Optimist Hall

"This is the perfect place for a big group as there is something for everyone! Or you can all order what you'd like and sample all the yummy options. We enjoyed the grilled cheese, Gelato, plant shop and beer!"

"An unique eating establishment with more than 30 different restaurants and bars. A place where everyone in your group can find satisfying food. Pros: plenty of seating areas inside and outside. Bars and restaurants located throughout the square. The courtyard is in the middle with a grassy area and seats. Cons: Parking free for 90 minutes, after that $5.00 per 3 hours. If you go try something different - you might be surprised!"

"This place is a cute place to grab lunch. Whether it's a business meeting or just a break from work, it was a great environment with various different food options. From sushi, ramen, burgers, deserts, and they even had something for the pups!"

"We stopped by at this place for lunch since the website stated that this place has different restaurants and store to choose for. We like the food court concepts with different food and beverages options. We ordered noodles and dumplings from the Dumpling lady and they were so good! Get their lunch combo for pick any noodle with 4 dumplings. We also ordered empanadas and famous Harriet's cheeseburgers and fries. They also have candy store and got some old times favorites candies. This place also has pet store that carry dog's food and treats, they have paper stores as well. The service was pretty decent, we didn't wait too long for our food but we were there at 1pm. I like the ambience of this place too, very modern, clean, and fun. They also have water filling station so you can just ask for clear cup and fill your water. The optimist hall also offer 90 minutes free parking so make sure you scan the barcode and enter your license plate #. I heard they are very strict with the parking so pay attention to your parking time. Hopefully we can come and visit this place again next time we visit Charlotte."

"Its a beautiful place to hang out with family or friends for lunch and spare time. I usually go there for lunch with my colleagues and we enjoy being there due to different food choices, easy access location and enough parking spots. The place looks so vintage and gives different feelings of being there. One of my favorite spot for food and to hang out."
