Reviews for Hunter House & Gardens in Huntersville, NC

Let me start out by saying it's a STUNNING venue packed with rich history. Absolutely incredible place from the flower/food/herb... gardens out back to the leopard print walls..... this, is a Cool place. Sit at the bar, it is quite surprising ????????. Craftcocktails made to YOUR specifications and quite a large selection of things. Get the grits, you can tell they're slow cooked,the andouillie sausage takes me away to New Orleans .. may be a small menu, but it's comfort food done well. Read more

Tl;dr: glad I went. Don't see a reason for us to go back tbh. A $128 tab for 2 entrees of grits and meat + 2 cocktails seemed a... bit overpriced for my taste. Hunters House is absolutely beautiful. Learned a little history of the place I live in and had agood dining experience. Glad we finally got a chance to come check it out. Food: ordered scallop & grits and the meat loaf. Itwas tasty but wasn't mind blowing or the best I've ever had. By no stretch of my imagination was the scallop and grits worth $44but that's with my limited of experience of never having scallops. Out of the two, the meatloaf was def better for me. Had mywife finished her plate, I'd have left hungry. Lucky for me she didnt ???? We also left and had to get dessert on our own?Didn't see anything on the menu. Staff: super nice and accommodating. We had Lawrence, who was on his first run as a waiter,from back of house. He was great and we were pleased with his knowledge and service. Cocktails: Ordered Smoked Old Fashionedand Georgia Derby. They were ok. Again, not the best I've ever had, but I was satisfied. The hand cut ice was a nice touch.Smoke smelled delicious. Ambiance: 10/10 all day. Beautiful decor, music to match, and perfect lighting. The spot to go if youwant to dress up and spend some $$.

We had an amasing experience here! We came to celebrate a birthday and had no idea that there would be such personal touches to... our dinner and cocktails. They really went above and beyond to make the experience special and unique. Read more

A great place for either just drinks or dinner. Wonderful craft cocktails and an amazingly diverse menu! Whether you’re in the... mood for an app and a special cocktail, charcuterie board, or entree of andouille sausage meatloaf or delicate scallops andcreamy grits this homey, antique filled restaurant has it all! The grounds are beautiful with fire pits and Adirondack chairsand the host is warm, friendly and goes out of her way to make you feel like family. Ask for Ellen and the “Second GradeRecess”!

First time at this beautiful estate the last week of April with a colleague - I'm from KC and he's from Charlotte. Venue: The... ambiance, landscaping, decor, interior/exterior design, is truly pristine and had a great attention to detail - all while stillkeeping the vintage or original feel of the house/mansion. The landscaping and large trees are wonderful to look at whetherhaving a drink or dining outside. Luckily for us, they had just completed their new, great bar area inside. The custom designand features are very, very cool and inviting. This site is a perfect fit for so many categories: happy hour, date night,wedding/reception, clients, work team "get together". Food: APP: We shared the jumbo shrimp cocktail They didn't skimp orexaggerate on the word "Jumbo" and the homemade cocktail sauce had spice and wonderful flavors Dinner: We both got the samething - Scallops U10 - which was very good, flavorful, light - but filling. The glaze and drizzle was a perfect pair with thescallops and quinoa. Unfortunately, our own fault, we got the same thing, instead of trying multiple/sharing multipledishes. Staff: The head bartender is an artist to say the least and I realize the label of "artist" is thrown around often. He/they have their own custom made cocktails but his creative and experienced mind allows him to make custom made drinks basedon preferences: He'll ask: what kind of liqueur, flavors, smokey, sweet/spicy, etc... Wonderful bar area for date night orhappy hour with friends for custom made drinks and a performance of delivering said drinks. Unfortunately, I only have picsfrom their custom version and presentation of their smokey old fashion. Attached. The owner and wait staff were all very kind,inviting, prompt, knowledgeable, and happy to share the history of the property. The venue, food, staff, and drinks/bartenderwe're all very impeccable and I hope to return every quarter when I visit Charlotte for work. I highly, hig Read more

This is an absolute GEM in Huntersville!!! The handcrafted drinks will simply blow you away, tipped with fresh cut flowers. The... food was delicious and the service was top tier. Very impressed!!! The lawn area is so beautiful. Read more

Amazing night at the newly renovated bar! The bartenders were great. Drinks were delicious and had beautiful presentations.

Went for the first time with a dinner reservation as part of the Queen's Feast, and because reservation fell on the 12th which... happened to be part of their Valentine's day dates, we ended paying $40 a person instead of $30 for the same dish offerings. Theentree' portions were a little on the small side and not enough when you're quite hungry, but on the plus side, they weredelish. I was skeptical about the meatloaf because it came with grits, but I was immensely surprised at how good it was. Lovedthe sweet potato cornbread. The chocolate mousse torte was dense and so rich. Not for someone who don't like sweets too much.For Rose' wine lover, the AIX Rose' had a more white wine flavor to it. Overall, it was a great experience. Christine, ourserver was wonderful. Read more
