Dresslers - Charlotte

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, but Dressler's delivered. Very flavorful, perfect temperature on the inside, but perfectly flame broiled on the outside. The portions were really good sized compared to what you would get at other fine dining establishments. Joanne was a great bartender and made some strong and flavorful cocktails and gave me great service. They also gave me complimentary home-made cheesecake 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 other higher end restaurant in Charlotte, including the Fig Tree and I would definitely choose this place again over them for special occasions. I plan on going back again soon to try their other dishes. They have a great variety of dishes that look exciting.

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 in attendance, a wonderful gathering that consisted of nothing but positives and compliments from our guests. The wait staff was impeccable, 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 the space that was used could not have been more perfect, offering a lovely outdoor patio area where drinks and appetizers could be served before our group's sit down meal. Thank you, Ally, our Event Planner, Gil and the rest of the wait staff, as well as the kitchen team who prepared our menu items. We truly appreciate you all and look forward to next year!

My husband and I had our anniversary dinner here and the ambiance was great. The sword fish and steak were cooked to perfection. We enjoyed ourselves and we will definitely be back to try other items on the menu.

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 are mandatory.

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, the mix 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 highly recommend Dressler‘s for a special occasion. I didn’t see the regular menu to comment on whether or not that was affordable. The $75 was well worth it in our opinion and after our experience. We had the homemade pimento cheese, excellent by the way. The calamari with peanut Thai sauce was PHENOMENAL! No legs, the body sliced and lightly dusted/cooked almost melted in my mouth, it was so tender! I easily could have made a meal out of that. Ahi tuna was fresh and very flavorful. The lamp chops were cooked perfectly, seasoned beautifully and tender without the heavy Haney taste lamb can have. The piece de resistance 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. The desserts? 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 this had to be the most amazing crème brûlée I’ve ever eaten. Their cheesecake? I make my own, these are even better so that’s saying a lot! The dark chocolate cake was moist, not too sweet, and rich. The carrot cake is really really good however, I feel like it needed more cream cheese flavor and less sugar in the icing. My daughter told us that they have other restaurants as well, I would highly recommend a visit to Dresslers and can’t wait to try some of their other locations. I may be mistaken, but I think someone posted about Finn and Fino? I believe that is also owned by John Dressler! Definitely looking forward to trying the seafood there. Hope everyone had a great Easter! I edited this to add that the seating outside is really nice. Right by the Greenway, the stairs are painted by an artist my son had heard of. Colorful! Then there’s a statue though sadly I didn’t know of whom. Really easy to get in and out. We parked right by the Trader Joe’s and ended up going shopping after dinner. Great location!
