Each Rare Roots endeavor may vary in concept and design, but they are all deeply rooted in the desire to treat our guests like they are part of our family. Our attention to detail, our ability to remember a name, and our carefully crafted menus are all expressions of a genuine hospitality that is increasingly harder to find. It requires talent, but it also requires a mindset of service. Our people have both. They come together every day�in some cases for almost 20 years�to practice the type of hospitality you will typically only find at home.

Dresslers Metropolitan
The philosophy at Dressler�s Restaurants is simple: Everyone who walks through our doors is either already a friend, or will be. By embracing that theory, the Dressler�s know that every guest will have exceptional service, outstanding food and hopefully will know that whenever they walk into a Dressler�s, that they are coming home. To ensure that that philosophy saturates the restaurants, Jon and Kim have hired the best management team in the city who in turn have selected the most experienced and diligent service staff possible. In addition, by having a local Chef, Jon and Kim know that they have a handle on the culinary pulse of the city, offering regional favorites all the while making sure that every diner can find that �one dish� that makes the dining out experience worth while.

Dogwood Southern Table
Dogwood Southern Table and Bar is a modern Southern Kitchen in the heart of South Park Charlotte. Led by Executive Chef Scott Hollingsworth the restaurant celebrates the natural bounty and culinary traditions of the South with a contemporary point of view, a commitment to local and sustainable sourcing, and a passion for making things in house with expert technique and superb ingredients. The cocktail program � created and overseen by Bar Manager Brian Lorusso � features updated classics with a regional spirit, house made mixers, and an interactive and fun approach. The wine list emphasizes outstanding global producers with value as a driving force. Fittingly, the beer program showcases the best achievements of the burgeoning craft brewing community in North and South Carolina. The interior feel of Dogwood � designed by Tim Demmit � dramatically sets the stage for the warm and social character of a Southern Kitchen with historic brick walls, reclaimed wood accents, fireplaces, an open and enjoyable kitchen, and of course a great bar.
