Easily my favorite restaurant in Charlotte. The food and service are impeccable. The appetizers and fresh seafood were the stars of the menu. However, the pork chop and sides were phenomenal as well. The chicken friend lobster tails were my favorite item and I will be dreaming about them until I return. I do think the crab claws were a bit overpriced, but this is not a place to go when you are on a budget. Definitely a special occasion place for me and I look forward to my next visit!

Excellent food and they were willing to accommodate gluten free where they could even though most of their menu has gluten. View was spectacular and worth going outside for even though it was quite cold. They do have a large outdoor fire so it was quite lovely. I'd visit again for sure when I'm in town again.

We had a phenomenal celebration at O-ku this evening! Madison was so attentive and friendly and the GM stopped by occasionally to make sure we were having a fabulous time. They made sure to hype up our celebration with all of their personal touches. O-ku always knocks it out of the park! Thanks team!
