Avoid this place at all costs. The food is disgusting. I honestly never had food this horrible in my entire life. From the frozen crab cakes to the unseasoned grouper.. my experience left me confused and hungry. This is simply a Marriott hotel restaurant - not an award winning restaurant by any means.

Truly. Meh. The Cutter's Cigar Bar is nice, so I had high expectations. Well, you know the rest of the story. I guess the idea was to let the hotel guests in shorts and colorful polos eat there because Charlotte has nothing better to offer? Not. Almost everywhere else in Charlotte center city is better.

If there were a two and a half star, I would have selected it.\nI went with a group of six .My friend happens to love Frank Sinatra and it was his b-day so we gave this place a shot.\nThe \"italian dishes\" our table ordered were lets say....not so Italian tasting.

I met up with friends for a birthday gathering at Frankie's. It was my first time and, while I usually don't go out of my way for Italian, I was very impressed with Frankie's. I felt like I stepped back in time. The ambiance and decor seemed elegant from the 50s era, yet the friendliness of the server and the atmosp...

Great take out spot conveniently located in the Latta Arcade. Never takes more than 5 minutes to get my food even during the lunch rush. Pricing could be a dollar cheaper in my opinion but the bourbon chicken special is fantastic.

I'm not really a bar goer, but ended up here for a late-night-one-more-drink get together. \n\nTwo stories. Easy going crowd.

Pleasant little Irish-style place, with a patio and two stories and the usual Irish brews on tap. But, as other reviewers have said, the lack of food means that the place should not claim to be a pub.

Only two stars due to the lack of selection. No food menu and inside is like a dungeon. They do have a nice outside area with TVs and a rather secluded environment. One of these stars is because of their Sunday special. $4 Car Bomb shots!! Other than that, they really don't have any other specials. I asked the ba...

My favorite Irish bar in Charlotte and probably the friendliest bartenders I've ever met.

The beer selection leaves a lot to be desired. Also, the playlists need to be updated every now and then. But, the location is killer and service is acceptable. The open seating area in the back is killer!

Very crowded, food is just ok, bartenders are outstanding, great location, but here's my issue, why on earth do they charge a cover to go in? This is a drinking/eating establishment and they charge a cover when there is no band playing? Seems ridiculous and all about $$$$$$$$!

I was not very impressed with this place. Walked in and immediately felt like I was working in a waste water treatment plant. I cannot believe the employees can take the smell. Had to go outside after getting a beer to make it work. If they clean this place up, it would be pretty cool. Good luck!
