18 Best Restaurants in Charlotte, North Carolina | Eater Carolinas

"January 2023 saw the start of a new chapter in Charlotte food, and specifically, Wesley Heights, thanks to chef Sam Diminich, who exults local produce and farmers with a fervor that’s almost infectious. The quaint restaurant is full of light and antique-y touches, while Diminich literally walks the walk, touring around tables. Diners are bound to be surprised by something hyper-seasonal, from a fig tartlet or barbecue eggplant to an apple cider bread pudding or kombu-cured sashimi. Restaurant Constance has a comprehensive nonalcoholic beverage list, largely shaped by Diminich’s own sobriety journey, and is the most inspired NA list in town, using tea, herbs, and shrubs. Kindly share the small plates to start. Selfishly hoard the entrees and desserts to finish." - Kayleigh Ruller
