Restaurant X

Best Resturant in Davidson!
Owner’s Nazira & Nick are awesome and great hosts. The food is 5 star and the service is excellent.
Can’t wait until the Resturant re-​opens after the unfortunate Car accident!

This restaurant has gone way downhill. We have been before and had great food and service. The last few times have been substantially worse, but the last visit (and it will be the last) takes the cake. We waited over an hour from the time we sat down until we received our food. The manager proceeded to argue with us that it had not been that long (despite the fact that we knew exactly what time we arrived). Some of the food was cold. Other food took 10 minutes longer to arrive at the table than the rest. I understand that sometimes places get busy but this type of service seems to be the rule now not the exception.

Came here for the first time today. Cute little restaurant. Nice music. Selection of entrees was very nice but only 3 choices for the kids menu, needs more. My son loved his chicken strips kids meal though. Said it was delicious and very filling. I had the blackened salmon Caesar salad which was great, and my husband had the surf and turf which he devoured. I also had the house merlot which was a decent size glass, that is nice! We ended the meal with the apple pancake. My hubby and son devoured it! Said it was delicious! We will be back. Very nice meal. Love the homemade meals here! Recommend.

Great food great service and very reasonable prices. I highly recommend! We love to give here.

I’m planning on coming back when the menu isn’t set like tonight with Valentine’s Day. For me it was just average and I wanted to be impressed. I’ve looked at the regular menu so I’ll come back to try it again. I was disappointed in the presentation of the shrimp cocktail which were just laying on a plate with the cocktail sauce in a plastic cup. The shrimp weren’t deveined and it still had legs. The server was nice but sketchy, he brought my coffee after the meal with no spoon and he pulled out of his front pants pocket the cream for the coffee! I asked twice for a spoon but he forgot and I finally received one from the bus boy. We paid and waited for our check after he took my credit card for 20 minutes and then blamed the bus boy for not bringing the receipt to sign. I could go on to other things but I’m going to keep an open mind and try it again.
Things I liked, the outside heated dining area, it was warm and quite. The entrees were delicious. The owner took time to thank all of the patrons for choosing his restaurant

This week’s edition of Excited about Eating visits Restaurant X in the college town of Davidson, North Carolina. This bistro-​type restaurant offers an international menu featuring pub fare, seafood, and upscale beef dishes.
Dora here. It’s easy to see why they’ve been nominated six times for the Open Table Diners Choice Award. Food choices were great, but they also offer several seating alternatives. We chose the covered patio. The plastic screen makes it nice and toasty for winter diners.
We visited on Saturday during Brunch, so I chose Shepherd’s Pie, meat, vegetables, and gravy blanketed with mashed potatoes. We visit a lot of pubs and I have ordered Shepherd’s Pie many times, but I have to say, this was the best ever! The meat and gravy, with deep flavors and just the right amount of juice, blended very well with the mashed potatoes. It was the type of dish that you just couldn’t stop eating until it was all gone, and that happened quicker than usual because my wife enjoyed it also.
Dora here. Guilty! I confess my fork kept digging in to that wonderful goodness! I was powerless to control it. The flavors popped and it wasn’t overloaded with unnecessary vegies like some. Warm and perfect for a cold day!
Good thing you also enjoy Fish and Chips, Ernie. Phew! And the fries were just the way hubby likes them, thin and crispy, the kind you can gobble down a ton and not feel heavy or bloated afterward. The fish batter was nice and light, not greasy, with generous portions.
Restaurant X is located on Main Street, along with many other quaint local restaurant. It’s a beautiful area, one I imagine we will explore more fully soon.
We rate this restaurant 5 fork out of 5 for a family friendly restaurant serving outstanding food. ~Ernie & Dora Hiers, Fiction Faith & Foodies Blog

Good food, and Wednesday is half-​price wine night. Casual and cozy atmosphere. Good for date night. Contemporary cuisine.

Great place for lunch. Variety of fresh sandwiches and salads. The blackened chicken is actually really blackened. It’s extremely hard to find a restaurant in North Carolina that can make authentic blackened chicken and it’s always moist. Love their daily soups and pastas. I haven’t tried everything on the menu but so far no processed food. Everything fresh made.

Great Restaurant a hidden gem

The filet mignon was jucy, tender, the perfect temp and melted in my mouth. Cory the server has a way for describing food making your mouth water. With his recommendation I walked away with one of the most amazing pieces of peanut butter pie. All home made and worth every bite.

My wife and I visited last night as we were looking for «something different». I am ashamed to admit that I have never even seen this restaurant that is located right beside Fuel Pizza for the last 11 years that Restaurant X has been in existence. But, there it sits in plain view. It is easily accessible with plenty of convenient parking. My wife and I were welcomed by our waiter, Corey, who is every bit entertaining as he is informative. There is a good beverage menu with wines and both craft and traditional beers. No appetizer for us last night. My seared Ahi Tuna over soba noodles with Thai peanut salsa, hoisin glaze & wasabi aioli was perfectly prepared. Perhaps the best that I have ever had. My wife ordered the NC mountain rainbow trout and was very pleased. The accompanying farmer’s market vegetables were outstanding. For dessert we split a banoffee pie — bananas and toffee, that was also excellent. The owner Nick circulated among the tables and made us feel welcome. We will definitely be back in the near future!

Went for dinner for first time. Parking is difficult since several restaurants close together. The service was excellent and attentive. I had crab cakes which were very good but served with a tasteless slaw and handful of fries. One of friends got burger and said bun was dry but burger itself was good. He said could have had more fries too. My husband got penne pasta special which said was good but nothing special. Might give them another try.

I think it is funny how it took the owner five months to respond to my previous negative review. That in itself should tell you a lot about this restaurant. However I do not find his boldface lies funny at all! We DID NOT eat the entire meal. That is ludicrous. We WERE NOT offered a free dessert and therefore COULD NOT have eaten it all. That too is a lie. Lastly, we did ask to speak to whomever was in charge that day. We did get a nice young man who did his best to help us, however the damage was already done.
I must also say that the way my wife was treated and talked down to that day by our waitress is inexcusable. Never should a customer be treated or talked to the way my wife was treated!
So in a nutshell, if you want absolutely terrible food, an extremely rude waitress, and to be called a liar in a public forum, then by all means go to Restaurant X and leave a critical review on Unilocal

This was an absolutely wonderful dining experience. Quiet, intimate and fairly casual. The canon trite was fabulous as was the coconut banana rum bread pudding. This restaurant should not be missed.

Here for wife’s birthday… my daughter is along. they are headed to a community play as I write this.
Let me say… We are here because we love this restaurant, but tonite was not good.
My daughter had a steak fillet that tasted like kerosene .
When I reported this to our waitress she all but ignored the feedback. No apology, no Bill adjustment, no free dessert nothing… :(
With this being a birthday dinner, a free dessert would have smoothed over the problem and been an expected gesture (we are regulars).
Not so… So here I am writing this «critical» review. It could have and should have been different.

We’ve been to Restaurant X more times than I can count. It’s one of our favorite places for both breakfast (now served every Saturday and Sunday!) and dinner.
This is a delightful place, with delicious food and service. Although they are under new ownership, you won’t notice many changes. The kitchen staff and servers have stayed, and everyone welcomes you like family. We especially like Carmen and Cory!
Their apple pancakes, eggs benedict, and Irish breakfast are what keep us coming back for breakfast, along with their fantastic service and strong coffee. The curried mushrooms on the Irish breakfast are amazing, too!
Their dinner menu has stayed pretty much the same over the years, but we have noticed a few nice additions under their new ownership. We love their shrimp spring rolls and pork belly appetizers, and I usually get one of their specials for my entrée. JC makes the most amazing chicken/​pasta dishes — I don’t care what he’s offering, I always love whatever he prepares. And I RARELY get chicken when going out — I’m not a huge fan of chicken in general. My hubby loves their steak, but he’ll also branch out on occasion and get either a special or the lamb chops.
I can’t forget to mention their outdoor patio. They keep it enclosed and heated in winter, and it’s quite comfortable, even if it’s freezing outside. In the warmer months, they open the sides so you’ll get a nice breeze. IMO, they have one if the best outdoor dining areas in all of Charlotte.
We love Restaurant X and will continue to be regulars!

I took my wife here for a Sunday brunch for our 2^nd year wedding anniversary (because it’s the «cotton» anniversary and this is right next to «Cotton Gin Road») and I could not have been happier with everything here. I ordered the «Full Monty» and my wife ordered the «Full English» and boy were we satisfied on every level.
The Full Monty — The Full Monty is two crab cakes combined with eggs benedict, home fries, and a delicious mozzarella topping. It was fantastic. It was so good I stopped eating a quarter of the way through because I became sad that I only had 75% of my meal left so I tried to savor it more. Everything about it is amazing (except for the health factor.) I felt like I was hitting every happy taste bud in my mouth with my first bite and all I wanted was more (even though I was happily full).
The Full English — This is a little bit of everything from eggs, home fries, a «banger» which is a thick English sausage, this creative curried mushroom smidgen, baked beans, bacon, and toast. It’s a little bit of everything and you will feel soooo delightfully full.
It’s was about $ 10 per meal which I thought was very reasonable. Do not expect a fancy restaurant, but to be honest, I preferred this place much more than the «Terrace Café» in Charlotte. Combined with their nice outdoor seating, no wait on a Sunday morning, and lot-​parking, my experience at Restaurant X was truly an anniversary-​grade experience.
I forgot to mention that I did order the Banoffee (banana-​caramel) pie that was highly recommended by other Unilocalers. Unfortunately, it too sweet and decadent for my wife and my tastes but I didn’t want to let it soil my opinion of Restaurant X.

We came over to this restaurant because we bought a LivingSocial deal. The décor doesn’t tell much about the restaurant but WOW the food is absolutely fantastic! People usually gather in Davidson to have brunch at Toast but this restaurant is as good or better than Toast. The staff is extremely friendly and they were always checking on us.
I had the Steak Benedict (sounds yummy no?), my wife had the omelet and my kid had the pancakes. All of the dishes were outstanding. We read online about the dessert Banofee Pie and I ordered it — WOW!!! Amazing!!!
This has become now a spot for us on Sunday brunch :).

I STRONGLY encourage those who gave Restaurant X less than 4 stars, to give it another try! My boyfriend and I come to this restaurant once every couple of months or so, and we absolutely love it. If we spent a bit less when we visited, I am sure we would return more often! I have really love everything I have had here, but I must say, the Tuna and Salmon here, are my absolute favorites! My boyfriend often tries the specials and seems to love them. The restaurant is definately an older crowd… or an older crowd than we are anyway, but the food continues to bring us in!
I would highly suggest sitting outside, even when its winter with the heaters! COZY is the perfect word!!!

This restaurant has a following, and its not the food that draws them in, its the casual and cozy ambience that it offers. Dining here is strangely familiar, like eating on the porch of your favorite aunts house. I don;t know what it has that effect, but it simply does.
The food is slightly better than average. I am writing this a few days after I went and I can barely remember the food. In fact, I honestly can’t remember what any of us ate there. Nothing was bad, but nothing was spectacular enough to stick in my memory.
The service, the feel that everyone knows everyone is very present here. So, if you are homesick and in need of a home cooked meal, I think this place is perfect for that.
