Food was lovely. The view is much touted but I actually have a better view from my condo on Capital Hill.

My girlfriend and I dined here to celebrate her birthday. We had a nighttime view of the city to cheers to. Our server, Daniel, was outstanding. He made great suggestions and helped make her birthday a little extra special with champagne. The food was delicious, the cocktails were great, and dessert was delicious. We’ll definitely be back to celebrate there again!

Food is just so lackluster and always missing something - even missing things listed on the menu description (like no radish sprouts on the salmon Benedict). The service is really poor and the amount of pretentiousness not merited at all.

my wife and i experienced aqua, el gaucho, the met, cap grill, and many other high end dining experinces. this was our first time at charlotte and will be our last. the food was below subpar in quality that it does not justify the price of the meal. service was wonderful minus the fact that the server did not acknowledge 20% gratuity was already included in the bill. being silent opens up customers to potentially over tip without knowing.

Really wanted to like this place. Beautiful space, great ambiance, amazing view. Everyone was kind as we get settled. Then we waited 30 minutes to get seen by a server. We said we’re ready to order. He said hold on and then went and had a whole conversation with another table. Ok do your thing. We quickly realized there were about 6 food runners/busters and just him as a server. He deserved some help. We got our dishes quickly but of course they forgot one. No way we were going to try and wait to get someone’s attention and reorder. Ruined a birthday. I’ll go again if they’re around in 5 years and someone i trust insists.
