Last night, my real estate team, The Wanner Group, and I visited Lincoln Street Kitchen & Cocktails in downtown Charlotte, and overall it was an outstanding experience. We had a party of five, and from the moment we walked in, the atmosphere set the tone for a great evening.
The space itself is absolutely beautiful—modern, warm, and inviting with an industrial-chic vibe that feels both upscale and comfortable. It’s the kind of place that works just as well for a team dinner, date night, or entertaining clients. The lighting, exposed brick, and thoughtfully designed bar area create a relaxed but elevated environment that really stands out in Uptown.
Service was attentive and friendly without feeling rushed. Our server was knowledgeable about the menu, offered great recommendations, and made sure our table was well taken care of throughout the evening. Drinks came out promptly and were crafted well—clearly a cocktail program that’s been thoughtfully put together.
As for the food—phenomenal overall. Everything we ordered was beautifully presented and packed with flavor. The entrees were cooked well, seasoning was on point, and the menu felt curated rather than overwhelming. You can tell care goes into both the quality of ingredients and the execution.
The only minor hiccup of the night was the Steak Frites, which were a bit chewy compared to the rest of the meal. That said, it was a small detail in an otherwise excellent dining experience and didn’t take away from how much we enjoyed everything else.
Lincoln Street is exactly the kind of place you want in the heart of Charlotte—great food, a stylish atmosphere, and a welcoming vibe. We had a fantastic time, and it’s definitely a spot I’d recommend to friends, clients, and colleagues alike. We’ll absolutely be back!
