Had the chicken and dumplings and wow! Chicken was tender and moist and tons of it. The sauce was full of delicious herbs, super yummy without being heavy. It was more of a chicken pot pie and quite possibly the best I’ve ever had. Service was attentive, super thoughtful and efficient. Great people watching spot too!

Very impressed with my Bartender Brandon he engineered this Coronarita with limited supplies! And it taste amazing! This bar has awesome staff who are willing to go the extra mile to accommodate. The Fried Green tomatoes were pretty good too!! (Of note on Saturdays they are open until 2am!!)

The breakfast buffet is very good here. I had a huge made to order egg white omelette. The thick cut having was crispy and cruncht as I like it. There was a special blueberry maple sausage that was very good. All with the usual pastries, cereals, fruit, and yogurt bar.

I recently came to Charlotte for the Kendrick Lamar and SZA concert and stayed at the Omni hotel where Trade Bar is located. I was pleasantly surprised. After traveling all morning then wanting to take a nap before the show we chose to just dine-in versus having to walk or uber some place. It wasn’t busy so we sat down right away. The bartender/waitress(sorry I forgot her name, really nice black lady with dreads) was prompt in bringing over menus and getting our drink order. We got the 24 Karat cocktails then ordered the Queen club with fries and chicken wings. The food was pretty darn good. Ive eaten at several hotels and the food is often bland and you can tell its prepackaged and warmed up but not at Trade Bar. The fries came out fresh, the portions were good(I took the other half of my sandwich and ate it after the show) and the wings had some Carolina dry rub on them that was delicious. Everything was reasonably priced as well. I have no complaints, may even go back before leaving. (Also sorry I don’t have photos. Didn’t plan on writing this review)

While staying here…this was the highlight of our stay and the positive! We sat at the bar and Nastajja took care of us! She was super sweet and helpful! The food was a 10/10!

Had high expectations for Sunday brunch. Avacado Toast – first serving was ice cold, poached eggs congealed. Second serving was over cooked.
Belgium Waffles – first serving ice cold, second good.
Traditional Eggs Benedict- really late to table, muffin not toasted, eggs over cooked and hollandaise tasted old and congealed.
Coffee was good.

Wait Staff was kind and meal was comped (did not request). Wonder if kitchen is on different floor?

I’ll give the bar the benefit of the doubt for it being late on a Tuesday but the bartender I had was not personable, the Scottish mule was okay and my filet was severally overdone.

I’d only recommend going here for a couple drinks to unwind if you are staying at the hotel. Not worth the price though.

Where should I start with this place? I should first start with stating the facts:

1. I had eaten all of one small meal in this entire 14 hour day before walking into Trade.
2. I was also very tired and did not want to try and figure out another option.
3. I know I shouldn’t expect anything from a restaurant that relies so heavily on a bar.
4. I know hotel restaurant food is usually just above par at best.

So I check into my room and am starving, considering whether or not to order something to eat or just go to sleep. I take a look at the room service menu where I clearly see multiple sections of the menu that clearly delineate options for vegetarians, vegans, and gluten freers. I also see the room delivery charge and 20% auto addition to the price and decide to take the trip down the the restaurant itself.

After being seated, I am told they have 1 vegan option rather than 2 as stated in the room menu and it would be pasta with garlic, roasted tomatoes, caramelized mushrooms, and spinach. I ordered that but subbed the mushrooms for onions because I love me some onions. 15 minutes later my plate comes with all that was said in the description with some really thin olive oil “sauce.” This dish had absolutely ZERO flavor. I mean if Flavortown was really a place on the map in the USA, this dish would have a home in Antarctica where no one visits because it is desolate of herbs and spices. The dish was literally just noodles and olive oil, if there was even salt, I could not tell. There was certainly no pepper, oregano, rosemary, thyme, basil, or any other herb that would make a pasta sauce remotely flavorful.

I then ask the waitress for some marinara sauce. The response, “You mean like just tomatoes, tomato sauce?” My response of course is a “yes, that without any cheese, butter, or milk added to it.” Another 15 minutes later, she returns with a bowl of diced tomatoes and says, “So the chef prepared these with a little salt and pepper, is that okay?” I say, “Of course, I am glad he could come up with something, this just doesn’t look like sauce.” I mix the plates and stir it with a bunch of crushed red pepper in the hopes that I might be able to at least see a sign for Flavortown.

Unfortunately, Flavortown must be visited another day. Honestly, the dish was barely edible. At this point, I have about a whole tomato that was diced and then put into a pot for 15 minutes with no sort of preparation other than a “little salt and pepper,” with a few roasted/pre-roasted veggies and some noodles drenched in some thin disgusting oil. Even though I like to eat reduced oil dishes, I am known to get the garlic, olive oil sauce sometimes. I like when the olive oil really stands out on its own and the garlic kicks you. Trade’s was like slimy water that just got worse with the “marinara sauce,” they gave me.

Now, keep in mind I asked for that marinara because the menu specifically states a create your own pasta dish with marinara as one of the sauce options. If that is what they give to their customers for that, I would be shocked.

At the end of the day, this is the second worst hotel food experience I have ever had. It certainly wasn’t worth the $19 and if I wasn’t so worn down, tired, and hungry from the long day, I would have returned it as soon as it hit the table. I forced myself to finish the dish after almost 40 minutes because I couldn’t eat it quickly. 1 star for sure, vegans, please stay away unless you want to waste your hard earned money of watered down oil sauce with no flavor or seasoning. Maybe next time Flavortown won’t be so hard to find…
