AMERICAN RESTAURANTS IN CHARLOTTE, NC
Rooted in
the Carolinas
We pride ourselves on working closely with local farmers and purveyors to bring the freshest ingredients to your table. Our commitment to hyper-local sourcing ensures that every dish tells a story of the region’s agricultural heritage. Come for the fare, stay for the hospitality.
Dogwood Southern Table & Bar at The Westin is the second iteration of this beloved concept from Rare Roots Hospitality. The original location was located in SouthPark from 2014-2023.
Our menus are shaped by the rhythms of the season and the relationships we’ve built with local farmers, fishermen, and artisans. By sourcing close to home whenever possible, we’re able to highlight ingredients—prepared simply, thoughtfully, and with respect for where they come from.
