything was from start... to finish. We shared the crab dip and the cheese puffs which were both delicious. For our entrees we had the salmon and the lambshank(which was fall off the bone tender). The food was delicious and the drinks were great. All of the servers were friendlyand attentive(even those who were just passing by). The bartender, Chelsea was awesome, not only did she make some of the bestdrinks we’ve had in Charlotte, she made us feel welcome. We also appreciated all of the whimsical themes that were displayedwith the food. Read more
We went to Deluxe Fun a week ago during Feast Week! I discovered them on TikTok and decided to give them a shot, and they... didn’t disappoint. They do accept reservations through Yelp and we were seated promptly when we arrived (and we went on aFriday night). This place is all about the theatrics and presentation of your food (get your cameras ready). My popcorn shrimpcame out in an actual popcorn machine, on a bed of popcorn. And on top of that, their food is actually pretty good. It didn’tblow my mind, but this was a great place to experience. I couldn’t really see myself frequenting this place because I did notethat it’s a bit pricey, but a nice place to go with friends every once in a while. Read more
