Toast - Great Breakfast Place - Huntersville, NC 704-875-7840
Jack and I had been wanting to try this highly recommended restaurant for breakfast for quite some time. One Saturday we arrived around 10:00 am. And, crowded it was which is the usual as seating is limited in this house that has been converted to a very cozy restaurtant. Their staff is extremely organized at getting people seated and served without feeling rushed. While you are waiting for your table, you are offered coffee, tea or juice which is a nice touch. Great variety of breakfast choices with several specialty items. Their Peanut Butter and Banana stuffed French Toast is a winner!
The Tea House - Perfect for Lunch - Cornelius, NC 704-896-9813
Great eating addition to Cornelius. A perfect place for lunch with a friend, child or grandchild .... and even a spouse. Such a wonderful variety of teas in their own beautiful tea pots. The lunch menu consists of salads, sandwiches and soups which are all freshly prepared. A favorite is the Chicken, Cranberry, Pecan Salad or Sandwich. Save room for awesome desserts. The ambianvce is a "10". Each room of this renovated home has a theme such as Alice in Wonderland. There are boas and hats for anyone who wants to "dress" for lunch. Local art work on the walls is fantastic and good prices. Do make a reservation as this is a very populalr place. They have just started serving dinner on Friday and Saturday nights.
Positano Osteria - Great Ambiance for Dinner - Birkdale Village - Huntersville, NC 704-896-2979
Just what Birkdale Village needed ... casual up-scale Italian Restaurant. The restaurant is owned by Augusto Conte who owns five restaurants in the Charlotte area including, Coco Osteria, Luce, and Toscana. We have been two times and have been pleased with the fresh food and friendly, prompt service. The menu is filled with many interesting pasta dishes as well as fish, chicken beef and pork. Moderately priced and loved the energy of the the staff and customers.
We love to eat out and try new restaurants, so you will be hearing from me from time to time about the restaurants in the Lake Norman area and Charlotte. We are so fortunate to have such a selection up here at the Lake. Another reason for living in The Peninsula, River Run and Birkdale.
