I recently just went to Zebra and I have to say it was DELICIOUS! I got the lamb tenderloind diablo, which was sooo tender and cooked to perfection. I recommend it. I also got the jumbo crab cake which was pretty good too. The place can be a little pricey so for those of you that don't want to spend all that money I found a place online called halfoffdepot. They have a deal where you pay just $20...

Read More On Citysearch Citysearch User 1/29/2010 - Rude ManagementBusiness professionals beware - apparently cell phones are not appropriate in the dining room - nor is texting or checking emails. I agree with the stance that no calls should be taken...however the way it was handled was COMPLETELY RUDE. Manager came over with dirty dishes and reprimanded me rather than politely explain the situation and asking that I refrain from looking at my email (I don't ...

Without question, my favorite restaurant in Charlotte!
Read More On Citysearch airjulz 8/24/2009 - A great Charlotte RestaurantSecond dinner visit to this highly rated establishment. Service is very attentive albeit very slow. I think it's dictated by the kitchen which seems to be having some problems. Appetizer order taken but then told that they were out. Entree which was highly rated was dry, over peppered and cold. However, the other in my party seemed to be pleased. Will try once more but not on my top 10 list.

Read More On Citysearch Lisa14 7/28/2009 - SIMPLY GREATGreat experience no matter what anyone tells you. I went there with my wife on Tuesday nite, we didn?t have a reservation but even so we were promptly greeted by one of the servers. The experience was awesome, REGARDLESS of the fact that they were clearly understaffed. I had mushroom soup while my wife enjoyed their vase salad. My wife has some dietary restrictions which were met without a probl...

It was three of us at the table and they charged our account extra $70 dollars. When confronting them about this error via phone, they had an attitude. Was disappointed in the service.
Read More On Citysearch Citysearch User 6/27/2009 - Nowhere near as good as anticipatedWe visited Zebra for the first time on a Friday night. The restaurant was half empty the entire evening and we expected better service as a result, but our waiter disappeared for long periods of time without coming to check on us. (Other waiters nearby, however, checked more frequently on surrounding tables.) The food was ok but not memorable. We will not likely return.
Read More On Citysearch amontgom 6/7/2009 - Zebra is a rare findIn my professional I travel extensively and eat at fine dining establishments all over the world. This little bistro is in the top 3 in the country for service and quality of food. This is a do not miss when in Charlotte, North Carolina.

Read More On Citysearch trysports08 5/18/2009 - not very goodThey have the table arranged together like the people on the next table were on our table, we couldn't even talk. It was very noisy and not very clean. Target's bathroom's are nicer than theirs. The food was ok but it definitely wasn't worth the money at all.

Read More On Citysearch Citysearch User 1/4/2009 - Worst Dining Experience EverMy experience at this restaurant was truly appalling. I can't even recall if I was able to enjoy the cuisine, as the service was like nothing I have ever experienced, and I am a part of the industry. Upon walking in, instead of a pleasant greeting, we were welcomed with a highly pretentious and rude individual that rendered our entire group speechless. As if his behavior weren't obscene enough, t...

The French Laundry, Per Se, Daniel, Marco Pierre White in London and on and on,
I have found a gem in Charlotte North Carolina!
Zebra seems an unsung hero in a world of mediocrity, from their 900 bottle wine
list to the chef's grand tasting, Zebra has everything a foody could expect.

Read More On Citysearch Gourmetman 9/12/2008 - snoring snobOK....So we are new to Charlotte and trying all sorts of new places. Keep in mind we came from NY where restaurants are supreme. I'm used to paying a lot for a meal and leaving hungry. I am NOT used to spending a fortune and having the arrogant owner critique my order. PLUS, we had a gift certificate as a house warming gift. NOT a coupon but a "same as cash" certificate. And because we bought int...
Read More On Citysearch licious13 7/31/2008 - Our guest's ravedThe chef & serving staff were extremely professional, accomdating, & friendly. We used their fine catering in our home, for our son's wedding. They exceeded our expectations. The presentation of the food in their signature baskets was done in our home, as it is in the restaurant. The food not only looked beautiful, but tasted even better. I would highly recommend their catering service if you ar...
Read More On Citysearch Citysearch User 7/30/2008 - Mediocrity is the hallmarkWe looked forward to Zebra as we had heard so many good things. The restaurant was quite full due to Charlotte restaurant week. We arrived at 7:00 for our reservation. The waiter was nice but not attentive. It took 40 minutes to have our order taken. Appetizers arrived within 15 minutes and were good. It took well over an hour for dinner to arrive with no visits by our waiter during this pe...
Read More On Citysearch gwakja 7/20/2008 - Best in CharlotteFine dining has become a hobby for my wife and I and we've had the Chef's tasting menu with wine pairing multiple times and every time the food (and wine) was fantastic. Chef Alexander has to be one of the very best chefs in Charlotte, this is the restaurant that we compare all others to. It's classic french cooking done very well. For my wife's birthday, the chef even prepared a special cake...
Read More On Citysearch shannonrsmith 7/11/2008 - Great for special occasionsI took my husband here last evening for his birthday. We don't get to out often, so when we do go to dinner we take care in choosing a great restaurant that is highly recommended. My husband brought me to Upstream for my birthday, so I was compelled to choose as lovely a restaurant as he chose for me. We were not dissapointed in the food, but I can't give it a perfect score.
First off we ha...

Read More On Citysearch Citysearch User 6/6/2008 - Funny thingCould it be that three that posted TERRIBLE reviews for Zebra where there on the same night and at the same table? Weird. They must not have had anything better to talk about than what they were going to post that night when they got home! I must say I STRONGLY disagree. I happened to be there the same night as the slide show. I just chose not to look in that room. Not that hard. They paid ...
Read More On Citysearch runner1me 5/28/2008 - ZebraI have been to Zebra many times and every time it has been exceptional. I love their lobster bisque. They have a very knowledgeable staff who will help with pairing your food with just the right wine. The atomsphere is warm and cozy at dinner time. They also have a patio that is nice to sit in for lunch. I will definitely keep going back !

My family and I was able to enjoy a nice restaurant for a fraction of the normal cost.
Read More On Citysearch pbt3075 5/19/2008 - F for Fail.Avoid an expensive, poorly seasoned, and ill conceived meal. They couldn't even get the lighting right. The medical presentation slide show in the next room during dinner hours should have clued us into the disappointing evening we were in for. The food looked great, A+ for presentation. F- for flavor. Fail on service. We will never go back. You can get a better meal for 1/3 the price, do...
Read More On Citysearch bob1974 5/18/2008 - Worst Meal in 5 YearsAfter spending over $350 - I can easily say this is one of the worst meals I have had in 5 years.
The restaurant was about 60% full on a Saturday - a bad sign. The decor was cheesey, with flashing, almost Christmas style lighting hanging from the ceiling. The atmosphere was topped off by a large corporate group from a Pharmaceutical company that were projecting images of lungs on a large scre...
Read More On Citysearch gavinxxx 5/18/2008 - Too Special Just for Special Occasions!This is the highest quality restaurant that I have encountered in Charlotte. From the physical setting, to the attention to detail in presentation and service, there has never been a disappointment here for me or my guests. Don't put off going for only special occasions. Elegant understatement!
Read More On Citysearch Citysearch User 5/5/2008 - Zebra Restaurant & Fine CateringZebra Restaurant & Fine Catering offers a great 3 course lunch special for only $17.50. The food is seasoned to perfection. With your lunch you can enjoy another Zebra special which includes delectable 2 for 1 souffles. You have to try of of the many hot souffles of the day, the frozen grand marnier souffle is the best.
Read More On Citysearch Citysearch User 12/16/2007 - Best Restaturant in CharlotteThe food was exceptional. This is the #1 food dining out experience I have had in Charlotte. The vase salad was awesome, the foie gras was great, the chicken provencal was cooked perfect and tasted wonderful. Serivce was great, but the food was the best. I would suggest this restaturant to anyone who enjoys a true culinary experience, not someone who does not appreciate fine foods, or in othe...
Read More On Citysearch luvthewho 12/2/2007 - Slow service, Food is just OK, decoration looks cheapIf you are not planning to order a bottle of wine, don't go there: the waiter will ingore your table for almost an hour, spending most of his time serving the table(s) that order a bottle of wine. Food is just OK, not as good as expected.

Zebra has never disappointed me and reminds me of some of my favorite New York City's restaurants. That is one reason why I love to dine there. The second reason being the food; the food is good. My favs are truffle mushroom soup, foie gras, and sole. Oh yeah, never forgo any of the desserts! The third reason: handsome...
Read More On Citysearch womanwhohaseverything 7/31/2007 - Maiden voyage for French CuisineThis was our first experience with French cuisine and it was truly a very favorable one. The service was excellent. The staff is very attentive and was keenly alert to our needs. The waiter, Joe in our case, was knowledgeable about the menu and could translate some dishes that were unrecognizable to us as well as make very good recommendations. The appetizer we selected was the crab cake and ...

Read More On Citysearch arankagan 11/12/2006 - Amazingly well done food, nice experience.The food, wine list and service were exceptional. The "vase" salad was the best salad I have had in quite a while and lead up to wonderfully balanced entrees. I did find their dinning room overcrowded and the patio needs more attention paid to it, especially the lighting. If they could make the dinning room more intimate then this experience would have scored a 10 in all departments!
