Restaurant Bites: What is new and what's coming to a menu near you

CHARLOTTE, N.C. — A few new spots were added to the Charlotte-area restaurant scene in recent weeks.

Among those is an upscale restaurant in SouthPark that has garnered attention as one of Food & Wine magazine’s “most anticipated spring restaurant openings.” Peppervine, the second venture for Anita Greene and husband Bill — the couple behind highly acclaimed Banner Elk concept Artisanal — opened Friday at Piedmont Town Center.
