Restaurant Week in Charlotte seems to be on the good foot, with locals out and about, enjoying three-course meal for $30/$35.
This twice-yearly event includes upscale restaurants that offer unbelievable dinner prices.
Nothing like a great steak for me, and Sullivan’s Steak House in South End was certainly on my list. A 12-ounce New York strip steak with mashed potatoes and green beans, pineapple martini, and cheesecake with strawberries left me delightfully please.
Restaurant week continues through Jan. 28. Don’t miss out.
Here are my weekend picks.
