In addition to awesome ice cream joints, I visited one of the many restaurants in Stonecrest, a shopping center in the Ballantyne neighborhood in Charlotte NC.
City Tavern has several locations around North Carolina. One is in Wilmington, NC, another is at Lake Wylie, and still another is in uptown Charlotte.
It is what they call an upscale casual dining restaurant. They actually have a ton of seafood on the menu, which is what I was thinking about getting. I was planning an offseason trip to the Wilmington beaches that got interrupted. Seafood in Charlotte would have to suffice. Sometimes, you just have to get out of the city.
The dinner was great and the atmosphere was nice and lively. There is a full bar there and many folks seem to show up just to sit at the bar.
Perhaps they were watching the Davidson game on the television. Davidson College lost to College of Charleston. If Davidson had been ranked, that would have been an upset. I've blogged about this many times, but Davidson College, which is in Davidson, NC on the outskirts of Charlotte, has a great basketball team for such a small school. They have the ability to upset a lot of teams in the tournament.
The dining room was full and jumping.
