Open Table Names Charlotte Area's 10 Hottest Restaurants

By
Real Estate Agent with Coldwell Banker Realty 179530

Open Table CharlotteOpen Table has just named the 10 Hottest Restaurants in the Charlotte metro area. Each month Open Table analyzes some 400,000 reviews to come up with its list of the hottest spots to dine in around the Charlotte metro area. 

 

Personally, I was delighted to see OGGI (#3 on the Open Table list) make it into the top 10. The first OGGI in Charlotte opened just a mile away from my home in Ballantyne a few years ago. We've been regulars there since they opened and have watched the popularity of OGGI grow. They only recently opened in the Music Factory and it obviously didn't take long for them to be as popular in the Uptown area as they are in the Ballantyne area in south Charlotte.

 

The list of the 10 Hottest Restaurants in the Charlotte metro includes:

#1.   Sydney's Martini & Wine Bar: Bar/Lounge/Live Jazz in Uptown

#2.   Sports One Charlotte: Contemporary American in Uptown

#3.   OGGI - Music Factory: Italian in Uptown

#4.   Kindred: Contemporary American in Davidson

#5.   BluNotes of Charlotte: Cajun in University City

#6.   Fahrenheit - Charlotte: American in Uptown

#7.   Nikko Japanese Restaurant: Sushi in Southend

#8.   The Cellar at Duckworth's: Gastro Pub in Uptown

#9.   5Church: Contemporary American in Uptown

#10. Pisces Sushi Bar & Lounge - Mooresville: Sushi in Mooresville

 

If you've been looking for a new dining experience in the Charlotte area, why not try one of these 10 Hottest Restaurants in the Charlotte area? You can make reservations for all of them on-line at Open Table. And who knows, if you write a review, maybe one of your favorites will end up on the Charlotte Hottest Restaurant List!

Hi Nina Hollander ,  The 10 hottest restaurants sure do cover a lot of ground when it comes to different tastes.  That is a good thing.

Great information for your clients and past clients who are foodies. I love Open Table and use them all the time to check on restaurants but also for reservations

Enjoy the rest of your weekend and your Passover!

Jeff Dowler CRS ~ hi Jeff... we always use Open Table to reserve as well, as they have a points program to do so that you can apply against restaurant meals. As for Passover, not quite my holiday, but I am looking forward to Russian Easter next Sunday... I got lucky in my heritage and got to celebrate both Protestant Easter and Orthodox Easter.

Lisa Von Domek ~ hi Lisa... sushi is not my food of choice and I don't eat seafood in general. Lots of people were talking about the fact that two sushi restaurants made the current list. I guess most people aren't like me and actually like the suff!

William Feela ~ hi Bill... I like lists like this as they give me a chance to compare my own personal favorites versus the "public" favorites.

Silvia Dukes PA, REALTOR, CRS, CIPS, SRES ~ a list like this coupled with our twice yearly restaurant weeks is a great way to explore the growing food scene in Charlotte area.

Larry Johnston ~ hi Larry... that's what I thought. Then again, I was surprised that #1 was essentially a high class bar. I'm more of an Italian and French food girl and not enough of those on the list for me.

George Souto ~ good morning, George. When you come through Charlotte, I'll be happy to take you to OGGI. And then there's Mama Ricotta's -- a major "standard" in Charlotte.

Joe Petrowsky ~ hi Joe, the restaurant industry is so dependent on word of mouth and "being the hot spot" these days.

Gita Bantwal ~ hi Gita... it is good information, especially for those who are always looking for the latest "hot spot." Me not so much... I admit to being a creature of habit. Maybe I need to get out of my rut.
