Horrible service, rude waitstaff!

by partyp07

Wentin at 10:00 with a party of 10 and the waiter could not have been ruder. We had to tell him that we wanted a certain bottle of wine 3 times before we actually got it. In addition, a few guys at our table got the wrong bottle of wine and waiter could have cared less! They took our food away from the table before we were finished. Dont think well be back there again. Only reason I gave 1 star was for the location...

Best Burger Ever!!!

by RTF565

I was completely skeptical when I read in the E&T Cosmos Cafe had created a $35 hamburger. My wife begged me to take her Uptown for dinner, so I suggested we check out the burger. Atmosphere was nice- server was excellent and the food was even better! Our server- male-was awesome and made some really nice drink and food recommendations. My wife ordered the fish special- perfectly cooked and I ordered the burger...........TO DIE FOR!!!!!!! We are from NYC and not since my days dining there have I had such creative food. Praise for Cosmos Cafe for not "dumbing" up their food for the typical Charlotte palette. We will definitely be back~

• Pros: Best food and service
• Cons: Parking

bad customer service all around

by agpens

Saturday night.5:30 ish

The cstomer service was bad from the beginning of our visit.

The girls at the front door were pleasant, but the one that seated us just took off as if she was busy...? We were the only customer there. she placed the menus on the table and left before we were at the table, she looked back to make sure we were at the right table ( I guess) I told my husband why didn't she just toss them over the "balcony "and say...to us there you go... I was kinda kidding

That was odd...

The waitress pleasant but .... The service was terrible. She messed up my main course, order. I cxould not finish my meal. I asked for the sauce on the side..The food was ok; but ...the service made the experiece awful.

We ordered a dessert that had the option of ice cream, the ice cream came after we had finished our dessert... by some one else not our waitress The coffee was awful.

I will not recommend this , sorry to the chef and the owners. They need to retrain their staff

when your order gets so messed up and the service is bad you do not remember if the food was ok ;you remember the awful experience !! Thumbs down !!

• Pros: we know not to go there again
• Cons: service

Good times

by panarican098

Cosmo's is the best place to be on a Thurs. night (latin night) The stage is converted to a dance floor and everyone is dancing to great salsa, meringue and reggaeton music. Go upstairs for drinks cuz the downstairs bar is too crowded. Free to get in and a guaranteed good time.

• Pros: free, good music, classy
• Cons: crowded

Ultra-hip lounge and tapas bar ups Charlotte's cool factor.

by Contributor

In Short
This is uptown's most downtown restaurant: black-clad servers, blaring techno music, abstract art on the walls. It's like Charlotte bypassed its Atlanta phase and moved straight to New York City. The eclectic menu features tapas--everything from dim sum to calamari--wood-fired pizza and made-to-order sushi. Two bars, a circular downstairs bar and the more intimate Thirsty Camel Lounge, add to the scene.

It's okay

by newcomer18

The bartenders tend to be slow at times, but 1/2 off martini nights are a good time. Age tends to be mid 20's and up.

• Pros: Martinis, Atmosphere

Sexy, not Snobby

by MissElisabeth

Classy without being pretentious, there's no cover, usually minimal wait but still a pretty full house, great crowd, sexy bartenders, two levels... it's one of our favorite places to go when we don't have any specific destination. More than once we've gone intending to start the night there but finishing it there too. Expect to see lots of toned men in snug black slacks and lots of ladies averaging about 5 years younger in age than their male counterparts. The best things have got to be the all night food (it's not the hugest selection, but covers all your major appetizers and then some), the expansive martini list...

• Pros: No Cover, Great Drinks, Parking

Yechh

by fredflunk

This place might be OK if it fired its management staff. watch out for the big, dumb looking-guy (whoops, there is no monopoly on rudeness and stupidity here. You may have to look around a bit). And no, I'm not nor ever have been an employee of Cosmos. I just had the worst restaurant/bar experience of my life in the place.
