@131_main in Charlotte my drink of the night was a French 75 . I wanted to try to shrimp and grits, but they were out of grits. Our reservation was at 8:45. I'm guessing the grits was a popular item that day. So I just went with a burger and fries to be safe. I would go back at a different time to ensure that everything's available. The ambience and the customer service is great

My dining partner had a craving for baby back ribs, so I decided to take them to 131 Main in the SouthPark neighborhood. Parking was a breeze for us, although I can imagine it might be trickier on busier nights. We made reservations and were promptly seated in a spacious booth with comfortable leather seating. The restaurant's dim lighting and tasteful jazz music set a cozy, intimate atmosphere, perfect for conversation. Our friendly waitress, Serena, took excellent care of us throughout the evening. We started with the grilled artichokes, which were served as three halves of medium-sized artichokes accompanied by a delicious white dipping sauce. The artichoke hearts were a highlight, and every leaf was tender and edible, requiring a satisfying scrape with our teeth to get the meat off. Not a single leaf was left behind! For our entrée, we shared the Danish Baby Back Ribs. The staff thoughtfully plated half a rack on each plate, complete with generous portions of shoestring French fries and a peanut & ginger slaw. The in-house smoked ribs were covered in a house-made BBQ sauce that struck the perfect balance of sweet and spicy, making each bite an explosion of flavor. I found myself savoring every bit of meat and sauce right off the bone. I've now discovered my go-to spot for baby back ribs. A nice touch was the hot towels provided after the artichoke appetizer and ribs, allowing us to clean our hands thoroughly. We couldn't leave without trying the banana cream pie. It was decadently sweet and absolutely amazing, featuring banana cream pudding topped with banana slices, whipped cream, caramel, chocolate syrup, and a perfectly thick graham cracker crust. Our 3-course meal, along with two Diet Cokes, came in under $75--a fantastic price, especially considering we shared the full rack of ribs, which was more than enough for both of us. We left fully satisfied and thoroughly impressed. Will I be coming back? Absolutely yes.

I am from Maryland but let me tell you this restaurant alone was almost enough to make me wanna relocate to Charlotte! It was a nice restaurant right by my hotel and also right by the mall and plenty of shopping, so the area alone is awesome. Now for the food, each and every single dish we got was delectable, drinks were also good and the dessert was amazing. This spot will now be a staple whenever I come to Charlotte.

This my second time dining here, with the other rime being during lunch, and I really like this place. The standard menu is always available amd they have daily specials that the staff will explain to you when you are seated. The staff are very friendly and service is faster than expected with the place being as full as it is. The food is expertly prepared and tastes oh so good. I highly recommend making a reservation on their website in advance so you can be seated at the time of your choosing.

Located in Southpark, North Carolina, 131 Main, I was hungry and walking so I ducked in. This spot has a rustic charm ambience with big wood beams and leather booths. I had the Tuna Tartare Tower and Crab Cake Salad. The tuna was grade A tuna and the crab cake was lump crab. Both delicious. What stood out was the impeccable service provided by the knowledgeable hostess, who effortlessly recited the specials from memory. It was impressive. Some more highlights include patio firepits and an open kitchen to watch all the action. Great dining experience.

Went here last week for our wedding anniversary and it did not disappoint. We did place a reservation ahead of time and they were super nice and friendly throughout the night, they even got us a table towards the back for a little privacy. The staff went above and beyond. Now, for the fireworks....the food was 20/10. Absolutely delicious. I went with the blackened chicken pasta and it was some of the best pasta I've had in Charlotte! My wife had the filet Migon w/ the crab cake and mash potatoes and it was cooked perfectly, hats off to the chef! Overall I highly recommend this wonderful place and go taste this food. 10 stars Also: had deviled eggs and they was delicious. I'm very picky with those and I was very satisfied
