Mimosa Grill

Mimosa Grill in Uptown Charlotte sounds like a breakfast / brunch spot but I actually came out here for dinner with our business partners. It accommodated our large party and we were seated in a rather spacious area. The service we received from our server was excellent. She brought out all the appetizers and entrees we ordered, as well as the bottles of red and white wines including some fancy cocktails. I stuck with a simple dish of meat and potatoes but envied the “prettier” dishes my colleagues ordered. While the presentation of my dish was lacking, the flavor was good. Texturally, the meat was a tad bit overcooked for my liking. I did enjoy the olive oil cake for dessert. And the smoked fish dip was okay. The ambiance is what makes this restaurant a favorite. The building outside of Mimosa Grill was beautiful walking in but even more gorgeous at night with the dark skies and bright lights from the building. Overall, Mimosa Grill was able to cater to our large group while providing excellent service. I had a wonderful experience thanks to our server!

Creative, upscale farm to table style dishes. Drinks were also unique. Upgraded to premium alcohol for some of the items. Redfish and Salmon were excellent. Brussels were not crispy but manager was responsive. Waitress was outstanding.

My wife and I came to Mimosa Grill for a Saturday night date night recently. We were seated right away at 7pm as the place was only about half full. We chose a patio seat and we are glad we did because the weather was great. Our server was great and our experience was overall good. We ordered the Chicken Pot Pie soup, Strawberry Burrata Salad, Kale Caesar Salad with Salmon, Asparagus and Brussel Sprouts. Everything tasted great except the brussels which we ended up sending back. We would definitely come back again!

We loved our experience here! Great atmosphere and nice views of the city. The food was incredible and our server Nicole was super sweet and very helpful! We got the smoked salmon dip appetizer and it was absolutely amazing! The steak and potatoes were delicious and the strawberry cream pie with gelato was heavenly, a favorite of ours! Would definitely recommend trying this place out for a fine dining experience!

Very nice place. I was a former employee back in 2006. First and only job I've ever had as a waiter. Came back to visit NC and wanted to try their brunch menu. A lot has changed in those years but the atmosphere and quality has remained. I enjoyed the biscuits and gravy. Eggs cooked to perfection. Could use a little more gravy, other than that I enjoyed the meal. Great service from the waiter. I believe his name was Alex. He is a professional in any capacity. He made the experience worth while.

We went on a Friday evening during CLT Shout and they had an amazing singer on the porch, he was fantastic and really set and amazing vibe. We had two drinks, French 75 and a specialty cocktail, both were delish. We got the charcuterie board to split and it was super tasty, definitely one of the best I’ve had in charlotte! Service was also notably excellent, quick and friendly. Fabulous location in uptown and very nice for an evening out.

So the wife made a reservation through the Mimosa Grill website. She reserved a window seat for 2 at noon on a beautiful Sunday—prime brunch time! We were excited to visit Mimosa Grill and walked there from our Uptown hotel. Once we got there our excitement turned to disappointment pretty quickly. Our reservation was not saved in their system, my wife was able to pull up our confirmation email but our table was unavailable. We ended up being seated in a booth in the bar area, not ideal. When you have your mind set on Sunday brunch watching the city’s sights and end up stuck behind the bar, it’s not a good way to start things off. Our waitress, Hailey was nice. The food was pretty good. I ordered the steak and eggs which was tasty. I asked for the eggs to be cooked over medium but they were way over cooked. My wife’s sausage patties were probably the star of the show. As far as drinks, we ordered pineapple mimosas and they were pretty basic. Perhaps a pineapple garnish would have would have made it more aesthetically pleasing. Overall, maybe we’ll go back but the reservation mix up really put a sour taste on the entire experience. If you make a reservation, I would call to confirm.

This is our second time here and the food was absolutely amazing and Nicole our waiter was amazing! That you for the great service!

My first time here and definitely will be retuning! We went for brunch on a Sunday around 12. We were around 15 minutes late to our reservation but were seated soon regardless. Our server was Chad. He did a good job and made a few recommendations. He was attentive but not overbearing. The food was great! We got the brunch smash burger, lemon buttermilk pancakes, breakfast bowl, and a carafe of the classic Bellini. The pimento cheese on the burger was perfect. The pancakes were fluffy. The breakfast bowl was a great combination of flavors. The food came out at a reasonable time and was served at a good temperature.

This is an upscale restaurant to go for a special occasion. I went here with a few co workers for lunch to celebrate a new job. We were seated quickly on the outside patio (which is nice). Our server quickly got our drinks and order. I got a chicken sandwich and wanted to add cheese with the sweet potato chips. My coworkers got salad bowls. My sandwich didn't have cheese on it, but it was delicious and so were the chips. We were in and out quickly. Our bill was ~$70 for 3 people for lunch. I would come back for another occasion.

An upscale place, but didn't live up to the hype. Arrived about half way through their brunch time window with about an hour in our schedule to enjoy their brunch. Not crowded but apparently lacked the staff and/or the organization to meet the demand. Seated promptly, but then a waited a long time for a waiter to appear, then a long time for drinks to appear, then even longer to select our meals. Coffee arrived without a teaspoon to stir sweetener. No big deal; stirred it with my table knife. Meanwhile, various waitresses arriving at our table with other peoples' drinks and meals. Getting hungry by then and seriously considered claiming them for ourselves. Ordered the cinnamon roll; no cinnamon rolls. Settled for pancakes with blueberry syrup as described on the menu; no blueberry syrup but a few crushed blueberries around the perimeter instead. They calked it compote; not the same. Asked for the check as soon as our food arrived since time was running short and didn't want to risk not seeing our waiter again before our next event was due.

The steak was delicious- I wish it came with other type of potatoes as the ones that come with are just big chucks with not much flavor. The burger was delicious and cooked well. The cinnamon roll in the skillet was a highlight - it was perfect for sharing and very tasty. Service was fast, accurate and the ambiance was lively.

Bar tenders are attentive and friendly. They have a sangria called apple pie moonshine sangria. It has an apple-cinnamon undertone to it. Mimosa has an atrium that can accommodate large parties. Often, people get off work and head there so most are in business casual attire depending on the time. Good food!

I had a chicken breakfast bowl. I requested the eggs on the side. When I say I dream about this chicken, it was the perfect balance of sweet with a little kick, the crispness was perfect, everything about it was amazing. I'm so glad we just happened across this place. Not to mention the service. We sat at the bar and she was extremely friendly and accommodating. Will def come by the next time I'm in Charlotte.

We came by on a quiet Friday night with a larger group. The place has been a mainstay of Charlotte and there's a lot to like in it. The service though struggled to get drink orders right, to get water refilled and the other little things. That's a shame because I enjoyed the food. We started with so much of apps. The crab and pimento cheese puppies were a highlight. Some of the others weren't great for sharing. The shiwhito peppers could've used a bit more in the oven to tenderize them. But the relish board had a nice mix of cheeses and pickled vegetables. I got the market fish with a red snapper. The fish was a little on the smaller side but it was tender and quite good. The collard greens weren't advertised but were a good classic version with bacon. The desserts were fine. The chocolate banana cheesecake wasn't my favorite. The topping on it just felt more nutty than advertised and well maybe it was me. Overall, a good meal with reasonable prices.

Food, drinks, & service were all great. Tenderloin was phenomenal. Espresso Martini was delicious. Only complaint was we were seated directly next to another table (who complained about almost everything) when the restaurant was almost empty.

We had our Father's Day Brunch here. We made a reservation and, even though we were a little late, they sat us very promptly. In fact, the service was great throughout our entire visit. The atmosphere was really nice. They offer booths, tables, bar seating and patio seating. Great for small or large groups. We were sat in a booth near the bar. Unfortunately, we could hear everything the staff said, even the manager getting upset. Also, the restroom could use some attention. The food was pretty decent, but nothing special. I tried the Brioche French Toast. The edges were burnt, but the middle tasted fine. It doesn't come with any sides and they skimped on the fruit. Overall, I thought it was a little expensive for the portion size. For me, it was a one & done visit.

We decided to come after church. I had heard good things from coworkers for their lunch menu. Sadly, I was not impressed with the food. The eggs were fine,  yet the potatoes were a bit salty and over cooked.

First visit was for Easter buffet at $55/pp. they texted to ensure we were coming (although they would have charged us anyway). Upon arrival they confused our reservation with another party, which happens. We were seated shortly afterwards. Our server approached the table very timely and took our drink orders but never attempted to describe the brunch offerings or process. Upon her return she lightly spilled my Bloody Mary on my hubbies dinner plate of food seeming acting like it was no big deal. The buffet set-up consisted of a nice variety although much appeared picked over and not refreshed for new diners as would be expected. The plates were very hot when picked-up. (Ouch) The kale Cesar was a nice change-up and the dressing was excellent. The Brussels sprouts were the best I've had. The shrimp gravy with chorizo was very good. The charcuterie area was practically just crumbs, so picked over. The salmon was delightful as were the prawns. The deviled eggs were uneventful. The prime rib was over done and dry but I did see more was brought out when we hit the dessert area. Sadly they could have managed the crab legs better. Nothing to easily break them open, no scissor cut to allow peeling them apart and no wet naps. I saw many plates with none open crab legs going to waste. The desserts were excellent, big puffy cookies, mini pecan pies, lemon bars etc. service was minimal. Funny to have an automatic 20% gratuity added for such sparse service and sub-par refreshing of the buffet area. Our hope it didn't go mainly to the server as I'm certain the kitchen worked hard.

Really nice spot right downtown. Stopped in for a late lunch and by then it was quiet. Had a really good seafood chowder with lots of goodies and a nice, flavorful broth. The side salad was so good, crunchy and fresh. The fries here are frozen but cooked really well.

This restaurant exceeded all my expectations. The location and the building is very beautiful and great for photos. The wait staff were super friendly and the food came out rather quick. The chicken was very good but could have used more seasoning. The steak and potatoes were amazing. The bartender mixed some great drinks for us. Highly recommend the espresso martini.

Mimosa Grill was a great experience and the food was decent. I went for a Saturday brunch and enjoyed dining on the outdoor patio. The service was fast and the staff was pleasant. I started off with a peach bellini (A+++) and enjoyed shrimp and grits for entree. I wasn't blown away but it was mid. I would definitely go back to try more items from the menu. The atmosphere was pretty laid back and relaxing.

Dope place to have lunch. Ambience is awesome Waiter was on point Noise level was perfect for conversation

I'm a huge fan of Mimosa Grill and am ashamed to know that although I've been here several times and had great experiences I haven't written a review before today. And this is probably the least satisfied I've been so that's not ideal. I came in for lunch and was immediately greeted and seated. The staff is always so polite and helpful and I love that there is plenty of seating on the covered patio which is so comfy. Our server Bryce was awesome and helped me make a decision on a lunch meal. I usually get the burger but today was in the mood for something different. I was torn between the salmon entree and the scallops and went for the scallops. They were absolutely delicious - seasoned perfectly and cooked perfectly. The scallops arrived on a bed of risotto with pesto on the side. Immediately I noticed the size of the portion in relation to the other meals coming out around me. My meal portion looked like a snack - or at least an appetizer - compared to the others. The salmon, panko chicken, salads, were all good size portions and when I saw my dish I immediately know I would be hungry before leaving the office for the day. As I mentioned, I was pleased with the taste, but not the quantity. I hope management will consider making this a larger portion.. add some veggies like brussels sprouts or green beans maybe to round this out and leave a customer more satiated. Or even a small portion of greens on the side. I felt slighted and would have gladly paid a few dollars more for another item on the plate. Even though the scallops were tasty I regretted not ordering a different dish and I know that my male relatives would definitely have needed to order a second menu item to feel full. Because I've otherwise had pleasant experiences here and didn't write a review previously, I'm still giving 4 stars.

Came for wine and appetizers. Service was top notch and the wine was as expected. They have dinner hours so keep that in mind if you're looking for a place to have an early happy hour. Great wine selection!

It's doesn't get better for lowcountry cuisine in Charlotte, always reliable, good service

I've only been here one time before now and that was years ago!!! The food was great then and it's still great now! This restaurant is located in the heart of uptown. When you walk in, the lights are dimmed which makes it perfect for dinner dates! We were greeted upon arrival and escorted to our table which was a cute and cozy booth near the open kitchen. Before I get to the fun stuff... **shameless plug** Don't forget to follow me on IG at Foodjunkie704 Ok so let's talk about the food and drinks! I ordered the champagne kiss which was super cute and tasty and I also ordered a margarita! They did not skimp on the alcohol! Appetizers Salmon cakes - This was amazing! You get what you pay for! Not a whole bunch of filling but actual salmon! It sat on top of an aioli that was out of this world good! Crab dip - Ok listen! This is not just a "crab dip" this was a delicious pan of deliciousness! Lol! I know what I just said makes no sense but that's exactly how I felt about this dip!!!!! Again! No fillers!!! Just a ton of crab meat with smoked cheese, and fried ham!!!!!!!!!! OMG it was amazing! Main Course Deconstructed Lobster Ravioli - I hardly ever order pasta! There was something about this dish that grabbed my eye. I'm so glad I ordered it! This dish was bursting with flavor! Every bite was phenomenal! I mean my taste buds were literally having a party!!!!! This dish was loaded with lobster! I didn't have to go looking for it! The deconstructed ravioli stole the night!!!!! It was phenomenal!

This place was recommended by a lot of people, so I was surprised to find it was so empty while we were there. Service was fast. And food was very fresh. My friend got the burger that looked yummy. I had the fried green tomato blt which must have been delicious because I took zero pictures of it They also had a lot of beers on draft including a yummy strawberry kiwi sour!

Overall just ok. It felt more like a large chain restaurant. The service was average but a little slow. The food was also just ok. I had the french toast and a mimosa. Nothing was bad or wrong but nothing was excellent or delicious enough to want to come back. Parking is a pain so if I am going to come back in Uptown I want to love my meal.

Came here for lunch during work and ordered the Flank Steak. It was surprisingly so juicy and tender given the older reviews labeling it as bland. Thankfully I went with my stomach and got it because I left the plate clean. The service was good especially given the lunch rush. The food was served hot and it wasn't too noisy or crowded. If you're considering eating here don't second guess it. There's tons of delicious options to choose from and the appetizers are so good. We had the lobster Mac and cheese, fries, deviled eggs and meat and cheese plate to share between 4 people!

Came here for brunch with some coworkers and the menu is a bit limited in terms of choices. The service is pretty solid, no complaints and the aesthetic of the restaurant is pretty cute. The actual food was pretty damn good. The crab dip was phenomenal and the lobster Mac n cheese was amazing. The only average feedback is on the meat and cheese board, it was a bit basic and nothing on the board really stood out. Reminded me of some deli meats and cheese. The scallop dish was really good though, and a pretty fair serving size. Would probably come back here to try out dinner. Solid 4/5

The food was delicious. We sat and the bar and our bartender was absolutely wonderful!

You MUST get the Walnut-Crusted French Toast! We got it as a side for us all to split but if you've got that sweet tooth, by all means get it for your main dish. My brother was visiting for the weekend and specifically wanted to come here for their Chicken & Waffles. He said they were some of the best he's had. The Steak Burger was delicious!! And loved the seasoned fries... The only dislike was, the Avocado Toast was a bit expensive at $18 with very little salmon but it did have good flavor with the addition of the garlic paste

Worst service ever! Will NEVER return! Drinks weren't delivered in a timely fashion if delivered at all. We had to get up to get our own silverware. Ask for salt pepper and ketchup 20 minutes before we ever got that never again.

Beautiful environment, great staff, and food looks amazing. Definitely returning in the future when I'm back in Charlotte

My dish, not pictured because I scarfed it down, the falafel bowl was absolutely delicious! Healthy and flavorful. Everything else needed loads of hot sauce. Bland flavor, not worth the price IMO. But the view is beautiful. The waitress/bartender was awesome and made us an amazing spin on the mezcal Paloma. Delicious.

Mimosa isn't the same as it was prior to pandemic, the menu continue to be lack some of my favorite dishes like the NC Mountain Pecan Crusted trout, and others. With that said the food was good, and the location it's the main reason I continue to frequent it. With that said the servers and food were as expected for the price point.

The shrimp and grits were very flavorful! The sauce had a little spice to it which was a nice surprise. The deviled eggs were quite underwhelming though. Not a lot of flavor. The service was good, and the pricing was wasn't bad either. This made for a god Sunday brunch. I would definitely give this another try.

I was originally trying to go to Tupelo Honey, but they were closed due to "international hiring day", so they were conducting interviews all day. That's fine, the lady told me there was another really good brunch place called Mimosa Grill only like a block away, so that's where I headed. I was able to be seated immediately, I chose to sit outside because it was a gorgeous day in Charlotte. I really loved the location of this restaurant, it sits right on some sort of plaza, where many street entertainers come to make a few tips. I had the pleasure of eating brunch while a street performer played on the saxophone. My waitress was really nice! Gave me refills, checked on me, etc. I ordered fish and chips and got a class of Chardonnay. I paid about $40, I would definitely eat here again. I definitely enjoyed my time.

My chicken sandwich and fries were good and my mom enjoyed her grouper. My only criticism is that my mom's fish still had scales on it...

Mimosas Grill is fine. Just ok. Don't expect wine service, a chiller for said wine, steaks cooked to temperature, or flavor in your food. It serves a purpose, and that purpose is to be the Applebee's of uptown Charlotte at 3x the price. Go to Ruth's Chris or Capital Grille for a much better meal at the same price. Check your food and drinks for hair. If you do come to Mimosas Grill, don't forget your swag.

Sat outside and enjoyed the ambience. The service was excellent and let us relax after eating. We shared the bright bowl of greens which had the most delicious dressing. I had the miso honey glazed salmon which was excellent. Shared the grilled asparagus which was also delicious. My mom got the scallops and said they were excellent. Overall a great place to get dinner especially if you can enjoy the patio.

Food was good. But the service was ok. I found a bone in my salmon sandwich and complained to the waiter and the manager. They just chuckled. So much for service. I guess I would have had to choke for them to respond to a complaint. Ambiance was good. Good location.

Just DELICIOUS--I'll start there, as the NY strip that I had last night is still on my mind this morning. Cooked perfectly to my requested medium temp. EXPERTLY seasoned--I really wish they'd package & sell their blend so that I could try to achieve that unforgettable taste & fabulous char on my steaks at home. AMAZING sweet potato hash with a perfect amount of lardons. The dish was finished with a nice amount of sautéed kale for balance. This dish was everything I wanted. Add in a beautiful patio--perfect for all dining al fresco seasons--and great service & you have yourself a wonderful dining experience. Cheers!

Made reservations before the Eagles concert and we were early, but seated right away. The ambiance inside was upscale with great views out the window. Our server as nice and prompt but seemed very new on the job. He didn't know anything about wine, couldn't answer questions about the kind of cherries they use in an old fashion. Our Dinner was nice and the salmon was cooked to perfection. I wasn't a fan of the farro risotto, but my husband loved his skirt steak and son enjoyed his autumn pasta dish. The really sad part is my son wanted dessert and went with the apple cake. It was served practically Frozen! it wasn't good and honestly left a bad impression when I mentioned it to the server.... and he didn't do Anything, I fully intended on paying our entire bill, but it would have been nice for a manager to come over and apologize or offer another dessert instead. Pretty pricy dinner for the three of us, but don't think I will be back since there are many other venues to try and this didn't wow me.

Everything about Mimosa Grill is awesome. Food, atmosphere definitely recommend reservations on Sundays.

The bartender, Haley, was amazing. She was very attentive, accommodating and just a class act. The hostess and two managers whoever were completely incompetent and rude. The hostess seemed completely overwhelmed and out of her depth. The male manager, whose name I don't have as he didn't give it, refused to help with a reservation, failed to give any updates on if we could even get a table or sit at the bar. Overall he hindered the experience more than helped. The female manager was very similar, however she was also extremely rude when asked a question or when asked for help with a reservation. It became very clear that their management team didn't want our business and we will not be going back. Again, Haley the bartender was amazing and the only reason they even get a star at all. Also food was good but not good enough to offset the poor service from the management team.

I have been here twice both of the times the food has been amazing. I really like the portions of both the food and the drinks.

This was probably the best spot I visited on my resent trip to Charlotte. Well worth the visit.

Mimosa grill has great customer service, and a very nice view. I mentioned the view because I feel like that's why the food is so high. The quantity doesn't match the quality, the food wasn't bad it just didn't have a wow factor to it , at all. I appreciate my server splitting the mimosa bill between my other 2 brunch go'ers

This is my first time eating brunch at Mimosa Grill since they had a set menu for brunch. I remembered the buffet style brunch. The hostess was very hospitable and sat us down as soon as we arrived. The restaurant was very clean and we enjoyed the view outside. My friends ordered a mimosa carafe however there was black stuff inside the carafe. They took it back and made a new carafe of mimosas for them. The food was great. Everyone enjoyed their meal. I really enjoyed the French toast. I would definitely come back. Im not eating chicken for lent so I have to try the chicken and waffle when I return.

I have to admit the area was beautiful the restaurant was dimly lit but still a good ambiance. They only had 1 waiter and two cooks. The menue shown on yelp is outdated I came for the lobster Mac and cheese and the no longer serve it. The asparagus was delicious and the skirt steak was very chewy. They did atleast make me some home made steak sauce because I didn't like the green sauce that came with it. All I'm all it's just ok not worth the money I'm the end.

With a bold brunch name like "Mimosa Grill" you would think they have an amazing menu. Someone needs to come help the person that put this menu together. it's all over the place...price point is terrible for the dish I got & few others. No flavor in my Mimosa omlete. It was stuff with (no flavor) herb ricotta and literally 3 spinach leafs and that's it. I had to add bacon for some substance which made this 2 egg omlet $25.17. No bread.. potatoes.. nothing but hopes & dreams on this plate. I thought misery loves company but even this misery was too far off the reservation. This reminds Me of the dating scene...unavailable & ghosted. Coffee= brown water here.. I usually do not complain this bad. I get the service industry can have a hard time with good help but they do have a fantastic bartender Tiffany & Haley! They were great! So... if not the server..dear God help management! Do better guys..

My family and I don't get together much and so we we're overdue for some quality time. This place was perfect. The food was amazing and so was the service. The waitress kept our glasses full and the food all came out in a timely manner. The food was amazing. I wish I had taken pics of my food (shrimp and grits). But I was of course too busy eating and chatting. Great for groups.

Not to the standard that one should anticipate. The lobster was spongy from defrosting, and the mac and cheese appetizer was flavorless. It was way too salty, the jambalaya. However, good service and a pleasant atmosphere.

Bottom Line: Great service, thoughtfully prepared delicious food and a comfortable interior. My husband and I recently had the nicest experience at the Mimosa Grill on a Friday evening. The restaurant was largely empty, no doubt attributed to the pandemic, and that nearly broke my heart! We made a reservation via Open Table and upon arriving we were warmly greeted by the hostess. We ordered a local beer and then went for a hearty dinner consisting of Shrimp and Grits and the Wagyu Flank Steak. Both were absolutely delicious with what I would consider non-traditional twists. For example the Shrimp and Grits also had scallops and lobster in it. And the Flank Steak was served over a bacon and lobster hash. Not only did both entrees taste great but the presentation was very nice too. After dinner we weren't ready to leave Mimosa Grill yet so we lingered and enjoyed a piece of cheesesteak with a strawberry topping and super yummy crust. Aside from enjoying the food, we also really enjoyed the service and atmosphere. Our server was Kevin and he was fantastic - super friendly and attentive. The atmosphere was very nice too - cozy, comfortable and stylish. Overall, we had an excellent dining experience at Mimosa Grill and would definitely return.

Great dinner experience! Food: well portioned and seasoned. Price adequate for quality. Environment: Clean. Good customer service. Parking: street parking free in evening. Otherwise payable parking garage at walking distance. I would recommend this place!

Had a great valentines dinner at Mimosa grill! Our server was fabulous and the food came out so quickly -- delicious as well! Definitely recommend a reservation, because we walked right in no problem! Will be back!
