Good food and attentive service. Enjoyed the food and the atmosphere. Quiet enough to have a conversation. Had the Grilled Goat Cheese and Garden Salad as first course, then the Delmonico and Short Rib as mains. Everything was excellent. The side of home made Fries was really good, although a bit on the salty side. Had a cocktail and a couple of beers. All very good. If you are using a Groupon, make sure you understand the terms of what it does and does not cover. We can easily recommend Dressler’s and will be back again.

From the moment of arrival, we were amazed. My wife, son, and I dined here for our anniversary and the food, staff, drinks, atmosphere (outdoor seating), service, and special touches were all worth the visit! We will be returning and recommend you give them a try when you’re in the area. The braised beef short rib and the steak and fries were amazing. The broccolini was a nice additional touch, and the carrot cake and peanut butter cheesecake were insanely delicious! Dodd our server was very friendly and engaged. We appreciate each of you and the manager, as well the other staff for checking in on us.

The Atmosphere was nice, a bit cool, we suggested outdoor seating, that was on me, outside nice surroundings, The Food Was Delicious, Hats Off To The Chef, The Welcoming Seating Staff and Valet Parking Satff were Great! Our Waiter looked tired but with that last burst of energy, that getting through the day look and it’s Monday damn energy but he was likable because I could relate but I wouldn’t want to see it while I’m the one who’s dining out and I’m the one who’s being served. But Overall Great Food!

I’m extremely late giving my food review for this gem but my husband and I were sitting here reminiscing about the duck confit that we had here when I’m like “oh crap! I never left a review.” Let me just say that this place is amazing .. the service was top tier, everything was prepared fresh and super delicious; I even remember the manager/ owner making her rounds to speak with guests – we had our toddler with us and requested a further table as to not disturb other guests, which we were accommodated with. We have since relocated to Tampa so unfortunately there are no locations here but we are definitely looking forward to dining at Dressler’s again in the future.

We had one of the best dinners ever in Charlotte! Our server, Victoria was fantastic. She had the best suggestions. The gin cocktail was great, the apple crisp was everything you want it to be. The highlight for my husband was the G’s salad, with goat cheese and pickled onions. The halibut was good and the steak was perfectly cooked. Overall this was an exceptional Tuesday night dinner!!!

This was my first visit & hopefully not the last. I was part of a party of 11, celebrating a cousin’s birthday. The wait staff was attentive; however, it took a while for our food to come out. I just assumed it was due to the size of our party, so I didn’t complain.
I ordered the Pan Seared Salmon w/cauliflower rice (not shown in the photo) & brussel sprouts. Everything was seasoned well. I was pleasantly surprised. I would definitely return.

Dressler’s at the Met is an absolute gem for anyone who appreciates fine dining done right. I started with the Lump Crab appetizer, and it was nothing short of heavenly, fresh, delicate, and packed with flavor. The Caesar salad followed, and it was seasoned to perfection, with just the right balance of tang and crunch.
For my main course, I indulged in the Rack of Lamb, and I can honestly say it was exquisite. The meat was perfectly cooked, tender, and bursting with rich, layered flavors. It felt like a full-blown party on my palate with every bite.
To finish, I treated myself to my all-time favorite dessert: Key Lime Pie. Creamy, tart, and refreshingly sweet, it was the perfect ending to an unforgettable meal.
Whether you’re planning a romantic dinner date or simply want to spoil yourself with exceptional food, Dressler’s is a must. Every course shines, and I couldn’t recommend it more highly.

My wife and I decided to try Dressler’s one weeknight before a concert in Charlotte. We had a reservation for 6pm and we were seated right as we came in. We sat outside and it was great. Our server was very attentive and took care of us all evening. We ordered the Pan Seared Salmon, Half Roasted Chicken, Grilled Asparagus and Brussel Sprouts. All of the food tasted great and the Half Roasted Chicken entrée was huge! The only thing I will mention is the asparagus could have been grilled a little bit longer but that is personal preference and they still tasted great. We enjoyed our dinner and would highly recommend Dressler’s!
