We had an amazing time at the Stonecrest location. Love the decor and new redesign. Food was outstanding and I appreciate that they have taken the time to develop a thoughtful second menu with delectable gluten-free and vegan options. Probably the best in Charlotte. The staff was attentive and the service was great. This is now our new favorite.

The restaurant had some real unique food. We really enjoyed the Mac & cheese! The ambience was pretty good but for us it was mostly the service and food. Great place for a date!
