SouthPark is a Charlotte hub for all things retail and dining, from the iconic SouthPark Mall to newer spots like the new Restoration Hardware (with a rooftop restaurant).
There is more to SouthPark than luxury shopping. Going up and down each street of the mall’s surrounding neighborhoods of Barclay Downs, Beverly Woods and Foxcroft, you’ll notice every inch of nonresidential space is covered with either somewhere to shop or eat.
From group outings to nights on the town, we want our customers to focus on the experience, not the transportation. Let us get you to where you need to be in a comfortable and enjoyable fashion. Our professional chauffeurs and pristine fleet of vehicles allow us to service you and your guests above all expectations. Whether it be dinner or just some shopping, Black Tie Car Service will always deliver the best high-end car service. We know your free time is coveted, which is why we want to help maximize your experiences by delivering the best transportation services possible. Take a look at our list of some of the best restaurants in the South Park area and allow us to help you enjoy it!

Dilworth Tasting Room SouthPark
Owner and sommelier Jaffer Kovic, who renovated the old Dilworth Billiards space on East Tremont Avenue in 2016, opened the second DTR in February 2021 in what was Corkbuzz’s spot in Sharon Square in SouthPark. It has a more expansive interior, with a patio in front instead of a cozy nook in back, but the focus remains on “low-production” wines; the list of bottles alone takes up eight pages in a leather-bound binder, always a good sign. 4905 Ashley Park Lane, Ste. J, 980-938-4959
Good Food on Montford
1701 Montford Dr.
704-525-0881
Bruce Moffett’s small-plates bistro unites a variety of influences and flavors onto one menu, and each dish is worth ordering.
Mizu
3100 Apex Drive, 9th Floor of the Hyatt Centric SouthPark
704-981-9299
Mizu, which translates to “water” in Japanese, is the rooftop restaurant and bar SouthPark didn’t know it needed. Since it opened in late August, it’s been nearly impossible to snag a Saturday night dinner reservation. Chef Michael Chanthavong (formerly of O-Ku) serves a seafood-focused menu that uses a centuries-old Japanese barbecue method. Grab a seat at the chef’s counter to watch the Robata grill sizzle with lobster, duck breast, and charred vegetables.
