Dining room at Bonterra Restaurant & Wine Room, Charlotte, NCIn 1895 the first permanent church was built in the new suburb of Dilworth, located just a few miles south of uptown Charlotte. In 1999, John Duncan renovated that church and opened Bonterra Restaurant. This romantic setting is rich with history, but the food is the star. The "Food for Wine" menu includes several unique spreads, house-made pâtés, a nice selection of spicy olives, and an extensive array of fromage. We recommend the Roaring Forties blue from Australia. Noteworthy starters include fried calamari and rock shrimp in blood orange and chili sauce. Bonterra’s signature dish is fried lobster tail, served with braised leek mashed potatoes, baby vegetables, sweet-and-sour mustard aïoli and a wildflower honey and soy reduction. Another worthy selection is the Niman Ranch pork chop napped in a maple rosemary glaze and served alongside cranberry polenta and sautéed Swiss chard. For dessert, we suggest crème brûlée with apple compote and shaved white chocolate. The restaurant’s open air cooler technology features 200 wines by the glass, 100 each white and red. And the list includes a good selection of dessert wines and ports.
