This joint was a real treat! We were able to walk in and get seated immediately, without a reservation. My wife ordered a Snowy Scotch Sunrise cocktail, I had a sip of that – pretty good. I had the 14oz Dry Aged NY Strip with grilled shrimp, which they cooked to a perfect homogeneous rare throughout. Wife had the seared Ahi Tuna, which looked just about perfect. The Apple Bread Pudding for desert was incredible.
Our server, Juan, was just super on the ball. Just a really great guy. Every time we needed anything he was right there, attentive and prompt; an anecdote – I’d gobbled down my shrimp within about a minute of the food being dropped off, but I hadn’t started in on the steak yet by the time he came back by the table. There was a genuine look of concern when he asked if the kitchen forgot the shrimp.
Maybe I wouldn’t come here every time I’m in the city (at that price point I’ll reserve it for a once-in-a-while type deal), but for a special occasion this place can really make it all the more special.

Last night, we chose Mico’s for their Valentine’s Day prix fixe menu at $125 per person for three courses, and unfortunately, the entire experience was incredibly underwhelming and disappointing.
To start, it wasn’t truly three full courses. The appetizer was a shared plate for two that felt like something that could have been assembled from a grocery store fridge — a very small selection of meats and cheeses (about one bite each) and one oyster per person. There were no choices for the appetizer or dessert. Since I don’t eat pork, I was unable to enjoy much of the first course, and there were no accommodations offered.
For the entrée, there were four options, and I chose the shrimp and lobster. The dish arrived cold. On top of that, after our plates were changed, we were left sitting without cutlery for several minutes before anyone noticed. Throughout the evening, service was inattentive: no explanations of the dishes, no engagement, and repeated oversights like missing utensils.
To make matters worse, a 20% service fee was automatically added. Given the lack of attentiveness and overall experience, the level of service did not justify that charge. It felt as though the automatic gratuity removed any incentive to provide thoughtful hospitality.
At $320 for the evening, this was by far the worst “fine dining” experience I’ve had. We typically dine elsewhere for five curated courses at a lower price point and significantly higher quality, but chose Mico’s based on a prior recommendation. I was genuinely excited going in — and left extremely disappointed.

I dined at MICO Restaurant on New Year’s Eve, and unfortunately, the experience didn’t quite live up to the price tag. The restaurant offered a prefix menu at $160 per person, and I felt the value was lacking. The appetizer board included very small portions: one bite of deviled egg, one breadstick, lobster bisque (which I couldn’t have due to dietary restrictions), and prosciutto and cheese, which I also couldn’t eat. This left me with limited options from the start. They did bring out a mushroom bite on some like Filo dough that was good and like a small bread muffin for each of us, but the portion was quite petite.
The main course, veal, was good but not extraordinary. For dessert, I had the tiramisu, which was quite basic, and my friend’s tart lacked the zing I was hoping for. The highlight was the chocolate balls in the tiramisu.
Our server, Ashley, was great, which was a positive note. Still, I felt that the high price was mainly due to it being New Year’s Eve, and overall, the experience didn’t quite justify the cost.

I took my mom here for her 79th birthday. She doesn’t really try new foods, so having Argentinian food was very out of the box for her. I convinced her to try it and she agreed to go (but pretty reluctantly, LOL). The atmosphere was gorgeous and our server, Maha, was so informative about all the different sauces, which ones sounded like they would be in my mom’s wheelhouse, and which she’d recommend with the dinner choice my mom made.
I was worried in the beginning bc she kept saying that the sweet plantains didn’t look like sweet plantains (she’s used to Filipino ones), but even though she kept questioning things, she kept eating things, so I was pretty sure we had a winner. We had the tuna amuse-bouche, the cheese bread (amazing), I had the lobster bisque, she did scallops with the lemon sauce, I did steak and a side of mushrooms, and we finished off with the peach bread pudding.
Asian moms are not good with compliments, so at the end when she said, “The food is actually pretty good here,” I knew she loved it. She even asked Maha if there was one in Chicago (that was a no, unfortunately, bc if there was, she’d have asked me to book her next birthday party there). The next day she said again how the plantains don’t look like sweet plantains (all while gobbling down the leftover plantains). We went a week ago and she’s been asking me daily if I posted a review yet (she normally does NOT review things unless she wants to complain about them), so you basically can consider this place spectacular. If they built one in Chicago, she’d be a regular.
Also she wants me to let people know that Maha was a fantastic server. Ask for her when you go in, you won’t be disappointed!

Had a great dining experience here, from the moment we were seated by Robin, the hostess. She was so pleasant while walking us to our table. She set the tone. Our server was Maha, and she was great from the start. She not only provided excellent customer service, but she went way above to make us feel special and important. She was busy, yet she took time to listen to us and take time to explain dishes and offer recommendations. She was very pleasant and made the evening even more 5 star for us. The chef prepared delicious and visually beautiful meals/sides. The menu has enough choices on it to find something everyone will eat. We will be back next year to celebrate our anniversary again.

I had brunch at Mico and absolutely loved it! I ordered the smoked salmon avocado toast topped with pickled onions, fresh radish, greens, and a perfectly cooked sunny-side-up egg, the flavors were incredible. Everything tasted fresh, balanced, and beautifully prepared.
I also had a side of fresh berries, and they were sweet, vibrant, and the perfect complement to the dish.
The presentation was stunning, the portions were generous, and the overall experience was delicious. I’ll definitely be coming back!

I recently utilized MICO’s private dining room for my surprise proposal (literally yesterday) and felt the need to speak to how amazing our experience was. I worked with Nicholas Fair, who was absolutely incredible. He was responsive, open to all of my creative ideas, and an all around pleasure to work with. The proposal went off without a hitch and the staff was sooooo amazing! Our waitress, Tanner was so incredibly attentive and often sent “gifts” from the kitchen to help celebrate our engagement. The Chef also took the opportunity to come in and assure that our food experience was amazing (which it absolutely WAS). I can’t say enough about how absolutely amazing the team at MICO is and am so grateful that they played such an important role in one of the most special moments in our lives! Thank you, thank you, thank you!

What a beautiful restaurant with an open kitchen. The detail in the decor is absolutely stunning! I ate here a few times while staying for a work trip. The bar team, Nilson made great cocktails and very friendly. The servers, Kallie, Mirtha, Ashley and Tanner took great care of me while I was there and made great recommendations. Christina their director has great taste in wine and I enjoyed flipping through their wine book. They offer a really cool high altitude Malbec wine flight which was very fitting for their “theme.”
I thoroughly enjoyed the food for lunch and dinner. The pull apart Pan de queso was delicious, whole branzino and paella was all great. The chefs do a great job here and I look forward to coming back!

We had an absolutely phenomenal experience. Mirtha was a wonderful waitress and made the experience amazing. Seated right away with reservations, minimal wait for food, and the drinks were great with a large variety of wine to choose from. The roasted lamb was cooked perfectly and my husband loved the cowboy ribeye. We will be coming back frequently. Thank you for a great experience.

I was deeply disappointed with my New Year’s experience at MICO. The prix fixe menu was wholly unjustified for the price point. The limited offerings were overwhelmingly seafood-forward, an inconsiderate approach given the prevalence of seafood allergies, sensitivities, and general aversions.
The opening course was particularly problematic—a mushroom preparation that suffered from poor texture and improper temperature. This was followed by lobster bisque shots and a charcuterie selection comparable in quality to a standard grocery store deli, lacking any refinement expected of a fine-dining establishment.
The sole redeeming element of the evening was the double-crusted veal served atop an arugula salad with edible floral accents. That said, even this dish fell short, as the thicker portion of the veal was significantly undercooked. Dessert was a tiramisu that was clearly mass-produced and unremarkable.
While Charlotte is a beautiful city with tremendous potential, its so-called “fine dining” scene often feels underwhelming and, at times, exploitative rather than thoughtfully curated. Beyond the food itself, the ambiance further detracted from the experience—sloppy execution, excessively loud techno music, and subpar bartending all contributed to the disappointment.
Overall, this evening felt less like a refined culinary experience and more like a pretentious display lacking substance. I do not recommend MICO.
