It's time to list some new restaurants as I'm bored with the ones I know. Here are some suggestions depending on what you're looking for:
Outside seating:
Village Tavern - Southpark - great patio but usually really crowded $20s
Thomas Street Tavern - Midwood - great place for a beer and just hanging out $10s
Lulu - Midwood - french themed southern food, different wine list. $40s-$50s
Roosters - Southpark -few seats but worth it if you can snag one $40s (mentioned in SL mag)
M5 - Southpark - way hip if you're into that scene and have some $$$
D&D Wine Bar - Southpark - best for wine and apps, not really dinner $20s-$30s
Zada Jane's - Midwood - never eaten dinner there but bfast is good
Intermezzo - Midwood - Friday night is 1/2 off martini's. Pizza is good, some of the other stuff has gotten mixed reviews.
Other restaurant ideas (I'm listing this as much for myself as for you):
Foskoskies - East Clt (next to Pike's Pharmacy) - haven't eaten here yet but heard it's awesome. Supposedly have outside seating but never been so can't comment.
Nolen Kitchen - Myers Park - I always forget this place but it's pretty good. Can be pricey depending on what you get.
New restaurant next to Breakfast Club - has anyone been there?? Strange location but it looks nice.
131 Main - supposedly owned by Houstons' people, some friends love it.
Other ideas??

Roosters - Southpark
New American
$57 - split tomato and feta salad, 1/4 spit roasted chicken, split pan fried corn, split peach/blackberry cobbler, 2 glasses wine ($97 total)
So my friend and I were trying to come up with a fun place for a glass of wine outside now that it's cooler and without a long wait. It was a shot in the dark at 7:15 on Saturday night but they had a table and we grabbed it. I love this place. The food was awesome, the portions are reasonable, everything is a la carte and it's moderately priced (for Charlotte). It's easy to split stuff so going with a friend is great. I've been here twice recently, once for dinner and once for just wine and dessert. They opened a wine bar in the back of the restaurant that's a little weird. Some nights it's packed and fun while this Saturday it was empty. It's probably used as a great place to celebrate something with lots of friends. I realize I featured this place a year ago but I've placed it as one of my faves recently if you're okay spending some cash. It's not cheap but it's really good.
