TRIP's Review of Pewter Rose

At Pewter Rose, your dining experience will be surrounded by lush greenery, original local art, and an eclectic blend of furnishings from antiques to the 1950s. The restaurant and nightclub occupy the second floor of a turn-of-the-century textile warehouse. Its original massive wood beams and soaring 30-foot ceilings, flanked front and back by walls of French paned glass, provide a unique atmosphere for dining and socializing.

With a unique menu referred to as "internationally-American," Pewter Rose draws on the diverse, ethnic, and cultural heritage of the United States, relating it to the palate of the region. Local produce, fresh seafood, poultry, beef, pork, game meats, and vegetarian items are all interpreted in unique yet comfortable ways. The extensive wine list features over 500 selections and has received numerous awards from the prestigious Wine Spectator Magazine.

Starters include scallop and shrimp balls mixed with ginger and five-spice powder, rolled in sesame seeds, deep-fried, and served with a chili-plum sauce and a cheese plate with 10 cheeses from around the world. Featured entrees include Chesapeake Crab Cakes served over a bed of organic baby greens tossed with sweet pineapple, oranges, port-soaked cherries, and lemon-pepper vinaigrette.

TRIP's Review of Shun Lee Palace

Serving the distinctly and deliciously different cuisines of the Mandarin, Szechuan, Hunan, and Cantonese regions of China, Shun Lee Palace (4340 Colwick Rd., 704-366-2025) has provided an interesting and authentic experience for generations of Charlotteans. Behind the beaded doorways, you'll find an opulent den of dark woods, fiery red accents, and excellent service where appetizers of Shrimp Toast and authentic soups such as Wonton and Egg Drop make for a tongue-tingling start. Pork, chicken, beef, or seafood are married with choices such as pineapple fried rice, egg foo young, lo mein, or chow mein noodles for extensive entree selections. Specialties include Shan-Sue Crispy Duck, Hunan Lamb, and the Cantonese traditional Moo Goo Gai Pan with side vegetables such as hot-spiced string beans or sauteed broccoli.
