Packard Tavern
Day 1: 5-Course Avant-American Tasting Series
Opened just this past May, this Uptown newcomer was nominated as Charlotte Observer’s “Best of Charlotte” Winner for “Best All-Around Restaurant” and “Best Tavern.” Nestled on the ground floor of historic Packard Place, Packard Tavern is garnering acclaim in the hands of Chef DJ Ivey, who previously served as Executive Chef at the esteemed Sea Level. Here, she is delighting diners with a comfort food menu that includes starters like oven roasted oysters and braised cabbage with whipped ricotta and spiced walnut gremolata, mains like carbonara, short ribs with blue grits and roasted carrots, and Antarctic salmon with cowboy caviar and charred lime, and luscious desserts like peanut butter pie, flourless chocolate torte, and affogato. Who amongst us is not fantasizing about a cozy tavern with great food? We sure are, so we are very much looking forward to our visit here and hope you’ll be able to join us!
