Charlotte
North Carolina is known as the Queen City. It was named after
Queen Charlotte who was a Patroness of the Arts and wife of England's
King George 111. It is a new Southern city with quite a few skyscrapers.
With big buildings, comes the dream of opening a restaurant where
the cuisine is as good as the panoramic skyline views.
We
were seated at a window table in this very stylish restaurant
and ordered cocktails to start. We loved our appetizer which was
a fresh and tasty Herb and Pepper Crusted Tuna Carpaccio with
soba noodles and soy mustard butter sauce. Next we enjoyed. The
Queen Charlotte Salad made with baby greens, shallots, pearl tomatoes,
and champagne vinaigrette.
The
12 oz Bourbon marinated Filet Mignon which came with wild rice
pilaf, sautéed mushrooms, grilled asparagus and delicious
truffle bordelaise sauce and the fresh Baked Sea Bass which came
with asparagus were both excellent entrees.
The
2008 North Coast California, B.R. Cohn Cabernet Sauvignon paired
perfectly with our dinners. A Sorbet Trio with berries and crème
fraiche dessert was the perfect finish to an excellent dinner.
Bentley's Restaurant on 27 with their talented Chef Martin Heller
has created cuisine which does live up to the fabulous views!
