300 East

The restaurant is set up in a two story house with a basement (I think - one of the customers who came in asked if anything was available downstairs). We called ahead of time to reserve a table - we showed up and waited less than 10 minutes and were seated. We trekked upstairs to a tiny 2 person spot right against the window. We dined the night after snow maggedon and it was pretty chilly out and I felt the brunt of the draft coming through the window. I wrapped up with a jacket and still enjoyed the dining experience Interior wise it’s very eclectic with a variety of shaped tables sprinkled throughout with vinyl table coverings upstairs (next time we’ll try to sit on the main floor where they have booths. We started with the french onion soup served piping hot in traditional crock bowls with a generous layer of melted Gruyere—absolutely delicious, and we both polished off our bowls. For mains, my wife had the pork chop which was tender, flavorful, and of noticeable high quality (heritage breed pigs). Thankfully I got to nibble off the rest of the meat off the bone after my wife was done! I had the salmon - cooked PERFECTLY medium-rare as requested. Fatty, tender and nicely flavored with the soy glaze; paired well with the Carolina rice and the baby kale added a nice texture with some crispy edges. I devoured the dish quickly 😬 We also tried the special beef mac as a side but unfortunately, its overpowering taco seasoning clashed with our entrees. For dessert, we shared the Dukes mayo Caramel Cake. While the cake itself was a bit dry, the whipped cream, caramel swirl, and praline nuts added great flavor and texture. I think warming the cake before serving would have made this a winner dessert. The ambiance was cozy, and service was attentive. Aside from a couple of small misses, we had a delightful evening and would recommend 300 East!

Our experience at 300 East was fantastic. Located in Dilworth, it's one of the finest spots, very close to downtown. The food was amazing and we loved the unique interiors, as the restaurant is housed in an old converted house. The portion sizes were just right for brunch, and we enjoyed the breakfast tacos and the rustic Benedict – both were delicious. The only minor drawback was that the service was a bit slow, but this may have been due to the peak hours.

Charming Atmosphere & Delicious Food I had a lovely experience dining at 300 East Restaurant. The setting is beautiful—nestled inside a cozy, historic house with plenty of natural light and outdoor seating. It felt welcoming and relaxed, perfect for a casual evening or a special occasion. I ordered a pasta dish with fresh vegetables, topped with a generous layer of parmesan, and paired it with a glass of white wine. Everything was flavorful and well-prepared. The service was friendly and attentive, and the ambiance made the meal even more enjoyable. Highly recommend this spot if you’re looking for a unique local restaurant with great food and charm. I’ll definitely be coming back!

Busy 1:30 pm Sunday spring brunch with a decent amount of patrons dining. The music inside was a bit too loud but fortunately the diners didn't try to talk louder so the noise level was still very acceptable inside. The patio was beautiful and busy but still plenty of tables to choose from. I love the diversity of the people eating here and the wait staff. All colors, sexualities, genders mixing harmoniously over good food. We will definitely be back. Easy parking in the lot behind as well was a really nice bonus! I imagine it gets very full on a busy evening.

We came here to celebrate, and everything was absolutely incredible. We started with the marinated goat cheese and French onion soup. Both were totally worth it, even though I’m dangerously lactose intolerant 😭. Then we shared the burger with caramelized onions and Gorgonzola, cooked to a perfect medium. I was way too full for dessert, but I’ll definitely be back to try it!
