    For so long I grieved the loss of The Grape. And when I found out a new restaurant would take its place I knew it would have to be something amazing. Only Sister could be the follow up we all were hoping for! From the friendly greeting when we walked in, switching the napkin out depending on the color of the pants. The amazing cocktails, delectable Focaccia, meatballs, pastas, steak, broccoli and THOSE CARROTS. Best carrots in the area!! It was all so delicious and Taylor cared for us all so well! Our favorite place to celebrate friendship and life. Thank you for always making not just the experience and ambience fabulous, but to the kitchen staff that makes all the food - the real Hero’s!

    My girlfriend and I spent the early afternoon of Valentines day  at the Charlotte. We started off with the crab fingers (Cajun style) and a couple of cocktails. I cannot stress this enough, if you try the crab fingers, you will not be disappointed.  For our entrées we had the crispy duck and spicy vodka pasta, both of which were magnificent. Overall the experience was incredible. Our server was pleasant, and we will definitely be returning.
