Fine & Fettle
Rick Lupert
We were staying at the hotel for one night where Nine & Fettle is located and decided on a nightcap in the bar. It's a nicely designed boutique-y space that matches the overall flare of the hotel. We were just looking for drinks and their cocktails looked pretty fabulous. Watching the bartender actually make them to was a pretty fun production, especially when he got into double-handed shaking mode. The drinks we got were okay. We selected the Pirate Jenny IV and the Down But Nut Out cocktails. Both were beautiful to look at, but not sweet at all and a little hard to drink. I'm not a fan of an overly sweet cocktail but both of these lacked any kind of sweet element to balance out the other flavors and make them go down a little more easily. There are also many other cocktails we could have chosen so it's possible others have a little bit more balanced flavor profile. Kudos also to them for having a "mocktails" section so anyone who doesn't drink can feel included in the fun. Although we didn't eat anything I loved that their food menu not only had plenty of options for vegetarians and gluten-free diners and those items are prominently labeled as such. (This was just the bar menu too...there are more such options don't the main dinner menu.) Not sure if this place is a destination on its own, but you'll do well if you're staying at the hotel to stop in for a meal, snack or drink.

A Charlotte hidden gem. Once others experience how great dinner is, it will likely become a hot spot The drinks are excellent. The craft that goes into the cocktails you can see smell and taste. The food is made from scratch and delicious. Wife had the scallops and raves about them. I had the rigatoni and it was the best pasta Ive had in Charlotte The pizzas are cooked so well they have that nice crunch on the bottom with fresh ingredients on top Great restaurant! All covid protocols are in place and they have outdoor heated seating too.

So this is going to be a COVID grading scale. We ate breakfast here for two days. The service needs some serious improvements for sure. There were not that many tables, but they had two waitresses, and most of the time they were hard to get service out of. The food is different, more yuppy type of breakfast. On the first day, we ordered our food, which was good, but it does take forever. When we ordered, I ordered OJ and my son took two sips of it and stated he did not want it anymore because it tasted bad. Again, not the end of the world. On day two, we ordered our food, the pancakes were definitely not as fresh and yummy as the first day. Was it bad, nah not at all. Was the concept nice, sure was. Do you want to eat here if you are in a rush, not in the least. Would I eat here again, maybe if it was part of my package. What I can say is that if this was not COVID times, the score would be different for sure.

The Canopy hotel (which the restaurant is attached to) is beautiful and I had a really nice stay. Decided to grab brunch after checkout. There was no host at the entrance, but there were servers and waitresses walking around looking me dead in the face. I waited to be acknowledged for about 20 minutes before I left. Basic customer service is lacking.

Absolutely stunning restaurant and atmosphere. I just wanted to order a chicken Caesar salad for lunch and sit outside by myself. I was given the most amazing customer service. The salad was absolutely beautiful and tasty. Very classy and respectful place.
