Reid's is a local grocery store, with a little cafe attached. If I were to work in the area, I'd probably frequent this place quite often.\n\nThe prices did seem a little pricier than your normal grocer, but you'd kind of expect that from this location. It's located on the bottom floor in 7th Street Station parking gar...

There are several reasons to go to Sonoma:\n\n1. We didn't have reservations, and still got in. Anytime there's a nice restaurant in Uptown Charlotte that you can get in to immediately without reservations on a busy evening, either it's not actually a nice restaurant, or you're the luckiest person in the world.

Sonoma is one of those restaurants with a cool atmosphere, convenient uptown location, and a great looking menu.

It's like they are trying to make the ghetto look classy. But, a ghetto with new bed dressing and a half assed paint job is still a ghetto. Even the \"newly renovated\" room we asked for, since only 50% are, is disgusting and not actually renovated. It's just a shoddy job of putting lipstick on a very nasty pig.

I don't often get down to the Arboretum area, but we were over that way one morning and decided to stop for a bite at the Charlotte Cafe as a change of pace.\n\nIt's an interesting little place - nothing too pretentious (like Le Peep can be), just a little cafe that has a diner feel to it. You have a decent choice of ...

From my one and only visit today so far, I rate this restaurant poorly because it took the server a long time to come to my table after I was seated. I ordered something on the menu called Sly Scottie because next to it in italics it said 'We're famous for this one!' It sounded okay: Turkey, broccoli, and cranberry sau...

Went to this place for breakfast for lunch with my sister. It was fast friendly service and they were quick to refill my sweet tea and awkward requests (I mix and match slides). \n\nMy sister ordered pancakes which she had no problem with and returning to the South, the bowl of grits were delightful.

We come to the Charlotte Cafe periodically primarily because they have a good variety of veggies on the menu. The food is, like I said above, a-ok.

I love that I've found a bookstore that isn't a chain. As much as Borders and Barnes are tried and true, it's refreshing to know that an indy is still around.
