"As warm weather comes back around, Tuesdays, with half-off bottles of wine, on the front patio of 300 East sound all the more enticing. This quaint homestyle restaurant serves up a famous French onion soup and has been operating out of this old Dilworth neighborhood home since 1986. It has a straightforward, unfussy menu (aka a little something for everybody) with doughy pull-apart pesto rolls to start, creamy pastas, and proteins like salmon, chicken, and pork chops. With mainstay desserts, this local joint is often the finish line after a long neighborhood stroll." - Kayleigh Ruller
"The New American cuisine of this long-standing restaurant housed in a refurbished Victorian-era house is worth a visit. The brunch menu features crowd-pleasing favorites like the shrimp cake Benedict, breakfast pizza with local chorizo and fried eggs, or buttermilk fried chicken biscuits, accompanied by two cans of sparkling wine." - Kayleigh Ruller
"Ashley Boyd, executive chef of 300 East, values Shaw's heirloom varieties despite their challenges, highlighting how they enhance the culinary experience." - Stephanie Burt
"From the front porch to the fireplace, the atmosphere is homey in this refurbished Dilworth. Brunch here is an event. Served only on Sundays, the menu features a wide assortment of breakfast and lunch dishes ranging from flatbreads and salads to sandwiches. The food is well-crafted but not particularly trendy, which is part of the somewhat proper atmosphere. This isn't a roll-out-of-bed spot. You'll want to get a little dressed up." - Nancy DePalma
In a century-old Dilworth house, this family-run classic serves brunches, desserts, and unfussy seasonal plates. Spotlighted in Axios Charlotte’s It’s Still Good series as a defining neighborhood staple.
