The Lights

The Lights is a restaurant and bottle shop in the Ballantyne neighborhood of Charlotte. It serves breakfast and lunch, with a simple menu built around locally sourced food from growers the owners know, and it pairs that with a wine list chosen from small, independent winemakers.

The kitchen serves breakfast and lunch until 3 PM every day, so it works well for a morning or early afternoon visit. Guests can share a few small plates and take a bottle home from the shop. The space can also be rented, and inquiries about that go to the email address listed on the site.
