Mimosa Grill

For over two decades, Mimosa Grill has stood as a signature experience in Uptown Charlotte, combining modern Southern flavors with the energy of the Queen City. Tucked along South Tryon Street, this upscale yet approachable restaurant is more than a place to eat—it’s where the spirit of Charlotte comes alive on the plate and in the atmosphere.

From its early beginnings in 1996, when Uptown was quiet and unassuming, Mimosa Grill has been a trailblazer. It was one of the first restaurants to bring fine dining and farm-to-table principles into the city’s core. Today, it continues to draw in locals, business professionals, and visitors with its dynamic menu, elegant interiors, and enviable location.
