This restaurant is eye popping with beauty. I loved all the different areas and art. First time in Charlotte and I went here to meet with my sorority sister. We walked right in and sat at the bar. The food was good but the drinks were better! The mimosa carafe was small but it was worth it. The atmosphere was very chilled. Parking is a hassle and if you are new to the area read the signs, pay to park, and drive slow you could miss the place. It seems to be in a downtown type area on a one-way.

Post tax season jaunt to Charlotte and we headed straight from the airport to the Ink and Ivy. The environment is very hip and looking forward to coming back to see the nightlife scene. They have a great patio as well as plenty of indoor seating surrounded by a wall of of TVs tuned to all sports so you won’t miss any big moments. As far as food goes, we went all in on the bevies and complimented that with fried foods - a pairing I would highly recommend. But in all seriousness, our waitress Polina was great - very efficient and ensured drinks and food were delivered timely and as ordered. And our food was quite tasty. The sweet and spicy shrimp was the perfect blend of sweet and spicy. Looking forward to coming back for the night scene.

My lady and I dropped in for dinner Friday evening (5pm). There were no wait times and seating available. This location is in Uptown Charlotte so be prepared to pay for parking. There is a decent sized lot off the patio area at a rate of $12 for 24 hours. I love the ambience at Ink N Ivy. Nice & clean, well decorated and spacious. Great place for entertaining. They have nice bar area with ample seating and flat screens everywhere. Now the food. We ordered the Spicy Lamb Meatballs as an appetizer. The taste was pretty good but they weren't spicy at all and needed more seasoning. For entrees, we ordered the Blackened Chicken Pasta and Salmon Fresca with a side of Mac N Cheese. Both entrees were delicious but the Mac N Cheese...oooweee! Cheesy, gooey, and creamy goodness with a crispy top. Must have! The staff was nice and friendly. Our waiter did an excellent job. We will return.

Amazing experience! Good and drinks were awesome. My friends and I had a wonderful time. We were out celebrating a birthday. We definitely go back next time we visit the area. We arrived a few hours before closing time it was a steady crowd. As the night went on the crowd died down giving us a chance to play Jenga and Connect Four. I ordered fries and drinks. The host that was taking drinks was a bit rude. I think she thought we were intoxicated and was tired. But we warmed her up.

This location is prime!! Right by the stadiums and downtown. They have both indoor and outdoor seating and daily specials. Word of caution, don't think about sitting at the bar if you are on the wait list, bartenders will call you out. I bartended for 8 years, so many thoughts, but just be nice about it and offer to cash out for your guests drinks while they wait and assure they will be seated shortly. No need to tell them they can't be helped if they are on the wait list. Over server Taylor was sweet and took good care of us or I would have given less stars. The environment is fun and lots to look at inside.

This was our first time at Ink N Ivy and the location is great, walking distance from the Panthers stadium and Knights ball field. The food was actually pretty good, slightly over priced for the portion sizes but you should expect that when you come to a place attempting to be unlike your typical bar. Talking about the drinks, they were very well made, so kudos to the bartender. We went on a beautiful Saturday afternoon, so as to be expected there was a slight wait, not overly crowded but the "Waitlist" option worked great and we were seated at our designated time slot. Our only complaint was our server was slightly inattentive and it was so evident that her manager had to address her about it. It really wasn't an issue for us as we were not in a rush but it needed to be stated to be fair on our review.

The wait was not long. The service was great. The food order was not the best. The burger was dry and the bread that it came in was thick. The fires were fried to perfection though. Very spacious and you could come with a large group of people and be accommodated.

I don’t even know where should I even start. We were waiting for almost 15 minutes by the door to be seated and then our server decided to give us 15 more minutes, just to order some drinks. And finally when we placed our order. The waitress didn’t get them all. He got the two burgers, but he didn’t get appetizers and sizes we ordered so we had to wait extra time after our food got on the table. Now let’s get the food. The food was taste less. I never thought a burger be with no taste, or a burger you could never go wrong with it, right? Well here you can have a girl was seriously tasteless. No taste at all. I want to throw it away so bad but I don’t like to throw away food I don’t wanna sound like a Karen but I seriously did not like anything about this place but the atmosphere and the view.

Our server, Taylor, was awesome! I also thoroughly enjoyed the charred brussel sprouts. The $4 Sam Adams was perfect and the $5 Tito's was exactly what my girlfriend wanted. The salmon fresca was just okay... The salsa was good but the salmon was very fishy. Also this plate just comes with plain rice and very plain steamed broccoli. If they paired this salmon (fresher salmon) with the sprouts and a seasoned rice it would have been much better. What brought this from 4 stars to 3 stars was the bartender with blue hair. We have no problem with a 40 minute wait when there is an event going on; however, her attitude was very uncalled for. Even on the patio, another guy said he was going to ask her about bar seating but after he heard her response to us he wasn't about to sit at the bar even if it was okay.

$3.00 Mimosas!! The wait wasn't long and our food came out pretty fast. This is one spot I will definitely visit again.

Celebrating a birthday at this restaurant and it was a good place to chill, eat and not be crowded on a Monday. But the parking lot is at your own risk.

The atmosphere was exactly what I was looking for in a sports bar/restaurant. We had a group of four and we’re seated promptly on a Saturday around 7:30pm. There were several college football games on their myriad of TVs, which I liked! The drink specials were phenomenal. The fried mushrooms were delicious. I ordered the chicken sandwich, which I thought was average tasting. Other than that, I highly recommend this spot!

They have a wonderful deal on Fridays! Well drinks for $5. I'm sure the food is tasty. It smelled great. Not a far walk from the light rail as well!

The reservation was highly recommended as a must go to while in uptown Charlotte. I expected it to be very expensive but I was please to see everything on the menu was very reasonably priced. I ordered the “poisoned Ivy” drink which was recommended my the waiter as a very popular choice. I didn’t really care too much for the taste of it … but because I’m not wasteful o did drink it all. For food I ordered Blackened Chicken Pasta Char-Grilled Chicken, Linguine, Blackened Cream Sauce, Tomato, Bacon, Scallion. I was very pleased especially because I love pasta ! The set up & design of the restaurant was very cool for pictures. I was told the back opens up to like a club like atmosphere so I have to come back to check that out. I would come back again & I do recommend.

The restaurant is beautiful 😍! The service was okay I felt like our waitress got missing for long periods of time and it was pretty slow. The chicken was dry but the pasta was good. The salmon was pretty tasty. The brussel sprouts was dry as well. The drinks were very light.

The place was highly recommended by a some locals. The location was good, well lite with lights. The bouncers were nice when I arrived, server could have cared less. When I left I asked the other bouncers about similar places and recieved a rude gesture.

Cool atmosphere and decent service, but my shrimp alfredo was just ok. Definitely overpriced. There wasn't a lot of food or shrimp in the dish for $18. There was more broccoli than anything, but luckily I like broccoli. It wasn't as creamy as I would've like and it was missing something. I've had way better alfredo. The food was decent, but I probably wouldn't return or I'd try another dish.
