If you love being surrounded by art, The Gallery Restaurant, located inside the beautiful Ballantyne Hotel, is the perfect spot to have brunch/lunch or dinner if you find yourself in the Ballantyne area. We stopped in for lunch this past Saturday, and The Gallery allowed us to escape the heat that has descended upon the Carolinas.
I just love the decor inside The Gallery, and I definitely need to find a way to have a party of eight so we can enjoy this unique seating area…
While I thought about trying out the Chicken & Waffles with Blueberry Glaze, I ended up going with the same option I had the last time we dined at The Gallery, because sometimes it’s good to go with what you know.
Crab Cakes Benedict and a Chocolate Chip Brioche…
After lunch it’s always a good idea to walk around the halls of the Ballantyne Hotel. They have a permanent art display on the walls leading to the lobby area showing off colorful whimsy views of some of Charlotte’s well-known landmarks…
If the weather’s not too warm out, eating outside is a must. You’ll a view of the golf course, and this beautiful garden area.
While we were walking around the hotel, we started planning our staycation at the Ballantyne Hotel, something that we’ve been thinking about for a while now.
We’ve enjoyed many afternoon teas here as well, and it should be a part of every stay at The Ballantyne.
