This is my favorite spot in charlotte! Such a great vibe Once you experience Fumee you are bored without vibe dining. Must visit!
I'm not sure why I have reviews the restaurant yet, but it's one of my favorites. I went here after church Sunday because another restaurant I wanted to try was closed. This is one of my favorite brunch spots. It's solid. Good music, good food, good service, and good drinks. I always recommend it when people ask about places to eat brunch. I'm a creature of habit and almost always order the chicken and waffles. The waffles have a crisp outside with a fluffy center. The chicken is fried crisp as well. I usually don't add syrup to mine because the drizzle and powdered sugar are sweet enough for me. The fruit topping is also fresh. This time I tried the Fumee Famous wings for a second time. I thought I loved them the first time but they were just ok to me this time. I think there was too much honey is the sauce or too much sauce. The last time I think I got more of the Old Bay flavor versus the honey. I'm not sure if I would try it again. For dry January, they have crafted mocktails, I tried the Apple Fizz which was pretty tasty.
This is a popular spot in North Charlotte, it was packed when we visited. Make a reservation if possible or prepare to wait. There's a DJ to keep things lively which is nice. Food is good and service is fast. It's more like a lounge than a restaurant but there's plenty of seating and tables.
The food was honestly so delicious. Staff was great and there was excellent customer service as well. The vibe was a 10/10 and I will be going back!
Food was delicious vibes were amazing and servers were so sweet. ordered a Surf and Turf plate , Steak was cooked perfect and the Crab cakes were amongst the best I've had anywhere!
This was a really good restaurant my friends and I tried out ! Our waitress was very nice and attentive ! Drinks were really good ! Chicken and waffles were really good as well , don't really need syrup. The ambiance was great and it was decorated really lovely .. the music was a bit loud for my liking if you are having a conversation. They have hookah and a photographer for pictures.
I dined in at Fumee last night for a birthday celebration. This was my fourth time visiting this lounge. I must honestly say that in one year the food, customer service and overall experience has improved significantly. My guests and I had a great time there was even a DJ! I ordered the philly cheesesteak and had a Caramel Apple mule. To my surprise the drink was not too sweet. It was mixed to perfection. My friend that is in town celebrating her birthday had fries and chicken wings with a side car drink. There wasn't any complaints from anyone at our table. Our server's name is Rose. She constantly checked on us, removed empty plates promptly and kept the drinks flowing. The entire vibe is chill. This place is a great look for our city.
Overall great vibe and experience. I went with a group of friends for brunch on Saturday. We were initially worried about being let into the establishment as we weren't exactly dressed for the recommended attire as we were already out and about and decided last minute on this location, but they let us in so we are grateful for that! It wasn't very packed for brunch which worked in our favor. We had quick and attentive service We started with a round of drinks and everyone was pleased. The espresso martini was stronggggg!! Probably one of the best I've had in a while. My friends opted for a couple of mimosas and an old fashioned. Everyone at the table all thought the drinks were strong. It makes up for the price of them because we didn't need to order more than one each. As far as food, the majority of us all had a pleasant experience. I will say one friend had dairy and meat restrictions so she wasn't able to enjoy anything other than a side of eggs because they wouldn't allow for changes to menu items. That's one thing that could be improved upon. The crab cake Benedict was amazing! A lot of restaurants offer small Benedicts, but I received two large ones. We also had wings, chicken and waffles, biscuits and gravy, and shrimp and grits without the sauce. The food was flavorful. We didn't purchase hookah, but a lot of the tables were enjoying it and all seemed to be having a good time. The decor is beautiful and the I think they've taken notes on other reviews about music because we didn't think it was too loud at all. Overall a great time and we will definitely go back!

I highly recommend stopping into this beautiful spot! This place was the definition of an elevated lounge experience. Drinks, food, great music, and hookah. The decor was so tasteful and detailed. From the wicker basket light fixtures, to the woven tapestries, to the bold leather chairs there were elements of class. I loved that they dimmed the lights during the dinner crowd which enhanced the intimacy of the space and helped bring out the smoothness in the R&B they had on rotation. So atmosphere a 10/10. Then the food ended up being delicious too! I highly recommend the deep fried lobster tail with the mustard sauce. Also, the Caesar salad with grilled shrimp was just right. The drinks were as beautiful as they were strong. I got the right mix of "cute enough for a picture" and strong enough to only need two rounds. So the fare also 10/10. Lastly, I want to comment on the service. Our waitress was excellent! 10/10. Definitely ask for Shawn with the glasses if you plan to stop in. She will make sure you are treated well. She stopped by at the right times to give us time to absorb the atmosphere while still getting out our food & drinks with a notable quickness. She didn't make us feel hurried or forgotten in the dinner rush. I really felt welcomed by her attention to service and overall warm attitude. Will definitely be back!
