Fantastic as always. Food, service, ambience and overall experience were great. I really liked the Christmas decorations this year. A great place to go for date night or a special occasion, or just for a relaxed and personal dining experience.

This was an excellent special event hosted by McNinch House with wine pairings from Laure Levesque of Queen of Wines in Durham. It was a fun social event along with great food, wine, and service. McNinch House is always Charlotte's premier restaurant and keeps getting better. We love coming here.

We had a very good experience at McNinch House. The food and service was very good and the setting was lovely. I was disappointed that having made the reservation with a notation that is was for a birthday (my sister-in-law's) there was not even a cupcake with a candle offered in honor of the event. It was otherwise a memorable evening.

It was an exceptional experience. This was a restaurant in a house that was built in 1891. The meals are designed to be in courses and paired with wine. The tables don't turn over so there's no one behind you so you can sit and enjoy your dinner over time and not feel rushed. It's a bit pricey but that's meant to support the experience and it is an exceptional experience
