Hestia Rooftop

Hestia is the modern Asian restaurant on the sixteenth floor of Ballantyne Village, and the view reaches from Charlotte into South Carolina. It is the only serious rooftop dining room in the south of the county, which is why it fills for anniversaries and birthdays. The indoor space keeps the view when the terrace is booked for a private event.

What to know

• Chilean sea bass and the bao buns are the dishes people return for.
• A tomahawk steak is presented at the table by the chef.
• Prices match the setting, so it is an occasion instead of a weeknight.
• The outdoor terrace is sometimes closed for private bookings.
