    We were visiting Charlotte and had time for just one dinner out - and boy, did we luck out with our choice! Custom shop is in a very charming neighborhood and the ambiance inside is really lovely - modern but cozy with a lovely bar area. It's like having dinner in a sophisticated and artsy friend's home. My friend and I sat at the bar. The bartender is delightful and the cocktails were innovative and delicious. Our dinner (hamachi crudo) and two pastas was really outstanding. I'm still dreaming about the pastas (agnolotti and canestri) were just incredible! I'll definitely be back!
