704-332-6507 | | | | | Description: SOUTH END. 300 East has a sophisticated European feel a bit Bohemian, a bit Champs-Elysées and always makes for a memorable evening. The antique mahogany bar is where you'll find one of the best martinis anywhere, and, unlike some bars, 300 East's food is the perfect complement to your libations. They also boast a full Sunday brunch menu, including veggie eggs Benedict and a light breakfast of bagels and fruit. Sandwiches, salads and selected entrées are also available. On seasonable days, snag a table on the outside patio surrounded by cascading lantana and black-eyed susans.

The scene inside features sharp, contemporary angles, recessed lighting and smartly appointed tables. The influence of France, meanwhile, shines through in dishes like veal chop with snow peas and bacon-whipped potatoes or mahi mahi with crimini mushrooms and carrot-ginger sauce. In addition, Bentley's employs a guéridon (a cart used for tableside cooking) to add a touch of theater to the dining experience.

704-525-8865 | | | | | Description: SOUTH BOULEVARD. Eastern North Carolina style, South Carolina style, forget the distinctions...this is just plain "suey-perb" barbecue. The meat is slow roasted for a smoky, rich and tender culinary experience. You add the sauce (however much or little) you prefer. The hushpuppies are hot, the tea is sweet, and the staff is pleasing! So, bring your appetite and save room for some "nanner puddin'" (banana pudding).

Monticello certainly does its part to enhance the experience by delivering impeccible dishes like tuna steak Oriental, Lowcountry-style shrimp and grits, and tournedos duxelle in a setting that recalls European elegance. NB The restaurant is open for afternoon tea Friday-Sunday, but reservations must be made 24 hours ahead of time.
