The service was phenomenal from Beth! She walked us through the entire menu, personal favorites, and was very thoughtful during our dine in. The Non-Alcholic beverages were perfect, not too sweet, and a pleasure to enjoy! The desert was full of flavor and would 100% recommend. The steak was pretty standard, cooked perfectly with garlic butter. The atmosphere was peaceful, with a warm vibe, with soft yellows illuminating the place. It was fun and we will be back!

We came here to celebrate my birthday and the food was great. It's a beautiful restaurant with great food. Definitely would come back again. One small mistake is that the waiter took down my girlfriends order wrong, so the wrong dish came out. They fixed it and we were able to enjoy our dinner.

What a great restaurant. Not our first time in a Rare Roots establishment but it is completely in line with the quality in terms of food quality and service. Outstanding apps, entrees, and cheesecake. I went seafood heavy and wasn't disappointed. My husband had the ribeye steak and it was also delicious. Thanks for a great anniversary dinner.

Our favorite steak restaurant in the city. This is 5 stars. Put on your nice clothes and go enjoy one of the best and well prepared meals the city of Charlotte has to offer. This is pricey but you get what you pay for. LOVE Dressler’s. Order the steak 😋

Excellent food and service! We had an absolute blast dining here and will definitely be back. I highly recommend trying the French onion soup and creme brulee. Some of the best food I've ever had. The chocolate cake was also delicious.

This places was ok, the hair in my food is probably the nail in the coffin. We went for apps and drinks ordered dinner to go. Got there at 9 at 10:20 we were still waiting for our main course. The atmosphere is nice. There was a very diverse crowd. The space is very bright even at night. This restaurant is located in midtown so there is a lot of parking but a lot of businesses so depending on when you go, you may want to valet. Our server was pleasant. The food lacked any luster. For appetizers we had the crab dip and the garlic goat cheese and pita. They were both ok, the chunks of seafood were large and did not look like crab. I wasn’t really a fan. The ribeye was a nice medium, but definitely still dry considering I added garlic butter. There’s no way there was garlic butter on it. The sweet potato hash was a great flavor combination but the duck was so over cooked and chewy, sweet potatoes were undercooked and the onions and peppers was chewy and stringy 10/10 do not recommend. ( Reheated food for 1 min on medium heat) Asked for a mango drop, house tequila is patron, loved that. My spouse had a drink suggested by the waitress. They were strong and very tasty. Definitely visit the bar.

Only stopped in for a drink. I got the Sage-sational. Nice cocktail with nice vodka base and plenty of spice for the season. Bar tender was friendly and well versed. Highly recommend for a drink.

Dresslers never disappoints! My sister and I came here for her birthday and she is still talking about how great her meal was! We used a Groupon and they allow you to choose from everything on the menu vs dictating what you are allowed to eat like other restaurants do. I would definitely recommend Dresslers!
