Q&A: Avoiding restaurant week, Unpretentious Previews

Each week, we answer reader questions about food and drink in Charlotte

Customshop in Elizabeth won’t be part of Restaurant Week. Kristen Wile/UP

Q: I’d like to dine out during Restaurant Week for a special occasion, but not at a restaurant week participating place. Where should I go?
Kristen: Assuming you’re looking for something on the higher end side, I’d suggest Customshop, Restaurant Constance, or Dot Dot Dot! None will be taking part in Queen’s Feast/Charlotte Restaurant Week this year.

Q: Are there any Unpretentious Preview events coming up?
Kristen: Yes! We have an exciting one in the works that should be happening in the next couple of weeks. Stay tuned to your inbox for more info on that!
