"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."

"First timer here — I was going to give it a 4/4.5 because of a hiccup but I think service (both servers and manager) was worth rounding up. Overall, I had a pleasant dining experience! We ordered oysters on a half shell, chopped house salad 8 oz. filet mignon (both ordered to split/share, and Morton's prime burger with matchstick fries (fries not pictured), and the legendary hot chocolate cake. The filet mignon was ordered medium rare and it came out slightly overcooked (dry and chewier) but I still ate it in its entirety because a) I was hungry, and b) it wasn't worth another wait for a new steak. Don't get it twisted, it wasn't extremely overcooked... but given its steakhouse title, I held it to a higher standard than the average restaurant. I'd say it was more of a medium level of doneness: slight pink band in the center with more brownish-gray cooked surrounding. I mentioned it to the server as he cleared my plate to ONLY inform kitchen it was cooked a little longer therefore surpassing m.rare specifications, not to get any comp whatsoever. The manager ended up coming to our table and apologizing (I truly didn't expect this as I thought it didn't ruin my entire eating experience, and I was just giving honest gentle feedback) and he insisted on us ordering a dessert on the house. I actually passed and said no thank you as it was not necessary at all, but he insisted and encouraged us to try his favorite dessert... which leads to the legendary hot chocolate cake. I would stop by at Morton's for dessert dates just for this cake!!!! Absolutely legendary and holds its title!! It was mentioned it takes 20 minutes for this to come out but it was worth the wait. Everything about it from the outside crisp to the internal chocolate temperature to the ice cream. LOL my mouth is just watering explaining and visualizing my first time eating this; truly a must have after your meal! This treat was greatly appreciated. Oysters were fresh and great. The house salad was yummy and as expected. The prime burger was made to how we ordered (medium) and it was delicious, and the matchstick fries were crunchy and piping hot. Our server at the lounge was lovely, and other servers/bussers who stopped by our table for either water refills or food runs or pick up finished plates were friendly too. Service by all was top notch. Thanks Morton's, you were a great experience."
