Dogwood Southern Table & Bar

I didn’t realize Dogwood Southern Table & Bar was located inside the Westin hotel in Charlotte, North Carolina but what a wonderful surprise! The space is beautiful, with a welcoming atmosphere and a large, lively bar. The standout of the evening was definitely the service—our servers Devin and Grace were absolutely incredible. They were warm, attentive, and gave us excellent recommendations. Even though we ordered a lot for just two people, they managed the timing perfectly—bringing some dishes out right away and holding a couple back so we could enjoy everything at a comfortable pace. Such thoughtful service! As for the food—it was outstanding. We started with the Carolina Board, a massive charcuterie board that felt like a meal on its own. The pimento cheese arancini were crispy, light, and so delicious. The Little Gem Caesar had the perfect balance of dressing with crunchy croutons and a refreshing bite. The comeback fries were hot and crispy, with a sauce that tied it all together beautifully. Our absolute favorite dish was the Duck and Dumplings—the duck was perfectly cooked and paired wonderfully with the dumplings, easily one of the best dishes we’ve had in Charlotte. To go with everything, I had a Tito’s dirty martini with blue cheese olives, and it was made perfectly—smooth, cold, and with some of the best blue cheese olives I’ve had. Dogwood far exceeded our expectations, and between the exceptional service, incredible food, and excellent drinks, we’ll definitely be back. Highly recommend!

My colleagues and I were in Charlotte attending the HPX Expo and spent several evenings at the bar inside The Westin Charlotte. What started as a convenient place to unwind quickly became one of the highlights of our trip. The level of hospitality from the entire team was exceptional. A special thank you to Alexus, Anna, Kandence, Oscar, Diego, Mikey, and especially Sav, whose leadership and presence helped create such a welcoming atmosphere. Every member of the team made us feel like valued guests rather than just another group passing through. Whether it was remembering our favorite drinks, sharing recommendations, engaging in great conversation, or simply greeting us with a smile after a long day at the expo, the staff consistently went above and beyond. Their professionalism, positive attitudes, and genuine care for their guests made all the difference. In an industry where great service can be hard to find, this team sets the standard. The bar had a fantastic atmosphere, excellent drinks, and a staff that truly enjoys what they do—and it shows. Thank you all for making our HPX Expo experience even more memorable. We look forward to returning to Charlotte next year and visiting again. Highly recommended!

Stopped in for a date night and had a wonderful experience. Awesome staff and delicious food. Our waiter Collin had amazing recommendations. Savannah was also very attentive. Can’t wait to dine here again. The dessert that was not on the menu was a 10/10. Went back during lunch time and tried different dishes. Food was amazing for lunch too!

My family and I dined here on Christmas Day and it was a 10 out of 10. We loved the atmosphere with all the big windows and natural light, our server was great, and the food and cocktails were perfect. We all agreed this was the best meal we had had out on Christmas Day, ever. We tried the pimento cheese arancini, duck and dumplings, seared halibut, scallops and risotto, and brussel sprouts. We loved all of it. It was a great experience all around!
