south charlotte would prolly do too. been living in charleston the last 5 months and completely lost my barring on it all.

take that bitch to the arboretum. bitches love the arboretum.

11/2/2011 2:45:19 AM

sounds like a good idea. on the other side of charlotte from me, but then again that didn't stop me from taking her to trivia tonight at flying saucer

11/2/2011 3:08:47 AM

right off 485 and 74 in matthews

11/2/2011 6:39:18 AM

my wife and i went to an italian place (the name escapes me, but it was from the charlotte restaurant thread)...we wanted a place that was more authentic (ie. not olive garden-esque)

we spoke with the owner (an italian woman) and we ended up getting multiple limoncello cream shots when we told her it was our anniversary...food was amazing, service was great

it wasn't a very dressy place, though (not that it needed to be, but i suppose my point is that it only lacked "ambiance")

11/2/2011 6:42:40 AM

theres a really good german resterant in pineville its called the waldhorn, that place is really nice and decent priced. also ghangis grill in ballentine is good mongolian food. here are some other places in south charlotte

-fox and the hound
- zapatas mexican cantina
-creole

Def. try the waldhorn.. i give that place 10/10

Yeah that place used to be Dolce Gelato, about a year, year and half ago they decided to do full food and just went to Dolce.

dont go to fox & hound or zapatas.

i mean sure theyre alright but you could splurge a little bit.

Southwest charlotte? Probably your best bet is the chili's express at the airport

11/2/2011 10:18:52 AM

^ ha.

Yeah, there's not much in Southwest Charlotte. You could go to the shopping center on South Tryon near 485, but I think all you have there is Chili's. A little further down on Tryon and you have a Wild Wing's cafe haha.

I would recommend going a little further East into the Ballantyne area. Waldhorn is also pretty awesome, but it's a German restaurant and not known for being romantic.

11/2/2011 10:27:30 AM

^^ Ballantyne has several good options - right there of 485 there is an upscale looking shopping center that I've been to with the wife's family a few times (intersection of 521 (Johnston Rd) and Ballantyne Commons Parkway). Always been good times around there.

Been to the Fox and Hound, the Italian joint, and the Mexican place too

Miro in Stonecrest.

Or, head to the ballantyne village. You could catch dinner there and a movie.

HAHA

Some friends and I went there one night, after an early night of drinking, and out of curiosity. Awkward, and depressing--much more so that a normal strip club. The strippers were given the address to a house, where we would be at a party the next weekend. It set it up for a memorable experience.

131 Main. Off Rea and Ardrey Kell. Best restraunt with good prices. delish food. My bf and I also Love Love Love Flying Biscuit in Stonecrest. Tequila's next to trader joe's off Rea. ummmmmm, soooo many.

[Edited on November 2, 2011 at 12:56 PM. Reason : as far as mexican goes, salsa's in carmel commons, they have live music friday and saturday night.]

11/2/2011 12:54:17 PM

I'm going to 131 Main in Dilworth tonight. Never been there but my friend I am going with LOVES it. Also going to 300 East on Saturday. I would suggest some down south or southwest if I knew of great places out there.

11/2/2011 12:58:59 PM

^^ all pretty good places ... there is a pretty good mexican place near the 131 main on east blvd too

its 1511 cantina i think...

i like it a lot.

[Edited on November 2, 2011 at 1:00 PM. Reason : UP]

Any girl I can't do this with is a girl I shouldn't be dating, but what works for one doesn't have to work for all.

11/2/2011 2:28:16 PM

^ That's okay for a couple dates in or when you've been dating someone for a while...but that's not what this sounds like and probably doesn't count as "nice."

11/2/2011 2:30:01 PM

if you ever plan on going to Cantina, get there early cause that shit gets packed

11/2/2011 2:35:18 PM

This is my neck of the woods. Bring her to Blue Taj in Ballantyne. Unless you're a total asshole, it will lead to coitus.

11/2/2011 2:54:17 PM

anything that leads to coitus is A-OK in my book. should listen to the man

haha, not THAT part of southwest charlotte. I'm from the Steele Creek area so that's where I am while on leave. I think the best bet on this side of town is Hickory Tavern. There's a couple decent places in Arysley and Rivergate, but I don't know shit about it anymore. Red Lion or something like that in Arysley is decent, and fuck if I can name anything else in there besides that, a movie theater, a Moes, and a Wild Wing Cafe.

Date 3, in the flow of things I feel like the proper date tonight is the different between being two people that kinda like each other and went on dates and two people that are dating/in a relationship.

"so did you get lost every time you came home for summer vacation?"

No. Charlotte, especially the area I'm from, has changed a LOT over the last 3 years and especially in the last few months. Roads I drove on daily are completely different. Around the time I turned 21 I went to boot camp and everything good in Charlotte requires you to be 21 anyway. So in the last 7 months all the data dumping and changes in the area left me with half an idea of what to do.

11/2/2011 5:03:29 PM

The Saffron, next to the steele creek Y in arsley, is good (gets the vote of my authentic red dot freinds) but it's probably not the ideal pre-coitus food...

There's a good Thai place near there, but I cannot remember the name of it so I guess this is not much help. It's basically in a random business complex.

11/2/2011 5:17:19 PM

There's a decent mexican joint over there too. Not exactly where I wanna take her on this date though

11/2/2011 5:24:01 PM

Date went well. Took her to some indian place in Arysley. Turns out Indian was her favorite food.

wp, gg.

11/3/2011 12:35:06 AM

that's it?

no details?

11/3/2011 12:39:12 AM

I don't need to brag about what happened on the internet, my ego's big enough.

all you fuckers need to know is that date #4 is tomorrow

11/3/2011 1:52:04 AM

Nice. Where are you going for Date #4?

How did you like it punchmonk? I hope you're going to 300 East for Brunch on Saturday, their brunch is awesome.

11/3/2011 8:12:47 AM

Yeah punkchmonk knows what's up. 131 main and 300 East rock.

When you at 131 Main I'll come downstairs and take care of you and buy you a shot. Just tell the busboy that "Baller" is here and knock on the table 3 times.

For future reference, Ayrsley also has:

-Portofino's (good italian place w/ olive garden/carraba type prices),
-Salsa's (a nice mexican place. good food but pricier than your run of the mill mexican)
-Wild Wings Cafe (self explanatory)
-Applebee's (fuck that shit yo)

The Red Lion closed like a year ago. There's also another Mexican place around the corner called Don Pedro's I think, but its a lot more like a El Rodeo type restaurant. Good food, kind of older/less nice interior.

11/5/2011 8:32:05 AM

punchmonk did you do as I told you? You would have been taken care of.

11/5/2011 9:47:31 AM

^^Don Pedros was good when I lived in the area. There's like a McAllisters, and Starbucks right there too.

saw some shitty free show with her, had an excellent time. was thinking that vinylbandit would have appreciated the show during said show. forgot to yell out "play freebird"
