As a self-proclaimed foodie I naturally get very excited when Queens Feast arrives a couple times a year. I am one of those people who peruse the menu before the week even begins and plan out exactly where I am going several days in advance. Considering many of my friends are of the vegetarian variety I was really craving a long-overdue steak. Sullivan's was convenient for its South end location, and we were able to get a nice reservation time to fit our schedule. I was impressed with the ambiance overall. It was cozy, very classy, and interesting. Photos of boxers align the walls and a large wine vault (mmm wine) displays their vast collection. We were greeted right away by very friendly staff. The Malbec I ordered was delicious - but I could see the wine list being slightly intimidating for new wine drinkers as it looked more like a novel than a list. We then received our bread which was very difficult to cut (we even heard the couple next to us say the same thing) and overly flaky but overall it tasted fresh. We decided to order the $30 Restaurant Week Menu but they had similar Summer of $69 (for two) menu that seemed to be a great deal as well. I started with just a classic Caesar salad (I have a thing for them) which tasted good but definitely wasn't anything super amazing. Next, I had the Filet with Horseradish Mashed Potatoes and Green Beans. The steak and beans were cooked wonderfully but I felt the potatoes could have used a little bit more of the Horseradish flavor. Overall the dish was excellent and definitely satisfied my hunger for a steak! Finally my date and I shared our two desserts Banana Foster Bread Pudding (WOW!) and the Chocolate Mousse. Both were very good but the Bread Pudding was a stand-out. I want to try some other steakhouses in the area since Charlotte has a plethora of them but I would definitely recommend Sullivan's - it was very good!
