- VLVanessaLeighGoldCharlotte •9 reviews4.0Dined on Oct 24, 2026I'd marked that it was our anniversary and just expected a nice table, but the head server (Christian, I believe) went above and beyond to make it such a special and amazing night for us. He truly surprised and delighted, and is an amazing and attentive server to boot. We're so grateful to have had such a lovely and delicious dinner--everyone was so nice and caring. Wings were so crispy and yummy, and we both loved our entrees. And the buttermilk cake! The only thing I would say is that the rice on the tuna came out a bit colder than expected, but the flavor was still delicious. Just a wonderful night all around. Thank you all!More infoChurch and Union - Charlotte$$$$• American• Uptown•4.5
