My very favorite restaurant in the city!!!
It's a treat whenever we get to go!
The grilled chicken salad with almonds, goat cheese and strawberries is sooooo yummy!
The Almond Basket is my favorite dessert!
You can't go wrong at Trios!!!!
Great place. I’ve been going there for years. Good food. Comfortable environment. Great bartenders. Stop there to avoid the “rush hour traffic”! 🍷
Never had a meal I didn't enjoy here. Everything is always fresh and well prepared. Service is fast and friendly. The restaurant has looked the same for the past 2 decades so a spruce up is in order but don't let that stop you from enjoying a great meal. Sunday brunch is a favorite.
We celebrated a milestone birthday there with a group of 8, and the staff did a great job of reserving a table and taking care of us.
The restaurant started to get very busy on a busy night at a busy time, but the waiter did a great job of managing expectations and what to expect. No matter to us as we spent the extra few minutes catching up on life.
We didn’t sit at the bar, but we sat close, and it looked like a great place for a date. Would love to come back for a lite meal and a drink.
Apple fritters for dessert would be my recommendation. A must try! 😃
I ate dinner at Trio's restaurant on a recent Friday night with another couple. It was my first time eating here. This restaurant has been around since 1992 and I have heard good things about the food. Our server, Hanh, gave us exceptional service. She was one of the best waitresses that I have ever had at a restaurant. We started off with the Trio's brick oven favorite. These are pizza wedges with three dips, marinara & goat cheese, white bean dip, and tapenade. It was just ok. We also shared the fried green tomatoe appetizer that was on special that night. They had pulled pork and a sweet pepper peach puree, and they were very tasty. For my meal, I had the chicken Piccata, and it was outstanding. The ladies both had the chicken penne, and they really liked it, and my buddy had the chicken tortellini. He enjoyed it. For dessert, we had the almond basket and the chocolate silk pie. The almond basket is one of the most unique desserts that I have ever had. I loved it. Trio's has a very impressive food selection, and I look forward to coming back.
Excellent food, service and drinks. Honorable mention to the pizza chef. I will be returning to try the delicious-looking wood-fired pizza.
Hands down one of my favorite places to visit. I have hosted 3 dinners on the patio and everyone always loves attending. The space is beautiful and a great spot for laughter and celebration. The food is always delicious. I make sure to try new dishes each visit. Can't wait to return!
Outstanding food. We took a friend there when they came to Charlotte. The dinner was excellent. My friend was from the north and had Shrimp and Grits. He loved it. Our dinner was well prepared and hot. Service was normal and I think the waitress was tired because she seemed distracted. However, that did not take away from outstanding food and wine. I will continue to go to Trio Restaurant because you always great a great meal at a good price.
Made a group reservation for dinner here last weekend for my sister's birthday - we came into town to surprise her & celebrate with her. I did a Google search a few weeks before hand & found this place.
Upon arriving, we were immediately taken to the patio area where we requested to be seated for our larger party - luckily the weather was perfect so it wasn't getting cold/chilly until we were already done & leaving. We had two servers. Both were good, especially the server that focused on our part of the group - her name was Kay Kay. Service was timely, friendly and on point. And so was the food! We all enjoyed all the appetizers, entrees & drinks we had. Personally, I ordered the Calamari as an app & the Shrimp Tortellini as an entree - delicious, perfect temperature & so filling! Others had entrees like the Salmon plates that were available, Shrimp & Grits, Steak, etc.
All in all, we all enjoyed our meal - especially my sister who we were celebrating. I would recommend it to others to try & I would go there again if looking for somewhere to dine when I'm visiting the area again.
Quaint brunch experience with a varied menu and charming ambiance.
Food: 5/5
The little free muffin “appetizers” were spectacular delicious and will be returning for those alone. They provide these cornbread poppy seed muffins with almond(?) glaze, which truly were the star of the meal. Fair portion sizes where you’re comfortably full but not stuffed.
Service: 5/5
Despite coming at peak brunch hour, our party was seated promptly with minimal wait. Our server and hostess were friendly and warm as well.
Ambiance: 5/5
It’s not a bright, light trendy brunch place for sure. Rather, Trio gives upper middle class grandma’s dining room experience, which is a mood in itself. Maybe late 90’s Sizzler? Very charming either way.
We had a surprise 60th Birthday party on the back patio for my mother. I planned this weeks in advance and they did not charge me to hold the venue or to utilize it. The staff helped me plan a delicious menu for our guests and literally helped every step of the way. They did not rush us out of the space and the wait staff is top notch! They were busy in the main dining room, as it was a Saturday night, but they allowed us to add more food when we ran out (as we had extra guests arrive last minute) and they were gracious the entire time. We have eaten here for YEARS, but this just made it even more special. The space was enclosed and even though it was cold outside they had heaters if we needed them, so it was PERFECT!
I worked with Trio to host an annual group gathering for the holidays. This is our third year at Trio; and, this year, they went above and beyond to accommodate a group that expanded well beyond our previous experience or expectations. The management and staff were incredibly helpful, professional, and attentive. Of course, the food was delicious!! I've been getting nothing but raves from our guests! The Trio Team...from front of house, to guest services, to the people that create those amazing entrees and desserts...deserve five plus stars!
