Q: My boyfriend and I were visiting Charlotte this weekend and I wanted to check out the local vegan cuisine. Fern is conveniently located to downtown Charlotte. The decor is fantastic-- this place really has a lot of personality! The service was wonderful...very friendly, charismatic and hospitable. We sat in the outdoor dining area, next to their garden, which I thought was a nice touch. We had the smoked onion rings as an appetizer and they were delish! I really loved the vegan remoulade. On the con side, I did feel that Fern is pricier than it needs to be. I ordered the Tofu Pad Thai as my entree and I felt that $18 is too expensive for what is essentially just carrots, tofu, and cashews. I will say that it was pretty good though. :) All in all, I would probably return. Their brunch menu looks pretty tempting. :)

Q: Lunch out on the patio was fantastic! Service was top-notch and food was stellar - I will return! Our waitress (sorry forgot her name) was so great. I got the shrimp appetizer (cooked with tequila) YUMMM-EEEE!

Q: Gorgeous architecture drew us inside and we stayed for ages exploring the place! The exhibition about children's literature was well staged and hugely informative and I was spoilt for choice in the best library shop I've ever encountered.

Q: I really wish that I could give this restaurant a better review because the food was really good. For the food alone, I'd give this place 4 stars. We saw many great reviews on yelp for this restaurant, so we decided to give it a try. It was pretty busy when we went in which was expected as it was a Friday night. We expected a wait but there was none & we were seated promptly. The waitress was completely in a hurry & seemed like she wanted us to order right away. Since we had never been to the restaurant, we were taking a look through the menu & trying to make a decision. After a few moments, we decided to order the Drunken Noodles with Chicken, medium spice & the Pad Garlic Sauce with Chicken, medium plus spice. About 25 minutes after we had ordered, we finally got our order. No one checked on us during that time to let us know our food was coming or asked us if we wanted to order something while we waited as it was going to be a while. Considering how hungry we were, we definitely would've ordered an appetizer. Like previously mentioned, the food was really good. The Drunken Noodles were full of flavor & the spice level was just right. The Pad Garlic Sauce was the same way. It came with a side of steamed mixed vegetables, which honestly, I wish they would've tossed them in the garlic sauce with the chicken but since it was a large bowl, I mixed together the rice & vegetables in it. I've eaten at quite a few different Thai restaurants in the area & it seemed like the portion sizes at this restaurant were smaller than what they normally are. For the taste, I guess it could be argued that it was worth the cost ... Maybe. After we had finished our meal, our waitress came back & dropped off the check. She didn't ask if we wanted any dessert or how our meal was (no one checked in with us while we were eating either). Not sure if we will come back .. If we do, it'll probably just be to pick up an order.
