   Our service was very good. Our entree was well prepared and quite creative with flavor profiles that all worked well with each other. Surprisingly reasonably priced compared to the gouging of other good dining options in Charlotte. The acoustics are such that sound doesn't seem to absorb well, making it hard to hear each other even across a small table. I still will return but this could be problematic if you had a larger party or someone hard of hearing.

   Cool spot with nice ambience. A bit crowded with tables (not the crowd). Our server was monotone and appeared as if he was not "in the game". He did state that a large party was seated before us as we continued to experience delay after delay (clients generally don't want hear that someone else is more important). They were out of some basic wines (concerning from a business perspective). Food was acceptable but not up to the prices they commanded. A member of our party made a statement to the Chef on the delay and he was kind enough to address this at the table. Ho hum experience for some folks from out of town.

   The staff was super friendly and accommodating, and the ambiance was great! I wanted to love this place, but the food was both over cooked and cold. We came for brunch. It wasn’t crowded or overrun or anything- but our food came out visibly burnt in places and cold all the way through.

   We recently had an excellent experience at Haymaker. We sat upstairs and while it is fairly simple surroundings we were comfortable and it was certainly quieter. The food was excellent. We started with some pickled veggies, a dish with some cauliflower, carrots and jalapeños. For dinner with had the salmon, and the mushroom bolognese (vegetarian). Both were excellent and we would order again. Service was excellent, attentive without being intrusive. All in all an excellent experience and left us wanting to try more choices ahead!

   I enjoyed visiting Haymaker. The ambiance, the food, and the drinks are top-notch! The only issue you may experience is parking. Perhaps take a ride share on a busy night in Uptown Charlotte.

   The mixologist was very accommodating and friendly. Our service was a bit awkward to be honest. My food personally was great but the 2 guests that got the pasta complained that it was very salty. Also I realize our reservation was for 8 and we were there a little past 10 but it almost felt like we were putting the staff out. For the price we shouldn’t have felt like we were annoying to the employees.

    Our server was totally disengaged. We had cold food but surprisingly she never even came back to our table to see how things were. My son didn’t have a fork. She said the orange juice was fresh cold pressed. I’m quite sure it was just your normal restaurant grade OJ. It definitely didn’t have any fresh Farm quality to it. I would have preferred the truth. She even gave me a farm name. We got ketchup one ounce at a time and had to wait for that too. The jalapeño biscuit was on point, and the bread for the BLT was delicious even though over-buttered for the grill. However it was jut the waiting waiting waiting that drove us over the edge coupled with cold entrees. It would have been so nice to have condiments.

    We’ve been wanting to go here and we’re excited to get a reservation for a Sunday brunch. The food options are limited but all sounded fantastic. We were a party of 5 and all ordered something different … nothing tasted all that wonderful. Most of it was over cooked or just ok.

    This place was not busy. However, I noticed our waitress having conversations with the other staff which delayed our service. From the time we sat down, it took her 15 mins to come back over and take our order after giving us water. We ordered, the food came out pretty fast and was very delicious.I then noticed it was another server that started assisting us since our waitress was back in deep conversation with the other staff. The other server helped us get our check and got us checked out efficiently.

    Tried Haymaker for brunch, not impressed by the overall experience. Our server was not attentive, had to ask for our server to be sent over after being seated for 5+ minutes. It was not overly busy. The mimosas had more juice than alcohol. The beignets were just okay. The Haymaker bowl was good — good quality bacon with great taste, potatoes were nice and crunchy and I’m not a big fan of potatoes for any meal. The jalapeño biscuits was dry and somewhat over cooked, requested butter after the first bite which I never received. Location was convenient for a walk in the park afterwards. Food okay, mimosas more juice than alcohol and service was subpar. Don’t plan on returning.

    Food was delicious and came out HOT. Chef-driven, ingredient-inspired and helpings were generous -especially the desserts! Don’t miss the Carolina shrimp, cooked perfectly and the sweet potatoes were outstanding. Cocktails on point too-will be back for a Hornet’s Nest ASAP. Service was fun, professional and attentive. Savannah elevated our already great experience.

    I’ve been to brunch several times before but my friend hadn’t… so we went. It was embarrassing for it being her first time. The service was great - our waiter was friendly, attentive and understanding. However, the food was horrible. A lot of the items were heavily salted and mimosa was made with cheap champagne. We hardly ate anything. What’s so disappointing is that the breakfast I ordered I’ve had before and it was great. This place has really gone downhill.

    Food was overall very good. Meat & cheese board was pretty basic but everything else was good, including the craft cocktails. The server was nice enough but we had to flag her and others down for stuff. Considering the kind of place this is, I was stunned when the food runner dropped our food off and none of us had silverware. She walked away and we had to ask someone to get utensils to eat our food with. I personally sat with both my water and cocktail glasses empty for at least 15 minutes as our server walked by and looked right at our table at least 4 times. I could keep going with observations but you get the drift. Still giving 4 stars because my only real complaint was the service staff having an off night and our previous (brunch) experience was excellent.

    Waiter was inattentive. Waited over 20 minutes for him to greet us (only after i let the hostess know that no one had come by yet). Then had a bit of a annoyed attitude throughout. After dinner, did not come to check on us for over 30 minutes (this is after 30 minutes to eat). He had gone to a larger group 4 times and another table at least twice before coming to our's. We did not get refills on water, asked if we wanted any other drinks or dessert. Recommend takeout or bar only.

    The shrimp curry small plate was interesting and tasty, and good that it came with a wet cloth napkin because quite messy. The salmon was delicious and the broccolini had wonderful flavor. We thought the mushroom toast could use more herbs/spice. The blueberry bread pudding was excellent. The service was also excellent. Will definitely be back.
