    This restaurant was phenomenal, probably the best restaurant I’ve been to in Charlotte in years. Food and service were amazing. Menu was amazing. The halibut large plate dish and the octopus small plate are both dishes that I will be thinking about and craving for the rest of my life. The holiday themed cocktail menu were so balanced and overall served beautifully. Highly highly recommend and will most definitely be back!

    Staff was great. Truly great. The rooms are a little loud when multiple tables are set. The outside area looked very nice. The appetizers and salads were extremely good. We ordered the shrimp and grits and the burger with fries. The shrimp and grits were OK at best. We only ate half of the burgers. The fries were on point.
