I searched for a unique place for lunch. I got exactly what I asked for and more. What an experience in the outdoor seating, nature all around you with bamboo, cedar trees (150 years) and beautiful blue sky. When we walked in Grace greeted us and asked about our birthday celebration. That impressed me as I had done that at another restaurant, it was never mentioned. Grace asked us a few questions about my birthday and how we came to find Goodyear restaurant. I mentioned my hunting of unique places to eat (no chain restaurants). We found a great place to have lunch. I mentioned the nature setting of cedar trees. It was massive. Greg, the manager came over talked a bit about the trees. Greg was attentive in answering questions. The menu was simple, but complex dishes. Two of our group had the fish of the day meal, another had The Chief Burger and I had the portobella pastrami meal. I took a risk on this meal as I’m a burger guy. I was quite surprised and impressed with the sandwich. I didn’t miss the meat part of the meal. Sister-in-law had a mimosa and asked if the lavender lemonade could be added to the drink, beautiful purple color. I would suggest adding it to your mimosa drink list. Grace came over to ask if we wanted dessert, at first we were like no. I’m celebrating 60 years and happy to be alive after my transplant 2 years ago. I asked what desserts they had, Grace talked about Peach Cobbler and then she mentioned Strawberry Cornbread Cake. I had never had that dessert before. We ordered one for the table to share. It was not a heavy dessert the right sweetness. After you leave a restaurant some things stay in your memory of I want that again and again! Well the PORTABELLO MUSHROOM REUBEN "pastrami," vegan smoked gouda, saeurkraut, 1K dressing, on rye and Strawberry Cornbread Cake. Will always be on my palate of dishes I want again. Thank you Grace and Greg for taking good care of our first time, want be our last time.

Estampa Gaucha is hands down my favorite Brazilian steakhouse in Charlotte. Every time I visit, the meat is perfectly seasoned and cooked to the correct temperature. The quality and consistency are impressive, whether it's the picanha, lamb, or any of the other cuts being served. What really sets Estampa Gaucha apart is the service. The staff is always attentive, friendly, and genuinely focused on making sure you have a great experience. Compared to other Brazilian steakhouses in the area, it feels more authentic and welcoming. The salad bar is delicious and the Gaucha service is speedy and the meats come often! My favorites are the picanaha and flank steak!! It's become my go-to place whenever friends or family come to visit Charlotte. I know they'll leave impressed every time. If you're looking for an outstanding Brazilian steakhouse experience, I highly recommend Estampa Gaucha.

We have never had a bad experience at Little Mama’s! We live 45 minutes away & wish we lived closer so we could dine here more often. The meatballs are huge & so tender. Chicken parmesan is a very generous portion. We love the bread, which our server made sure to keep bringing more of. The tiramisu is my daughter’s favorite tiramisu out of all the ones she has ever eaten. Our server was so efficient & very prompt. She boxed our meals & labeled them for us. The price is very reasonable. Can’t think of anything that wasn’t just perfect during our meal.

The mozzarella sticks & the vodka pizza are so good. I sat at the bar & the bartender was very attentive despite having other tables. My food came out hot & fresh & the drinks are also amazing, I recommend the lavender 75 with gin.
