3 Best Day Trips from Charlotte

"Beneath Terra's unassuming striped awning and simple sign is an honest-to-goodness neighborhood bistro that's welcoming from the moment you walk in. Exposed brick, a cozy bar, and an ever-changing menu makes the restaurant comfortable but never stale—and if that's not the recipe for success, we don't know what is. Chef Mike Davis sources great products, follows the seasons, and edits his dishes so there's just enough going on. Therefore, it's often hard to make a decision on what to order—everything looks good. Anything seafood is usually a winner, but if there's triggerfish on the menu, by all means, pull that trigger." - Stephanie Burt
