Restaurant Constance: A New American Culinary Gem in Charlotte

What a fantastic meal! Restaurant Constance is one of our favorite meals in Charlotte. Our server Kyle was attentive and very knowledgeable about every aspect of the menu, including great wine and mocktail recommendations. The menu features fresh ingredients and local produce. Each dish feels very intentional with attention to every aspect of your experience. Their ability to complement flavors and textures on a plate is exceptional. Persimmons are currently in season and were featured across the menu. Some of our highlights were the seared scallops with pureed sunchoke and a citrus chili ginger sauce, and the persimmon bread pudding with cinnamon cream and prickly pear puree. Even aside from some of the heavy hitters like the short rib and steamed mussels, the small details like the whipped butter on focaccia and flaky crepe crumbles sprinkled on top of the dulce de leche ice cream were equally delicious. In my opinion, Restaurant Constance is worth all the hype!

Went for a late Valentines day dinner last Wednesday. Showed up 30 minutes early, we were worried about checking in that early. Front of house was pleasant and polite. We were seated less then 10 minutes later. Offered a drink menu, we wanted wine. However me and the wife have no idea what to order. Their In-house wine specialist suggested a great Rose. Our server was prompt, thanked us for dinning with them. Informed us on Wednesday they have a 3 course special (starter, main, dessert) which was reasonably priced. Recomended the Momos and Fried Okra and pork belly salad. OMG One of the best salads I have ever had. Sounds heavy but it was not. Braised short Rib on Orzo and Cajun Shrimp and Grits for the mains. Both done beautifully. I cannot remember what the dessert was called but what a way to end. If you need a fusion of a chill environment and a higher end eating experience, this is your place. We will be back.

Wow! I was so (positively) surprised. We had our reservation at 7.30 and got seated around 8 - but it was worth every minute to wait .. and got even better. The service was so friendly and nice and apologized, even got free apps and a drink. And the food? I think this will be one of my top restaurants ins Charlotte. Cozy atmosphere, locally sourced ingredients, you can literally see into the kitchen, friendly server, feels like dining at a friend’s house. We went on a Tuesday and they had their $65 special for a 3 course menu. And for that quality of food? And you might think oh the portions will be small .. no! You will take some home with you because you cannot finish it but you don’t wanna waste any bite of it. I am so so happy with our experience even if we waited a bit - and I hate waiting (lol). I will 100% come back. Highly highly recommend!! One of my top 3 in Charlotte. (If you need to use the restroom you will be surprised with some pictures of the crew and their pets .. I mean - that’s a perfect end of a perfect dinner)

This is a fast favorite for an elevated dining experience. Food is always exquisite (my second time here). They have a succinct menu with a good variety. They periodically adjust the menu to the seasons to ensure their food quality and maintain their creativity. This would be a prime spot for a date night, birthday celebration or culinary adventure with a fellow foodie. I only took one photo this go round, but be assured the presentation was a part of the experience as well. This is a spot where you need a reservation since there is limited seating. Also, the 90 minute window is plenty of time to enjoy your meal.

The meal was absolutely outstanding and unlike anything I have tried before. There was an incredible variety of creative dishes, all coming together in a surprisingly smooth and exciting way. Each mouthful offered something new and enjoyable, turning the entire experience into a memorable journey of flavors.

The service was truly outstanding. They shared fascinating stories and explained everything in detail, not just the cooking process but also the local ingredients right in front of us. The food was absolutely amazing. I have never experienced so many unique dishes blended together so perfectly. Every bite felt like a new discovery.

Restraint Constance is a true 5/5 experience very worth the value. Phenomenal food that is very well thought through incorporating local flavors and inspirations. Every dish was an act on a stage the environment was well designed to meet the casually refined experience. This is the perfect spot for a get together or date. Great food without the unnecessary melodrama of black tie fin dining. Restaurant constance is a must try

When I go out to eat it is 90% about the quality of food. The other 10% is a mix of the experience. How friendly the staff is, the location, etc. Because of this, there is a lot of restaurants that disappoint. This one does not. Food was all great. I would be excited to return sometime and try some other things off the menu. I really appreciated the fact that they had non-alcoholic cocktail options for those of us that do not drink, but want something special to celebrate an occasion. We ordered many things, and everything met or exceeded expectations. (And my expectations were pretty high as this restaurant came highly rated through Reddit and other sources. We had one of their raw appetizers, duck confit salad, the lamb, and the scallops. I was expecting a pan-fried lamb and this was more of a roast, However it was still really good. That was no fault of theirs. I just didn't pay enough attention when I ordered it. And like I said I was happy with it anyways. I'll definitely come back when I'm in the area again. This restaurant was the perfect blend of fine dining mixed with semi-casual and a good vibe. Keep up the good work!
