It's here. Queens Feast is Charlotte's biannual restaurant week. For the last eight years you can choose from over 130 different restaurants, with all sorts of cuisines in the metro Charlotte, NC area. Generally three courses are offered in a prix fixe dinner menu for $30 or $35 per person (not including tax and gratuity). This offer would normally lasts from January 22–31st and reappears in July. Due to Snow Storm Jonas the offer has been extended for most restaurants until Thursday, February 4th 2016!
Sooo my City Guy and I took a much needed date night to explore restaurant week. After arriving about 10 minutes late (no fault of my own) the front of the house was very accommodating to our lateness. The restaurant lobby was full with folks waiting to be seated and the hostess seated us quickly because we had reservations.
After we were seated we choose to start the night off with drinks instead of appetizers. My choice was the Blackberry Smashed (but where’s the decoration on this drink?). His choice Blue Moon on tap (appropriately adorned).
Next we had the choice of a soup or salad. He chose the Tortilla Soup and described it as spicy, tangy, and warm but needing more tortilla strips. I had the kale salad described as salty, tangy, and also spicy. The salad had pears, and cashews on the bottom and needed a good tossing. The cashews gave the salad a surprising sweet and crunchy element to the salad. The salad dressing was spicy.
My favorite course of the meal was the entree. These dishes really impressed me. The Scottish Salmon honey mustard glazed and asparagus. The Prime Rib with loaded baked potatoes.
On to dessert we both choose the Ultimate Brownie. Delicious the graham cracker crumbs were a surprise and the caramel was the exact saltiness the dish needed.
Overall dinner was a success. The wait staff was attentive, the food was filling and well prepared. The restaurant reminded us of another place we love in Charlotte, NC’s South Park area.
Harper’s of South Park we will be back very soon and this is her so-called southern life.
