Searched for thread on this, but didn't see one.

Going to a stage production of CS Lewis' The Great Divorce in a few weeks in Charlotte. It's at the Knight Theater at 430 South Tryon. We want to get dinner after the show at a fairly nice place, preferably within walking distance from there. Thanks ahead of time.

I have never eaten there, but the Mimosa Grill is right there. I think it's about a block away, if that. It's supposed to be good.
 
Go to kings kitchen I think you would dig it. Good southern fair with a churchy type thing going on
 
I'd skip Mimosa. Halcyon is good - next door in the Mint Museum. Kings Kitchen is upscale southern food, staffed by homeless people - a Jim Noble concept. Ruths Chris and Flemings are a couple of blocks away. Bentleys is pricey but good and with a good view of the city. e2 - Emeril's new place - is open across the street from the theater. There are some good options in the Epicentre - 2-3 blocks away and an easy walk. BLT is in the Ritz - not my favorite but others seem to like it. And Luce is a favorite italian place - probably a 4-5 block walk but it's delicious.

Should I pass on trying Mimosa's at all? I've heard good things but we've never gone.
 
i would have it pretty far down my list. it feels like an upscale applebees to me.
 
Thanks all, some really good looking options. Will take a look at the menus and pick one.
 
Halcyon is probably your best bet over there if you are going for upscale and unique. I would also have Mimosa pretty far down the list. King's Kitchen doesn't do much for me, a little overpriced and the food is meh. I also don't like that the menu just gives the name and not any description (like Roosters). 5 Church is good but not as upscale and will be a younger crowd.

King's Kitchen is cool, not for profit restaurant that helps provide employment opportunities for folks looking for a "new start" with solid southern cuisine. Jim Noble also owns Noble's in W-S.

I would also take a look at Harvest Moon Grille. If you are feeling really fancy The Capital Grille and BLT Steak are both right around that area too.

Yeah, I was speaking relatively with regard to Uptown locations, it is a few blocks. But as someone who walks there regularly with women in heels, you may hear some complaints. Especially if it is cold at night, as it is like a wind vortex between the buildings.
