Really I could give them 5 stars for atmosphere and food because I have been here for brunch, lunch and dinner and have never been disappointed. \n\nI had to knock them down one star for my most recent visit, only because the service was a little chaotic.\n\nLet me start by saying that I love 300 East.  It has a charming atmosphere, one that you would expect to see in Charleston.  They have a creative menu, different than any other restaurant in Charlotte and they are very reasonably priced.  I really have not had a bad thing here.  They are somewhat of a staple in the Dilworth area of Charlotte so the have the ability to attract people from everywhere!\n\nMy most recent visit was yesterday for brunch.  The specials sounded divine!!  They offered a PB&J stuffed French toast!!  I follow them on FB so I see all of the daily specials and they sound heavenly every single day!  The whole brunch menu is just fabulous and pretty much covers all of your cravings.  They have all the basics, the benedicts, French toast, salads, wraps, soups, appetizers and then some of their more creative concoctions.\n\nMy order was pretty basic--scrambled eggs, fruit, and bacon.  My friend ordered the French toast and literally licked her plate clean.  One thing I thought was interesting is the waitress asked us how we wanted our scrambled eggs:  Soft, medium or hard.  I can honestly say I have never been asked that before so I went with \"hard.\"  The eggs came out to my satisfaction so I guess that was the right answer!\n\nThe issue with this visit, as I mentioned earlier, was the service.  We sat there for about 10 minutes without being greeted, the drinks took FOREVER to arrive, we ordered an appetizer and it never came, I ordered hashbrowns for my side but I got a bagel, etc, etc etc.  I think it is so cool when servers can go from memory and not write anything down...but it quickly becomes uncool when their memory fails them and they botch the whole meal----ie, MY experience.  She was very apologetic and offered us a free mimosa or in this case orange juice with a splash of champagne but I really didn't want that and so it just sat there, wasted, unfortunately.  \n\nIt isn't a big deal but it was a little annoying--no manager involvement, which I would have expected at a place like 300 East but again--no big deal.  They were super busy and so these things happen.  I still love them, no hard feelings but let's not let this happen again!!
