Kid waffle doesn’t come with eggs or bacon therefore you had to purchase everything individually. I got the chicken and waffles. The waffle was amazing but my chicken thighs taste weird as if they were old. Our server Jaidan was on point and did a wonderful job. I would visit again but I would try something new.

We stopped in Charlotte last night as a pitstop during holiday travel and stumbled upon this true gem. What a delightful and delicious experience! The Jardin salad (with seasonal vegetables and fresh herbs) and the Sole Meunière was on par with anything you’ll find at the top chefs in NY or Philly. Fabulous wine list - and Luke was fantastic.
