Reviews for Dressler's in Charlotte, NC
This place is really over rated. The food is very expensive for the quality and quantity that you get. The Crab dip is a very... small potion for $21 and it was just ok. My salad was a disappointment and finally I ended up with the pimento cheese appetizerwhich wasn't impressive at all. Elegant environment good service but that's about all. Also the drinks are a ripoff we got theCoconut drink in the shell full of ice with the alcohol in it and seemly water down. Read more
A pretty tough hike to a modest waterfall. This trail is easy to follow but hard to do. It’s actually a technical level 3... “scramble” —. There are no hills to climb but the boulders are formidable and often tricky to navigate. Good boots aremandatory. Read more
This was one of the best birthday dinners I have ever had! I went all out and got the Delmonico Ribeye , as well had the... Pimento Cheese, French Onion Soup and Mashed Potatoes. Everything was excellent! It is hard finding a good steak, butDressler's delivered. Very flavorful, perfect temperature on the inside, but perfectly flame broiled on the outside. Theportions were really good sized compared to what you would get at other fine dining establishments. Joanne was a greatbartender and made some strong and flavorful cocktails and gave me great service. They also gave me complimentary home-madecheesecake for my birthday that was phenomenal! Despite already being full, I devoured it. It was also a pleasure to meet Mr.John Dressler himself who happen to be there and to thank him for the wonderful birthday experience. I've been to several otherhigher end restaurant in Charlotte, including the Fig Tree and I would definitely choose this place again over them for specialoccasions. I plan on going back again soon to try their other dishes. They have a great variety of dishes that look exciting. Read more
My daughter took us to Dressler‘s for Easter this year. It was the first time I’ve ever been, it will definitely not be the... last! First of all the staff is excellent and well trained, the food was fabulous! Portions are generous, seafood is fresh, themix of flavors and ingredients is creative and wonderfully done. We had the fixed menu, opened with appetizers then a salad,our main dish - fixed price menu for $75 per person, then we paid extra for dessert. Wonderful mocktails. Highly highlyrecommend Dressler‘s for a special occasion. I didn’t see the regular menu to comment on whether or not that wasaffordable. The $75 was well worth it in our opinion and after our experience. We had the homemade pimento cheese, excellent bythe way. The calamari with peanut Thai sauce was PHENOMENAL! No legs, the body sliced and lightly dusted/cooked - almost meltedin my mouth, it was so tender! I easily could have made a meal out of that. Ahi tuna was fresh and very flavorful. The lampchops were cooked perfectly, seasoned beautifully and tender without the heavy Haney taste lamb can have. The piece deresistance were the potatoes!!! I’m not a fan of the Pomme de Terre, I dislike au gratin. However…..these!?! Loved them!!!!Just incredible, their chef knows his ingredients and how to make them shine! My son had the shrimp and shucked clams linguine,it was fresh, light and excellent as well. My daughter had the frittata which was fabulous! It came with small lobster tail,and a flavorful dressing that I could tell had fresh cilantro in it. Let me tell you, their frittata was wonderful. The lobster?It was small and ok, it paired okay with the frittata, but the frittata stood on its own and didn’t need the surf side.? Thedesserts? All I can say is you can make a meal out of the desserts as well lol! I can take or leave crème brûlée, but thishad to be the most amazing crème brûlée I’ve ever eaten. Their cheesecake? I make my own, these are even better sothat’s sayi Read more
The food was GREAT! I do have a few gripes though. 1. The water tasted as if it was bad tap water. 2. The shrimp, although very... nice in size, tasted like it was just taken from the sea (please soak in milk or a little baking soda and water). Lastly, theserver Ryan aka King Joffe (his name as our server on the receipt) was extremely rude. He was telling us what to eat, notsuggesting, eavesdropping and also made the comment “at these restaurants” where one could insinuate that he thought we’venever been to a “nice” restaurant before. All experiences are different, but Mr. Ryan definitely needs training in overallcustomer service!! So this review was mainly based on the service. Again, the food was really good! Read more
Last night, our CarePatrol team hosted its annual ‘New Year Dinner ~ Celebration of Gratitude’ dinner at Dressler's... Metropolitan. Wow. We could not have been more pleased, or asked for a better overall outcome for such an event. We had 32 inattendance, a wonderful gathering that consisted of nothing but positives and compliments from our guests. The wait staff wasimpeccable, beyond courteous and accommodating, while being very prompt throughout the night. Seriously, they were all fabulous!The food, including the appetizers, salad, main course, side dish and desserts were divinely delicious. The ambiance of thespace that was used could not have been more perfect, offering a lovely outdoor patio area where drinks and appetizers could beserved before our group's sit down meal. Thank you, Ally, our Event Planner, Gil and the rest of the wait staff, as well as thekitchen team who prepared our menu items. We truly appreciate you all and look forward to next year! Read more
