Incredible food, service, and atmosphere. Gorgeous interior, open kitchen. Phenomenal cocktail list that is very reasonably priced considering the high quality. Wine by the bottle is like ten bucks over retail price. Draft beer section is mainly local, but with some well curated out of state brands. My Wicked Weed Pernicious IPA was fresh and delicious. Food is AMAZING. Deviled eggs and smoked trout mousse appetiser were on point. Charred Octopus was some of the best I've had. Frisse salad took greens to another level, the Stoke family bacon just may change your life. We can not wait to come back. Exceptional.
We had a great experience at Stoke. The craft cocktails and donut were a great way to get our meal started. The food to follow was fantastic as well. The high point, was service. The hostess and server were amazing!!! I believe our server’s name was jamila. Again, she was GREAT!!!
A couple weeks ago I headed to Stoke for some cocktails with a few coworkers. This was the first time any of us had been and we were pleasantly surprised. We learned that the establishment places a large emphasis on being a part of the community by using local ingredients and serving products from the surrounding area. Stoke offers many of the Charlotte and North Carolina beers which placed the state on the craft brewery map. Some of the beers on tap include NoDa Brewing Company, Wooden Robot Brewery, Triple C Brewing Co. and Wicked Weed Brewing. They also have a great list of unique craft cocktails. Many of the cocktails on their menu are old classics with a twist. We learned that one of these concoctions, The Uptown Sour, intrigued a Marriott executive so much that he jumped on a plane so he could try it for himself! The desire to use local ingredients can also be seen in their food. We had a few of their appetizers (pretzel brioche, beef bone marrow, crispy oysters) which were all amazing. We could tell that this group understands the importance of top notch service when the Director of Eat Drink, Sean Potter, delivered our appetizers to our table providing us with an informative description of the ingredients and preparation techniques. The staff was friendly, helpful and attentive. I loved Stoke's open kitchen design which compliments the modern yet welcoming atmosphere very well. Although the restaurant is located within the Charlotte Marriott City Center, this is definitely not your average hotel restaurant. Chef Chris Coleman is doing a fantastic job which has created national attention. Stoke was listed on USA Today's Top 20 Restaurants to Try This Fall (2016) and that's a well-deserved accolade. You should definitely add Stoke to your must try list in Charlotte.
Our server Mike was awesome! This was our first time at Stoke. We loved the atmosphere and the food was delicious! We had the deviled eggs, fish special, pork shank, Mexican street corn and fingerling potatoes! Topped it all off with the ludicrous 1 pound doughnut! Would definitely recommend Stoke!
I wish I could give more stars. This is the best in Charlotte right now. Just outstanding. Last night was our third visit. Took our employees there to celebrate a great few weeks. Ordered a bit of everything. Charred octopus appetizer is one of the things that brings us back every time. We shared everything family style, meat and cheese plate, Lamb shoulder, pork shank, ribeye, One of all the seasonal veggies. I'd love to say what was the best but that was our debate on the way home because everything was fantastic.
