💛 A little thought from our corner of Charlotte...

Behind every reservation, every cocktail, and every meal is a small team working hard to create something special.

We’re the kind of place that still celebrates every reservation, appreciates every share, and never takes a guest for granted.

Thank you for choosing local, spreading the word, bringing in friends, and helping us do what we love.

If it’s been a while, we’d love to welcome you back. And if you haven’t visited yet, we’d be honored to cook for you. ✨

Our Braised Kale & Smoked Tomato is proof that simple ingredients can be deeply flavorful. We braise tender kale and juicy tomatoes with plenty of garlic and smoked paprika for a rich, savory dish with just the right touch of smoke.
 
Fully Vegan & Gluten-Free (V, GF) and ready to be paired with your favorite cocktail, w**e, or local b**r.
 
Nothing says Friday night quite like a table full of great food. Reserve your spot and kick off the weekend with us. See you soon! 🥂

What a night. 🥂✨

If you joined us for Saturday’s art opening, you experienced the beautiful work of Marianne Huebner, now on display at Artisan’s Palate through November.

Marianne’s latest collection, Metta, is inspired by the practice of loving-kindness and connection. Her paintings invite you to slow down, be present, and discover something new each time you sit with them. Thoughtful, layered, and deeply personal, they’re the kind of work that stays with you long after you’ve left.

So naturally, we raise a glass to the artist! Meet Cosmos on Gold 🍊🥃, our artist-inspired cocktail: bourbon, Ancho Reyes, demerara, smoke, salt, habanero bitters, and a charred orange peel. A little smoky, a little spicy, and perfectly suited to the art.

A huge thank you to Beauty & the Blues for the incredible live music that helped make the evening so special. 🎶✨

Come for the art. Stay for the cocktail.❤️

A Tuscan w**emaker, hand-cut pasta, seafood simmered in the season’s final tomatoes, and w**es with generations of history behind them. Wednesday is shaping up to be something special.

This Wednesday, we’re honored to welcome Diletta Malenchini of Tuscany’s historic Malenchini Estate for an intimate w**e dinner at Artisan’s Palate.

For this special evening, Chef Christa has created a seasonal tasting menu inspired by the flavors and traditions of Tuscany, while incorporating carefully selected ingredients from North Carolina’s fall harvest whenever possible. Because this is a true chef’s tasting experience, some dishes won’t be finalized until we see what’s freshest from our farmers and producers this week.

A small preview of what’s to come:
🍅 Cacciucco alla Livornese
A traditional Tuscan seafood stew featuring local end-of-season tomatoes.
🍝 Hand-Cut Pasta with Duck Sugo & Black Garlic

Rustic, rich, and deeply rooted in the flavors of Italy.

Throughout the evening, Diletta will guide guests through her family’s w**es, sharing the stories, heritage, and traditions behind each glass.

✨ Meet the w**emaker
🍷 Enjoy thoughtfully paired Tuscan w**es
🍽️ Experience a seasonal chef’s tasting menu
🍂 Discover how Tuscan traditions meet North Carolina’s fall harvest through food and w**e.

This is more than a dinner. It’s an opportunity to slow down, gather around the table, and experience Tuscany through its food, w**e, and stories, without ever leaving Charlotte.

🎟️ Seating is limited. Reserve your spot through Eventbrite before this one-night-only experience sells out.

🍂✨ Welcome to October, Charlotte!

One of our favorite things about this time of year is filling the restaurant with the aromas of fall.

This week for our ‘Craft Series’ our bartender Anji captured a little behind-the-scenes look at how we make our house-made chai, one of the seasonal flavors that returns every autumn.

From carefully blending the spices to brewing each batch from scratch, it’s a reminder that the little details matter.

The chai is ready. The fall cocktails are flowing. The cozy vibes are here.
Now we just need you. ☕🍁

See you soon at Artisan’s Palate.

Something a little different is coming this Wednesday. 🥃

For this month’s Women of Wh***ey, we’re stepping away from our traditional paired dinner format and gathering around something a bit more intimate: a guided exploration of Irish wh***ey and the remarkable women helping shape its future.

The word wh***ey comes from the Gaelic uisce beatha—“water of life”—and on Wednesday, September 30th at 6:30 PM, we’ll raise a glass to that tradition while celebrating two incredible women in Irish wh***ey:

🥃 Alex Thomas, Master Blender, Bushmills 
🥃 Lora Hemy, Master Blender, Roe & Co

For $57 per person, you’ll enjoy:

✨ A curated tasting of three Irish wh***eys
✨ One handcrafted wh***ey cocktail
✨ Seasonal small bites from Chef Christa Csoka
✨ An intimate discussion about Irish wh***ey, its history, and the women behind these celebrated spirits
We know this one is a bit last-minute, but seating is intentionally limited to keep the experience personal and conversational.

If you’d like to join us, reserve your seat now through Eventbrite before they’re gone.
