   Food variety and quality was good for the price. We sat outside on a Sunday around 1:00 pm. Waitress was great and made special note of the gluten allergy we had at our table and checked with the kitchen staff if there were any questions. We had more than "relaxing" wait for our food. They were busy, but it felt like it was about an hour before our food came out (I didn't time it exactly) In summary, we will definitely return to this restaurant.

   Apps and desserts were 10/10. The salmon was a little dry but it probably would’ve been better with more of the sauce that came on it. Overall, me and my family will definitely return. Our waitress was amazing. She had braids. She was very attentive. This was a great place to celebrate my mother’s birthday. The ambience was a nice vibe but very relaxed. Drinks were 10/10.

   They get two stars for really listening and doing their best to make things right. The service just wasn’t where it needed to be, but we’re hopeful they’ll improve.

   The 36 hour ribs can not be missed. Amazing. And the monkey bread for desserts is worth the wait.

   My wife and I went here for the first time tonight. The cocktail menu is excellent, my wife and I had two drinks each and they were top-tier. For appetizers we ordered the cheese board and for mains I had the short rib and my wife had the vegan curry. Everything we had was outstanding, some of the best food we have had at a Charlotte restaurant. The only downside for the evening was a long (nearly 30 minute) wait for the appetizer (the cheese board). To compound this, our main course was brought out first and just as the server tried to give us the mains, another server brought over the appetizer. I had to ask the server to take our mains back to the kitchen because of their timing error. The server didn’t apologize and seemed annoyed. This incident was never followed up on. If this hasn’t happened this would have been a 10/10 restaurant but I’m not sure we would go back for a while due to our experience.
