content: The Gallery Restaurant is located on the right most wing of the Ballantyne Westin Resort on the 1st floor. They have a restaurant and bar, with a separate bar menu if you want to order smaller plates. The kitchen closes at 10pm so make sure you get there in time!\n\nThe burgers here are gigantic and delicious. Like every other restaurant in Charlotte, there is a rule that you cannot cook anything under 144 degrees (medium well), but they are still flavorful and juicy. They serve it with a generous side of onion rings or sweet potato fries.\n\nThis restaurant has a bar and restaurant, and the food and drinks are priced reasonably compared to the Westin in downtown. I ordered a small plate $10 worth of scallops which was a mere 2 scallops with a delicious side of pea shoot salad and candied watermelon. I washed it down with North Carolina blueberry port. \n\nIf you're hungry, the highest value small plate are the fish tacos.\n\nIf you want variety you can get a 5 course or 7 course meal that starts at $69.\n\nThey offer whiskey tastings and have a good variety of top shelf alcohols including a slew of top shelf whiskeys. The bartender is friendly and knowledgeable about everything. \n\nI would definitely return if I stayed here again.\n\nJust a couple tips about the regular menu:\n- Duck was excellent, moist, and tasty.\n- Porkchop was very dry and lacked flavor, it needed sauce.\n- The Fillet was surprisingly good considering this place isn't a steakhouse.\n- They have fried mac n cheese tots. \n- The fries are great!\n\nThe waitress at the bar is grouchy and mean. The waiter is much nicer but doesn't know anything about wine.
