McNinch House - Charlotte

Amazing trip back in time surrounded by beautiful antiques in a century plus stately old home. Food was delicious, highest quality fare with excellent service. A real treat for a special occasion!!

Best part was the wine pairing with new Som Terrell Johnson. He’s exceptional! It made a very good meal exponentially better!

Great staff. Food was very good but portions are small especially for the price. I left a bit hungry still.

By far one of the best food experiences I've had in Charlotte to date. From the staff, to the ambiance, to the food...everything about the McNinch house had class. I made an early evening dinner reservation and chose to do the Chef's tasting with wine pairing. My server was Terrell Johnson who is also the lead Somm. I loved that he gave a little history about the house prior to diving into the menus. He listened to all our preferences and paired our wines perfectly to every single course. His knowledge is so vast and his service was impeccable!!! The stars of the show (wine/food) for me were the following: Chenin Blanc from India Pinot Noir from South Africa Reising from Germany (dessert) Artichoke and Leek soup Pork cheeks Rosemary Dijon crusted rack of New Zealand lamb

We went to McNinch House for a special occasion. This is an experience that exceeded my expectations. As someone who is well traveled and has eaten in numerous dining establishments (30+ countries and 49 US states), this is a place that could compete for a nomination in James Beard awards in my opinion. The service, food, wine, and staff was excellent. The attention to detail was exceptional. Plates, silverware, and glasses were meticulously polished and tied to the design cues of the era. A step back in time to the fine dining experience of the early 20th century, with more modern cooking techniques and products including the wine pairing. Overall a great experience, even more so for someone who appreciates early 20th century fine dining (I'm looking at the Titanic fan crowd).
