My wife and I visited this restaurant this evening after reading previous reviews. Â I had a New York strip steak and my wife had the beef Wellington along with the mushroom soup and she crab soup and the cream bulee for dessert. Â Our meal was awesome. Â I love finding local off the beaten path restaurants with character and great food. Â This place definitely fits the bill.
Review Source:We went to eat her for their Valentines Special. Â We did have reservations ahead of time and were seated promptly. Â There were three of us in out party since we had our 19 year old daughter along but they made sure that we were able to enjoy a lovely evening together. Â The food was great and very plentiful we all had food boxed up to take home. Â I will definitely go again.
Review Source:Most charming restaurant I've been to in a long time. Â During that lull between Christmas and New Year's I was looking for someplace different to take my 20 year old son to lunch. Â As we had an errand in Pineville I searched that area, and I'm glad I did! Â Maestro's is in a cozy house just off of the main street in Pineville. Â The decor was warm and inviting with lots of natural light coming through the windows in the area at of the back of the house where we were seated. Â I had the mushroom soup (delicious!) and my son had the lobster bisque (equally declicious!). Â He had the Oyster Po' boy and substituted the BLT salad for fries. Â I had the Fried Flounder sandwich with a BLT salad. Â Both meals were outstanding and showed attention to detail. Â The BLT salad was flavorful and fresh, and the sandwiches were perfectly prepared (we were both eyeing each others' meal! :) ) Â Service was also great--we enjoyed talking to Pam (one of the owners) and reading about the story behind Maestro's. Â I've already recommended to friends. Â We'll definitely be back!
Review Source:What a wonderful place! Â This restaurant is tucked away in the little town of Pineville and is literally a house converted into a culinary palace! Â Thank you, <a href="/redir?url=http%3A%2F%2FRestaurant.com&s=0aab4cbd731f3d3b0d1453050d3abc56a8c80bd214e25469c7555b750dca8a51" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">http://Restaurant.com</a>, for luring us into this place (because I'm sure we otherwise wouldn't come here). Â While the food is spectacular, the prices are a little bit on the higher end. Â Perfect for date night with that special boo.
Between my 3 friends and I, we got the brie appetizer, mushroom soup, beef wellington (fyi- needs to be requested ahead of time), crabcakes, and chocolate mousse cake. Â We did the ole family style tradition and tried each other's plates. Â Everything was so good, we ate to the brink of explosion- and then ate some more. Â The portions are generous but remember to leave room for dessert. Â The chefs main specialty is, after all, desserts!
Remember to take some time to read the story on the menu. Â This house is filled with experience, stories, and wonderful food. Â A must try for all my fellow Charlotte folks.
Wonderful experience! I was in town on business, looking for somewhere cozy.
Small, family-owned business, excellent food!
I had a nice merlot, wild mushroom soup, beef Wellington, coffee and the lemon tart. Â Everything was perfect! I would highly recommend this nice little, very personal restaurant.
We live about 15 minutes away. Went there last month for the first time and had no problem with either the food or service, although the drinks are skimpy. Pam, the co-owner, came to our table, introduced herself and was very welcoming.
This past Wednesday, I called and asked Pam for a 6:30 reservation for that Friday night. She was offered 6:15 or 6:45. Since my husband wasn't home to discuss this, I asked if it could be left at 6:30. After much wrangling, Pam finally said she could "fit us in."
When we got to the restaurant at 6:30, it was practically empty! Pam never came near our table the whole evening, although she was moving to every other table and talking to patrons.At the end of the meal, we gave the waitress a discount coupon. When she came back with the bill, she said that it was only good Tuesday or Thursday night, but Pam would give us the discount anyway. This is odd because we presented an identical coupon on our first visit on a Frday night and had no problem.
It was pretty obvious we were being snubbed and given a hard time-over a reservation issue in a half-empty restaurant! The entire incident was very bizarre. The food is OK but not worth the hassle. We won't be returning.
This is easily the best kept secret in Pineville. A mom and pop fine dining restaurant. I was able to chat with the cook (who is also the owner). Really low-key atmosphere but with great food. The restaurant is off the beaten path a little bit. It's in a 110 year-old house off Main St in Pineville. Had mushroom soup and creme brulee for lunch. The soup was excellent; however, the creme brulee was the best I've ever had. Maestro's has daily specials which adds a little mystery to the menu; I think one of the specials when I was there was mint chocolate chip cheesecake. This is one of those little out-of-the-way places that you always hope to find. It's the kind of place that you can ask for "the usual", and you get the same table with your favorite entree. This is absolutely perfect for impressing a date. The unique atmosphere, combined with the small town/independent feel, and the excellent food adds up to a 5-star rating.
Review Source:I couldn't disagree more with the previous reviewer. Unfortunately they had a bad experience, but don't ever let that deter you from trying a restaurant a second time. My husband and I went to Maestro's tonight and had what I think is the BEST meal I have had in Charlotte. The ingredients were all extremely fresh and you could tell the owner puts his heart and soul into his cooking. He makes EVERYTHING on site from the hot rolls to the luscious deserts. You must try the wild mushroom soup, the baked brie and the chocolate mouse cake creme Analise. Awesome and we will go back as fast as we can. Good and different wine menu as well.
Review Source:We went here for Charlotte Restaurant Week. Â We had reservations for 7:45 and we were seated promptly. Â However, it was twenty minutes before we were approached by a server. Â Keep in mind the restaurant was only half full. Â The waitress finally came by and took our orders. Â She was a bit short with us. Â We ordered the cornflour dusted oysters as an appetizer. Â I think these were the best part of the meal. Â They were deep fried oysters served with hot sauce. Â About an hour after we ordered, the waitress came to our table and asked me a pointed question, "Are you two waiting on your entrees?"
I wanted to say something smart ass like no we are waiting for a bus, but I'm too nice for that. Â She said the entrees would be out in a minute and got them about 15 minutes later. Â A full hour and 15 minutes since we ordered them. Â (We arrived at the restaurant at 7:45 and got our check at 10) Â I had the Black & Bleu Filet Mignon. Â It was ok. Â I thought the best part of the dish was the two waffle fries sticking out of the mashed potatoes. Â The atmosphere of this restaurant doesn't make sense to me. Â They have what looks to be two framed posters near the foyer. Â One of Bach and the other of Beethoven. Â The rest is random old/posh looking items. Â I won't be returning to this restaurant because of the bad service and bland food.
