Fiore

Located in Ballantyne Village parking is going to be a battle unless you park in the garage. Very relaxing atmosphere. The iPad menu is . Some entrees come with sides and some don't. We ordered the filet steak that came with mashed potatoes and asparagus. We also order the chicken limon which came with rice and veggies. Both dishes were solid. The filet was over cooked but that happens from time to time everywhere. Presentation was perfect. They have a great drink menu and the bar looks like something from an old mob movie. They make some great Smokey drinks. Would I go back? I'm not going to lie. I like this place and I'm giving a good review but I'm not going to rush back. I'll be back but I'm not in a hurry to return.

My friends and I planned a night out and luckily we found Fiore. This hidden gem was the perfect spot for shared plates, strong drinks and amazing care and service. Our server, Lily, was a delight and gave us great recommendations. The manager also was amazing and she came over with drinks and good conversation. Even the chef came out and talked to us about the dishes which gave us a chance to praise him and the kitchen for a delicious array of dishes.First, note that the menu is so cute and on iPads. The drinks range from inventive seasonal cocktails to classics. We opted for some light summery flavors and ordered a couple rounds of the watermelon spicy margarita, blackberry cocktail, a mojito and French 75's. We all raised our glasses to the bartender for her skills.For food we went straight to the tapas menu and that was the 2nd best decision we made that day. You can't go wrong with anything and we just about ordered everything. Here's what we got;- Brussels sprouts - A+++ (best in CLT)- Crab cakes - A (all crab)- Pork belly - A (great umami flavor)- Short ribs- A (the sauce is everything)- Shrimp gratan - A++ (spelled this wrong but the balance of flavors is amazing)- Scallops - A+++ (should have ordered 2)- Brie and almonds - A++ (I could eat this everyday)- Bang Bang Shrimp - A++ (so light and yummy, we ordered 2)Can't wait to come back with my husband and more friends before I can't get a reservation :) thanks for a wonderful experience.

I absolutely love ordering tapas with large groups. The service was impeccable, and for a Friday night, it wasn't overly crowded or loud. The short ribs were tender with a slight hint of spice. Brussels Sprouts, although they weren't crunchy, they were cooked well and had a great sweet and savory flavor. The crunchness of the almonds were a great touch. Simple yet delicious cesar salad with crouton and Ib added the bacon. Oh, and the potatoes were cooked to perfection, crispy on the outside with the tenders on the inside. Great spot for small or large groups.

Grandma's Shrimp & Grits were the most flavorful grits I've had. I do think there is a bit of salt added so maybe don't order the Bloody Mary with it like I did. Highly recommend ordering the Grilled Brie Cheese for a lunch or dinner small plate - it was the perfect softness to actually spread. The Braised Short Ribs were so tender, I would definitely order again. And of course the charcuterie board was top notch. My only dislike was I prefer my Espresso Martinis to be a bit creamier than this one was.

Okay, parking is very hard to find because it's in that common area with black Finn and hestia. So parking is limited in front of the restaurant but you can always park on the back of the building and or the parking deck. It wasn't as busy when we arrive on a Friday night around 7:30. Staff was nice and greetful. The interior is nice and especially the bathroom, it's picture perfect spot and very pretty and gorgeous lighting so you can get the perfect selfie. The only downfall is it's a one stall so waiting can be a while. We ordered the salmon which was decent but more so on the salter side. The pork belly was really good and sweet but the queso fundido was not my cup of tea. The queso inside wasn't the greatest and it wasn't what I was expecting. The drinks were strong, not my style but gotta drink what's the price is. I swear the Mexican maritini was straight up liquor. We also got the pretty in pink which was accompany by the fire among other drinks that I don't remember the name. Service was decent. Waiter was nice but didn't give us much attention due to attending to other tables. We were celebrating a bday so it was nice to give us a free crème brûlée. It was delicious. I like this place but I wouldn't bother to come again for the food. Also, their menu is smaller when it comes to their entree, they didn't have much to choose from as well as the menu all together itself is pretty small compared to other places.

So many great places to eat nearby, don't waste your money here. The ambiance is dark and dated, I think they want it to look sophisticated, but they missed the mark. The food is overpriced for the size and taste. Our food came out staggered and cold. Waitress was fine but they started cleaning the restaurant- mopping, spraying cleaning spray while numerous tables were still there EATING. Never again.

Cute place in ballentyne area. Parking is hard to find during meal hours, but there is a parking building behind Marriott hotel (need a bit walk).Somehow my reservation did not kick into the system, but the server took me and my friend in a nice manner. Menu was digital on a tablet, and there was a great selection of drinks.The mini size fillet mignon was impressive. 4oz was a good portion to share between the two of us and allowed us to order some more to taste.Besides us, there were several parties of ladies as well. Cool place to have conversations and enjoy a slow meal!

My husband and I had such a great time here during Queens Feast/Restaurant Week! We had made a reservation and were seated promptly. The manager actually sat us, and proceeded to tell us about other events coming to the restaurant. They've only been open for about 8 months, so it was very nice to hear! Our waitress was super nice, and she took our drink and food orders quickly. We loved the Rioja wine we ordered! All of the food was delicious, and it came out hot! The papas bravas were amazing, and I loved the Brussel sprouts with the bacon and cheese! The our entrees came, and my shrimp were cooked very nicely with the au gratin. I enjoyed the bread with it. We split the desserts, and loved both of them. We will definitely be coming back here for another date night soon!

Wow! That is how I would describe the service, atmosphere & most of all the food! We enjoyed a delicious brunch on Sunday 10/27/25. We devoured a perfectly seasoned & cooked ribeye with eggs over medium also prepared to our liking. We also enjoyed the French Toast that was equally well prepared. The French Toast was so good no syrup was needed!Thanks Kim & James for your attentive & pleasant service. See you again...soon! Maybe next time for dinner & music.

Food was decent but the service was poor. The bar staff was inattentive and just gossiping and arguing behind the bar for my entire meal. It felt like an Applebees. For $150, it was a poor experience.
