Ink N Ivy

Cool atmosphere and decent service, but my shrimp alfredo was just ok. Definitely overpriced. There wasn't a lot of food or shrimp in the dish for $18. There was more broccoli than anything, but luckily I like broccoli. It wasn't as creamy as I would've like and it was missing something. I've had way better alfredo. The food was decent, but I probably wouldn't return or I'd try another dish.

Our server, Taylor, was awesome! I also thoroughly enjoyed the charred brussel sprouts. The $4 Sam Adams was perfect and the $5 Tito's was exactly what my girlfriend wanted. The salmon fresca was just okay... The salsa was good but the salmon was very fishy. Also this plate just comes with plain rice and very plain steamed broccoli. If they paired this salmon (fresher salmon) with the sprouts and a seasoned rice it would have been much better. What brought this from 4 stars to 3 stars was the bartender with blue hair. We have no problem with a 40 minute wait when there is an event going on; however, her attitude was very uncalled for. Even on the patio, another guy said he was going to ask her about bar seating but after he heard her response to us he wasn't about to sit at the bar even if it was okay.

My lady and I dropped in for dinner Friday evening (5pm). There were no wait times and seating available. This location is in Uptown Charlotte so be prepared to pay for parking. There is a decent sized lot off the patio area at a rate of $12 for 24 hours. I love the ambience at Ink N Ivy. Nice & clean, well decorated and spacious. Great place for entertaining. They have nice bar area with ample seating and flat screens everywhere. Now the food. We ordered the Spicy Lamb Meatballs as an appetizer. The taste was pretty good but they weren't spicy at all and needed more seasoning. For entrees, we ordered the Blackened Chicken Pasta and Salmon Fresca with a side of Mac N Cheese. Both entrees were delicious but the Mac N Cheese...oooweee! Cheesy, gooey, and creamy goodness with a crispy top. Must have! The staff was nice and friendly. Our waiter did an excellent job. We will return.

This was our first time at Ink N Ivy and the location is great, walking distance from the Panthers stadium and Knights ball field. The food was actually pretty good, slightly over priced for the portion sizes but you should expect that when you come to a place attempting to be unlike your typical bar. Talking about the drinks, they were very well made, so kudos to the bartender. We went on a beautiful Saturday afternoon, so as to be expected there was a slight wait, not overly crowded but the "Waitlist" option worked great and we were seated at our designated time slot. Our only complaint was our server was slightly inattentive and it was so evident that her manager had to address her about it. It really wasn't an issue for us as we were not in a rush but it needed to be stated to be fair on our review.
