Bentley's Restaurant

Incredibly good restaurant!Staff is trained, food is amazing, place is beautiful!A little pricey but definitely a good place to celebrate something and splurge out with bae .Good parking lots around!

Now THIS restaurant has a good wine list with wine from Harlan and Chappelet. Bentley's Restaurant is a French and American fusion spot. The ambiance is chic and beautiful. We had the tuna appetizer, stuffed shrimp & scallops. The unique French tableside preparation adds a special touch of magic! You must have the night cap/dessert with the chocolate martini. Yum! Jim Emad, the chef/owner behind Bentley's, brings over 40 years of experience to the Charlotte restaurant scene. This spot is impressive and the food is excellent. Well done!

My husband and I went here for dinner on a Friday evening, and our service was the best part. The ambiance is nice, and the food was good. My husband really enjoyed his ribeye, and the sole fish was VERY good. My husband said he also really enjoyed his lobster bisque. I wasn't able to eat the crab cake but I am also pregnant so that could have been my hormones at the time. We had another engagement so we weren't able to stay for dessert but otherwise we would have.Overall we had a nice time and would return (probably when I'm not pregnant), for a nice night out.

My husband and I recently returned here to celebrate our 8 year wedding anniversary. This was our second time back in 8 years. We had our rehearsal dinner here when the restaurant was still on the 27th floor of a building in uptown.I thought the food was good but not as enjoyable as I remembered; however, I do highly recommend the oysters bentley (creamed spinach, parmesean and panko) as an app. The oysters are delicious and honestly the most flavorful thing we ate. 5 stars on those for sure.I also ordered a caesar salad and my husband had lobster bisque. I'd rate both of these a 3 out of 5.For my entree, I ordered the 8 oz filet which came with fingerling potatoes, wild mushrooms and artichokes. The filet was cooked to the right temperature but I felt it was a little lacking in flavor, and while the mushrooms were decent, I just wish there was more variety in the side dishes and accompaniment options.My husband had the lamb chops and said they were good but he wasn't raving about them. The mushroom risotto that came with it was flavorful, and I enjoyed a few bites of it.We ordered one of their cheaper bottles of wine which was still $60. Be prepared to spend a pretty penny. We considered taking our own but they have a $50 corking fee so... eek.We didn't order dessert but they did bring us a complimentary eclair for our anniversary that was okay at best. I won't complain much about that since it was complimentary after all, and who am I to turn down a free dessert?The service was okay but I didn't necessarily feel like a valued guest. Our server kept our wine glasses filled up so points for that, I guess. We noticed the owner making rounds and chatting it up with what appeared to be a few "regulars" or people who "looked like him." I kept wondering if he might ever stop by our table. He walked by and acknowledged us with a bit of a head nod but I didn't really feel like he cared.I miss the old Bentleys when it was uptown with it's breathtaking views of the city. The food and service seemed better then too. This place will always hold a special place in our hearts since it's where we had our rehearsal dinner but I feel there are other "fancy" restaurants in Charlotte at similar price points that have more flavorful options and better service.

Great location with good ambiance. The service could be better but nothing to complain about. Food were okay, we had the french onion soup, lobster bisque, lamb chops and the chateaubriand bouquetiere which were great. The only down side is the oysters were not properly cleaned and tasted not too fresh.

Our first visit to Bentley's. We went for NYE, normally not a fan menu of prefixed menus. But Bentleys was definitely an exception. Wonderful meal, great ambiance. A nice size restaurant, you never feel crowded. We can not wait to go back. Two minor items; 1) never received our bread, 2) they didn't clean the tables after people left ( I understand if you don't need the table but having a couple of dirty tables around you has an impact on the ambiance. Bread we didn't miss but the tables at a restaurant of this caliber should always be clean. Hopefully we will score a 5 next time!

Amazing ambiance, calming atmosphere. All the servers were well versed in the menu and took extreme care of us. Went to a group dinner here. Parking is very convenient. Food was top-notch, especially the dessert.

Wonderful experience. Perfect venue for a wedding. Food was so good! Would recommend if you're planning a wedding in the Charolette area

Great service. The team work between waiters was great. Food was very yummy. Restaurant is not busy at all. Beautiful area of Charlotte. We walked around after. Was disappointed I didn't get a birthday cake when we marked birthday to make reservation oh well.

This restaurant was absolutely amazing! The atmosphere is beautiful. The food was excellent and the service we received from our waiter Taylor was exceptional. My favorite dish was the caviar sampler absolutely worth every dime! The escargot was delicious.
