Excellent service. Outstanding food. Music was not to our liking and was a bit too loud. Cold draft coming from the doors as our table was right in front. But, overall AMAZING!

This is one of the very best restaurants in Charlotte. The quality, flavor and wide selection of menu options are fabulous. Beyond the exquisite decor and floral arrangements, the music is pleasant and the entire restaurant staff is attentive, professional and knowledgeable. I highly recommend dining here for any meal.

Had lunch here today with a friend. We both ordered the butternut squash and kale salad. I added grilled shrimp to mine. The portion was small for the price but it was a unique and delicious salad. We ordered the mud pie for dessert, which was delicious but incredibly rich so had to bring half of it home. No complaints! Good restaurant and our server Isabel was perfect.
