Awesome dinner!

by TYTY95 at Citysearch

We had reservations for a Saturday night and it was fantastic. The service was absolutely awesome. Our server was very knowlegeable about the specials, personable, and was extrememly polite. We started off with some bread which was nice, but lacked much flavor. I had the Caesar salad and it was probably the best I've ever had. For my main dish I had the filet mignon which was cooked perfectly and accurately. I also had a baked potatoe, no surprises just a decent potatoe. At our table we ordered mashed potatoes and sweet potatoes which were both fresh and delicious. For desert I had bananas foster bread pudding and it was super, but slightly too done. I enjoyed the atmosphere, I sat at the library which was a unique place to eat at. As the night went on it got nosier, but it wasn't awful. Overall I had a great time and a fantastic dinner.

• Pros: Food, interior design, service
• Cons: noise and menu selection

Food and service was excellent

by juni2 at Citysearch

My first visit to Sullivan's was great. Going back to celebrate Valentines Day. Fun and romantic atmosphere and great steaks and seafood. Love the Jazz too. One of the servers noticed the bottle of wine that we picked for dinner, he came over and told us about the winery that it actually came from, and after speaking to him we decided we?d take a tour someday. Our server was awesome, and the food and service was excellent.

• Pros: Food and Service
• Cons: No cons

Excellent Dinner at Sullivans

by wendijohnson at Citysearch

We had a great time at Sullivan's. My wife had the best Sea Bass that she had ever tasted. My steak was absolutely the most flavorful steak that I had ever eaten. To top things off, we listened to the live jazz in the bar and tried the Knockout Martini. I wish that I could make this at home. I had an unbelievable experience that will definately keep me coming back.

• Pros: Not pretentious
• Cons: too much food

Best Upscale Steakhouse in Town

Food, atmosphere, and service have always been superb here. I would pick Sullivan's over Mortons, the Palm, etc., any day.

• Pros: Service

Best steak in town, great service, great time

by appstate98 at Citysearch

Sullivan's is my favorite steakhouse in Charlotte. I love Ruth's Chris, McIntosh's, Cap Grille, but Sullivan's is my favorite. Great menu and I love the service. I have never had a bad experience there... I recommend the filet oscar. Good for dates, work, or buddies.

Best Steakhouse in town-fun, romantic atmosphere and great steaks AND seafood

by y2khardtop at Citysearch

Best in town! Perfect balance of romantic ambiance AND lively party atmosphere. Welcoming bar with great drinks, and a very comfortable dining room. Fresh flowers and boxing memorabilia fill the primary dining room, and the side room is a soft of library. Either way, as above, the balance is very nice. If you take the good half of Mortons, and the good half of The Palm, you end up with Sullivans!

Steaks are always great, very nice seafood menu, and the Lamb chops are my favorite. Don't forget desserts, as soufle' is a specialty of the house!

Great for a romantic night out, OR dinner with friends. Can't go wrong here

• Pros: Great atmosphere AND food for any occasion, romantic or entertaining!
• Cons: obviously pricey, can get a bit over-crowded at times

Celebratory Dinners, this is a great place for them!

by koolaidsmyl at Citysearch

I went with my boyfriend to celebrate a new job. I made the reservation and we arrived a few minutes early. We sat in the bar for a drink, but didn't have to wait long. The atmosphere was wonderful & our food was fantastic! It was definitely a good place for a celebratory dinner. Also would be a good choice for a romantic night.

• Pros: Valet service, great food!

Conditionally Excellent!!

by jbliss at Citysearch

You don't go to Sullivan's to eat and run. Even with a reservation, be ready for a wait. Know why? It's a VERY POPULAR place. A great atmosphere, live music, excellent food, and great drinks make it that way. So, I don't mind waiting too much.. I have eaten at all of the fine steakhouses in Charlotte, and I think Sullivan's ranks at the top right along with the best. The hostesses are not overly friendly, but I see them for about 5 seconds so that doesn't bother me. I go to have fun, not get pampered. Sullivan's sells me based on atmosphere. It's hard to combine the best of this and the best of that, but Sullivan's does it very well!! Outdoor seating and live music cap it off!!

• Pros: Patio, Live Music, Great Food
• Cons: The wait, Slightly pricey

45 Minute Wait - with Reservation -

by esslincr1979 at Citysearch

I have been to Sullivan's on several ocassions and I am in love with it. Having said that, my wife and I had a 8:45 reservation and was not seated until approximately 9:15. The hostess were terribly rude. However, the Maitre'd, made up for the rudeness by offering my wife and I a "make-up" dinner, on the house.

The blue cheese dressing on the lettuce wedge is to die for! The steak, a 24 oz porterhouse, was excellent - as was the Stone Crab, my appetizer. My wife had the smaller portion of the Strip and was in love with it. My only problem was the wait. Additionally, I wish they dry-aged steaks, as Ruth's Chris does - though the steak was definately a 9 on a 1 to 10 scale! Beef and Bottle is a low-class establishment that is fine if you're into supporting smoky - old restaurants.

• Pros: Stone Crab, Great Steaks - a 9, Excellent appetizers
