"A couple weeks ago I headed to Stoke for some cocktails with a few coworkers. This was the first time any of us had been and we were pleasantly surprised. We learned that the establishment places a large emphasis on being a part of the community by using local ingredients and serving products from the surrounding area. Stoke offers many of the Charlotte and North Carolina beers which placed the state on the craft brewery map. Some of the beers on tap include NoDa Brewing Company, Wooden Robot Brewery, Triple C Brewing Co. and Wicked Weed Brewing. They also have a great list of unique craft cocktails. Many of the cocktails on their menu are old classics with a twist. We learned that one of these concoctions, The Uptown Sour, intrigued a Marriott executive so much that he jumped on a plane so he could try it for himself! The desire to use local ingredients can also be seen in their food. We had a few of their appetizers (pretzel brioche, beef bone marrow, crispy oysters) which were all amazing. We could tell that this group understands the importance of top notch service when the Director of Eat Drink, Sean Potter, delivered our appetizers to our table providing us with an informative description of the ingredients and preparation techniques. The staff was friendly, helpful and attentive. I loved Stoke's open kitchen design which compliments the modern yet welcoming atmosphere very well. Although the restaurant is located within the Charlotte Marriott City Center, this is definitely not your average hotel restaurant. Chef Chris Coleman is doing a fantastic job which has created national attention. Stoke was listed on USA Today's Top 20 Restaurants to Try This Fall (2016) and that's a well-deserved accolade. You should definitely add Stoke to your must try list in Charlotte."

"I will break this review in 2 parts (Vibe and Food) Vibe: I was here after I was recommended by my friend. I looked at the reviews and despite some comments I decided to check this place myself. When I went to the owner and the staff watched the Kentucky Derby, which I thought was cool. I have to ask them questions and he answered them. The conversation was nice as I told him I worked on a race track that took care of the workers. The owner was shocked and surprised when I told him that. He told all his staff excited. He showed me his horse and was really friendly. The place felt welcoming and friendly. I enjoyed this place and it was the Vibe check. Food: The owner ensured that my food was good and safe as he told me the best way to keep it to avoid any spills. As soon as I came home and my friend was blown away from the portion size. My food alone (Seafood about Pasta) was more than enough to share with my friend and still have some left. My friend has a crabcake sandwich and we also have the seafood Mac n cheese and a keylime cake. When I say the food was amazing, I mean it. The seafood cheese was AMAZING and the best Macn cheese I've ever had. I couldn't say anything negative about our order. Everything was delicious. The Keylime Pier was so damn amazing that I took a bite and gave my friend a bite and when I gave the container to my friend he accidentally fell on the floor. I was ready to break it with him. Anyway, he took it up and ate it. Yeah, I know it's disgusting, but it shows how much he liked it. Hands down the best seafood I had in a while and the portion size is spirit blowing. I and my friend go back while we'll try something new. This place won 2 loyal customers. Thanks for the conversation and the great food. That's not a fake criticism. I've been checking places for years. Everyone can check all my reviews and see it's legit, so trust me in this review and place. Any experience is different, so don't let this be the decisive factor to not try this place. Go out and try it yourself."
