Upper Crust Bar & Social Club

I have to agree with Kay S. Took friends there ¹⁄₁₅ for dinner. Lovely table facing the fireplace, but only after asking for it. Seafood dip appetizer was lovely, but from there not so much. Lobster Pot Pie served barely warm, and no sauce, but did have lots of lobster. Rock Shrimp Mac and Cheese tasted good, but if there were 3 pieces of cut up shrimp I’d be surprised. And the portion was tiny for an entrée at $ 15,95, Our server was attentive and pleasant We decided we would only go back for the bar and not dinner. Such a shame as the first time everything was top notch.

Incredibly disappointed and will never go back. We had 4 courses, drinks and spent a good bit of money. We were having good conversation after dinner with friends that we here to have dinner and were told the there were8:30 reservations for the table that we were at. This is not nyc and the food wasn’t that good to warrant running us off. I know tables need to be turned but don’t forget that when someone spends $ 250 for dinner they might want to hang out for awhile.

maybe i had high expectations from all the great reviews. drinks were great. nice selection. fancy special. peel n eat shrimp r plump and tasty. chicken ravioli are tasty with the spicy marinara. raviola was bland. very disapponted in the louis salad though. crab was very strong tasting and overpowering. nice lettuces. intersting dressing. nice décor. friendly staff.

So amazing! Told that Charlotte didn’t have a good seafood restaurant. …but Davidson does! So great, staff, food, drinks. all amazing!

Unilocal needs to post the full name, Upper Crust Bar & Social Club, because the name fully describes the gem. We are from out of town & found this place on Unilocal.We were unsure about going. The entrance is a single door the opens to a staircase, so we stood there, half expecting a speak easy & needing a pass word. We were pleasantly surprise by several friendly hostesses. You need a reservation, which we didn’t have, but we were fortunate to get a place @ the bar. Personally, I think this made the night. Cindy & Jess, the bartenders, were wonderful in conversation & recommendations. Jess makes everything on the menu sound like you got to have it. We started off with specialty cocktails, bread basket, & oysters, all excellent. It was fresh & tasty. Followed by a zesty ceviche with a glass of wine for me & a florentine ravioli for my wife. The ceviche was good, different for me. I think it would fit better for me as an afternoon hors d’œuvre on a warm day. The ravioli was very good & more fit our mood. I did have an excellent shrimp bisque that was perfect to end my evening. My wife had a dark chocolate brownie with gelato. All in all, a wonderful experience.

Wonderfully fresh seafood served amidst tasty organic offerings, with an eclectic, yet affordable, wine list and in an atmosphere that just feels perfect.
The beautiful brick interior and heavy wooden beam ceiling provided wonderful acoustics for the live music tonight. Service was wonderful! My shrimp were cooked perfectly and the artisan bread assortment appetizer was highlighted by the most creamy butter. The sugar encrusted bacon dark chocolate brownie with vanilla gelato dessert… well, let’s just say, «Foodie Nirvana!»

We came here the third week it was open and just came to get drinks. The drinks were decent. The atmosphere feels a little bit generic.

Lived up to the hype! Was hoping for a place with a cool vibe, warm atmosphere AND good food. Nice to find all three in Davidson. The hostess and wait staff have been spot on both times we visited. So far we’ve tried four different dishes and everything has been delicious! We also especially enjoyed the live music both times we were there. Comfortable and cozy, we loved it! A few more beer choices and I’m in heaven, close to home!

Sara is an amazing chef. Wonderful intimate space with a club atmosphere. Check out the seafood tower.

The food is incredible the presentation is a piece of art
What an amazing addition to davidson.
It can not get any better than that will bring all my friends here

******5 stars all the way! *******I’m a bit partial but still have an opinion and mine is that this place is more than expected. Much, much more!
