131 MAIN Restaurant

We went to 131 in South Park. I hadn't been to this location before. They have 3 locations that I'm aware of Blakeney, Huntersville( super nice and small) South Park. This location was very nice. Reservations highly recommended. All locations have outdoor fire pits . We ordered two filets cooked to perfection. One of our party got a prime rib sandwich. We were celebrating my son Xan's 21 birthday ! Our server was wonderful recommending drinks. They have a nice bar with TV's about 1/3 as large as Blakeney . Our sides were cheese grits and fries. We also had the cornbread that I forgot to take a picture of because I was too excited to eat it, served either honey so delicious .. Banana cream pie for dessert

Back again and happy to be here. It was Wednesday so wine was half off a bottle. Excellent service and they have finally stopped the buss people from snatching plates as soon a plate is finished. Used to be that slow eaters found themselves eating while the rest of the party sat waiting.Grilled artichokes, always good to split with wife $16. Thai steak salad, large one $28. Two additional Caesar salads $8 each. Shrimp and grits $29. A monster of a double pork chop, done perfectly and not dry $32. Maryland Style Crab Cakes $46 and they were WONDERFUL. Hunks of crab barely held together with breading. Have not had them as good since being in Philly and Baltimore.A very fine place to bring a family or a few couples together for a meal. Bar also does a wonderful job.

Talk about a consistent menu and service! For starters, you're always going to win with the double dip or cornbread! 131 is the type of restaurant you can dine in and always get great service and mouth watering dish! I love that the crab cakes are full of meat and not loaded with fillers. The zucchini is grilled to perfection! Mashed potatoes yummers! My husband got the pasta and loved every bite! We love having date night here! The pls e to get steak and not break your pockets.

It had been a little while since dining here. I was in the mood for a Veggie Burger, in fact, the BEST VEGGIE BURGER EVER! Which comes with Kale and Quinoa Salad. My wife had the Lightly Blackened Halibut Tacos. As always the Service is OVER THE TOP! When my IIced Tea glass was nearly empty, a fresh one magically appeared. My only issue with 131 Main, and almost every other restaurant we dine at, is the cost of Iced Tea and Coffee. Yes the cost has increased but to charge $3.50 for a glass of Iced Tea is ridiculous. Many of the restaurants we eat at, especially at lunch, do not charge for it. I'm sure that at $1.25 for Iced Tea you'd still be profitable. Just my take on what I feel is an OVERCHARGE.

I love this place and 99.9% of the time we get exceptional service...but there's always that 1% that is still memorable. Today's experience made us feel like something was off. Nathaniel "Nate" was our server. I only know his name because I saw it on the card they place on your table when you're seated. When he approached the table 15 min later, he never introduced himself, never spoke to us about the menu nor the specials for that matter. He messed up the first part of our order, we had to ask for the proper utensil for the entree (he slid on the table) and it simply wasn't the standard by which 99.9% of their staff provides service. Hear me out, I'm not "that person" who complains. But I love this place so much, that it is negatively impactful when a server is sub par.

Today was an unfortunate experience at an old favorite. The sauce served with the lamb special was overpowering and flavored like balsamic vinegar. The kind waitress quickly addressed the concern; however, the manager failed to appear to check on the situation. Instead, we had the pleasure of enjoying the view of incoming wait staff change from their outdoor clothes into their work attire, hanger and all. Additionally, one staff member, in her non-work attire walked directly into the kitchen on arrival and passed a gloved chef a Starbucks beverage. Needless to say, the quality of service has fallen. Hopefully, time is taken to check on patrons in the future and attend to these problems.

We've always been fans of 131 Main, but our recent to-go order was disappointing. The burger wasn't cooked as ordered, and the salads not only came in small portions but also had the wrong dressings. To top it off, the chili, which we usually love, didn't come with chips or cheese. It just didn't feel like the quality and attention to detail we've come to expect from 131 Main. We hope this was just an off day but their Togo experience is definitely a NO

Holy moly.. the crabs cakes are amazing. The crab meat inside? So fresh it's like the ocean just high-fived your taste buds. And the fries? Crispy perfection. I asked for a side of the aioli to dip my fries in and it was delicious. My fiance got the NC rainbow trout but he ate EVERY bite of it with no complaints. We love 131 main and paired our meals with wine and an espresso martini!! Our server was terrific and very attentive & we love the dimer lighting making our whole dinner more intimate.

131 Main on Fairview at Southpark is consistently a great idea! The service, ambience and food are always on point. I recommend this place for a special occasion or just an everyday meal treat.

Haven't been to this location but didn't disappoint. Thanks Liz for wonderful service despite how long we sat at the table catching up. Recommendations were on point, food and drink delicious. Smoked salmon literally melts in your mouth. My friends birthday dinner was perfect. My new favorite location.
