Dresslers - Charlotte

My husband and I had our anniversary dinner here and the ambiance was great. The sword fish and steak were cooked to perfection. We enjoyed ourselves and we will definitely be back to try other items on the menu.

I had one of the best birthday dinners ever at this restaurant! I decided to treat myself and ordered the Delmonico Ribeye, along with Pimento Cheese, French Onion Soup, and Mashed Potatoes. Everything was absolutely excellent! It's rare to find a truly good steak, but Dressler's definitely delivered. The steak was incredibly flavorful, cooked just right on the inside, and beautifully flame-broiled on the outside. The portion sizes were generous compared to what you might get at other fine dining spots. Joanne, our bartender, was fantastic; she crafted some strong, flavorful cocktails and provided top-notch service. To top it all off, I received complimentary homemade cheesecake for my birthday, and it was out of this world! Even though I was already full, I couldn't resist devouring it. It was also a pleasure to meet Mr. John Dressler, who happened to be there, and I got to thank him for such a wonderful birthday celebration. I've dined at several other fine restaurants in Charlotte, including the Fig Tree, but I would definitely choose this place for special occasions in the future. I'm looking forward to returning soon to explore their other exciting dishes. They have a fantastic variety on the menu!

Last night, our CarePatrol team hosted its annual "New Year Dinner Celebration of Gratitude" at Dressler's Metropolitan, and we couldn't be more thrilled with the event's outcome. We had 32 attendees, and the gathering was filled with nothing but positive feedback and compliments from our guests. The wait staff was outstanding—courteous, accommodating, and impressively prompt throughout the evening. They truly were fabulous! Every dish—from the appetizers to the salad, main course, side dishes, and desserts—was simply delicious. The venue was perfect, featuring a lovely outdoor patio where drinks and appetizers could be enjoyed before we sat down for the main meal. A big thank you to Ally, our Event Planner, as well as Gil, the wait staff, and the kitchen team for their exceptional service and preparation. We genuinely appreciate all of you and look forward to next year!

A pretty tough hike to a modest waterfall. This trail is easy to follow but hard to do. It’s actually a technical level 3 “scramble” —. There are no hills to climb but the boulders are formidable and often tricky to navigate. Good boots are mandatory.

My daughter took us to Dressler‘s for Easter this year. It was the first time I’ve ever been, it will definitely not be the last! First of all the staff is excellent and well trained, the food was fabulous! Portions are generous, seafood is fresh, the mix of flavors and ingredients is creative and wonderfully done. We had the fixed menu, opened with appetizers then a salad, our main dish fixed price menu for $75 per person, then we paid extra for dessert. Wonderful mocktails. Highly highly recommend Dressler‘s for a special occasion. I didn’t see the regular menu to comment on whether or not that was affordable. The $75 was well worth it in our opinion and after our experience. We had the homemade pimento cheese, excellent by the way. The calamari with peanut Thai sauce was PHENOMENAL! No legs, the body sliced and lightly dusted/cooked almost melted in my mouth, it was so tender! I easily could have made a meal out of that. Ahi tuna was fresh and very flavorful. The lamp chops were cooked perfectly, seasoned beautifully and tender without the heavy Haney taste lamb can have. The piece de resistance were the potatoes!!! I’m not a fan of the Pomme de Terre, I dislike au gratin. However…..these!?! Loved them!!!! Just incredible, their chef knows his ingredients and how to make them shine! My son had the shrimp and shucked clams linguine, it was fresh, light and excellent as well. My daughter had the frittata which was fabulous! It came with small lobster tail, and a flavorful dressing that I could tell had fresh cilantro in it. Let me tell you, their frittata was wonderful. The lobster? It was small and ok, it paired okay with the frittata, but the frittata stood on its own and didn’t need the surf side. The desserts? All I can say is you can make a meal out of the desserts as well lol! I can take or leave crème brûlée, but this had to be the most amazing crème brûlée I’ve ever eaten. Their cheesecake? I make my own, these are even better so that’s saying a lot! The dark chocolate cake was moist, not too sweet, and rich. The carrot cake is really really good however, I feel like it needed more cream cheese flavor and less sugar in the icing. My daughter told us that they have other restaurants as well, I would highly recommend a visit to Dresslers and can’t wait to try some of their other locations. I may be mistaken, but I think someone posted about Finn and Fino? I believe that is also owned by John Dressler! Definitely looking forward to trying the seafood there. Hope everyone had a great Easter! I edited this to add that the seating outside is really nice. Right by the Greenway, the stairs are painted by an artist my son had heard of. Colorful! Then there’s a statue though sadly I didn’t know of whom. Really easy to get in and out. We parked right by the Trader Joe’s and ended up going shopping after dinner. Great location!
