First time eating here. It was a Monday, which is fish and chips special day. I had the croissant club and my wife had the chicken salad on sourdough toast. Both were really good. Food was good, fries were hot and our drinks were always full. Server came to the table just enough to be attentive but not annoying. She recommended a “killer” sauce which was like a sweet honey mustard, it was really good. We mentioned it was our first time and she offered a free desert. We were too full for two so we shared one. An apple fritter with cinnamon ice cream. It was really good. We will be back and would highly recommend this place.

My daughter had a live baby cockroach crawling in her food.this was sooo disgusting I couldn’t get out of there fast enough. The waitress tried to offer us something else on the menu to replace the infested entree like that was normal. DEhec should be there to investigate

Update: We recently visited to celebrate St. Valentines day. We had reserved several weeks in advance for two persons and were seated in one of the cozy booths.
The menu at Trio is customized for some seasonal holidays including this one. We ordered the Roasted Cauliflower dip for starters and for the mains we ordered the Crispy Cod and the Farro Risotto. The starter was delivered soon after our order was placed and mains were delivered appropriately after. The Cauliflower dip was exceptional and we also enjoyed the main plates.
In summary a great experience, we will be back.

Stopped in for a late weekend lunch. The food and the service were outstanding . I even had dessert: my favorite Creme Brulee. The restaurant was not busy but had a steady pace of customers. Everyone at my table thoroughly enjoyed their meals, and the restaurant was very clean. I also asked a few other guests about their food choices, and each person rated their dishes 8 and above! I have never asked other guests about their choices, but because of our great experience, I decided to ask others. This is a great spot for lunch and dinner, and I was told Sunday Brunch was even better! I highly recommend this spot, and I will definitely come back.

Trio is a hidden gem! It’s one of those places that you go to all the time and then one day you try a new place and then Charlotte grows with new restaurants and you forget your old friend. We sauntered in here for the the first time in years and it’s exactly like it was 25 years ago. Food is awesome, service is friendly and timely and the prices are still great too. It’s a place where the servers know the regulars orders. It’s a place where you can count on it to be exactly the way you remember it.
Why is that so important? Because in a world that’s rapidly changing and a town that looks nothing like it did 30 years ago, sometimes it’s crucial to have one place where you know the Cobb salad, fried chicken, almond basket dessert, muligatawny soup and prime rib are going to be steady and delicious. $7 bucks for a decent pour of decent wine? Yep. Warm bread with real butter? That’s right!
Trio is a warm hug. A nostalgic delight that reminds you all is still well in the world.
Just brought my 17 year old daughter here and she said “why have we been sleeping on this sweet tea and platter of chicken fingers?” Thats teenager for “why haven’t we been here in awhile?”
The pizzas are great too.
Do yourself a favor and go swim in the safe waters of Trio. I know my parents are toasting our return from Heaven. They loved it too. The bar is full of friendly strangers and the booths are always welcoming. Get over to Trio! (I should have taken more pics but trust me)!
Also who still serves baked Alaska? That’s right…TRIO!

Great experience here! The food was delicious and the service was top notch. I had the wood fired pesto bread and three cheese tortellini with chicken then finished with the chocolate silk pie. Everything was great.

We just had my baby shower at Trio yesterday in their semi-private dining room and it turned out amazing! Emma and the staff were so easy and wonderful to work with regarding our food choices, accommodating specific diets, and making the room and tables look beautiful. Their prices are so extremely reasonable for a party compared to other places around the Charlotte area. The food was delicious and all our guests had a great time. If you want a budget-friendly party location, call Trio! We had a great time and would use them again in a heartbeat!

This was a great experience. Family friendly place. You can actually have a conversation without trying to yell over loud music. The food was delicious! We had chicken scaloppini, shrimp and scallops with angel hair pasta and cheese pizza! Everything cooked with love and arrived hot and fresh. Our server Adam was super attentive, friendly and obviously a true professional. We loved him! Thank you Adam! Prices friendly too! A great way to still eat out with your family in these times and still get delicious food! Desserts are an absolute must! Sorry no pics, we were hungry and don’t wait for the photo ops!!

Review: Trio Restaurant, Charlotte – A Masterclass in How Not to Host a Birthday
Rating: ⭐ (One star, because the bread eventually showed up)
If you’re looking for a place to celebrate your birthday where you can experience the thrill of being completely invisible, look no further than Trio. I’ve been coming here for years, but my visit on December 23rd was less of a “celebration” and more of a “social experiment in neglect.”

The “Vanishing Act”
Our party of six arrived, and while the first half got water, the second half apparently entered a different dimension where servers don’t exist. We sat there for 25 minutes—long enough to contemplate our life choices and memorize the wood grain on the table—before I had to physically hunt down a hostess to remind her we were, in fact, humans who required sustenance.
Five minutes later, our waitress appeared. No apology. Just the cold, hard silence of someone who clearly had somewhere better to be.

The Kitchen Scapegoat
We ordered immediately to save time. Forty minutes later, we were still staring at empty plates. When I went searching for a hostess again, the lobby was a ghost town. When the waitress finally graced us with her presence at the 45-minute mark, she brought… bread.
She immediately pivoted to the classic “blame the kitchen” strategy. I told her flatly: If the food hasn’t started, we’re leaving. She promised it was coming. It eventually did—an hour after ordering and 90 minutes after we sat down. By that point, I wasn’t even hungry anymore; I was just impressed by the commitment to the delay.

The “Management” Special
The real “cherry” on top of this birthday disaster was the manager. When he finally approached us, he didn’t offer an apology. Instead, he gave us a tour of his excuses:
* It was the owner’s fault.
* He had to bartend.
* (And his personal favorite, which he repeated three times): “As long as the food was hot and good, that’s all that matters.”

Newsflash: When it’s someone’s birthday, the “service” and “not being ignored for an hour” actually matter quite a bit. I don’t care if the chicken was forged in the fires of Mount Doom; or if you served Lembas bread, the temperature of the chicken is the least of my concerns.

The Verdict
The food was… okay. But the service was a dumpster fire of “not my job” energy. If you want to spend your birthday being blamed for the restaurant’s staffing issues while a manager explains his resume to you, Trio is your spot. Otherwise? Run. We’ve been loyal for years, but after this? We’re officially “ghosting” Trio just like they ghosted us.
