Great view of Charlotte. Food was excellent. Nachos were a killer as was shrimp appetizer. 18 oz ribeye was fabulous. Duck was not crisp but tasted good. Waguy rib was super. Brussel sprouts were not crispy as listed. Blueberry dessert was the bomb as was Japanese dish. Strawberry key lime brulee was superb. Waiter was knowledgeable and the whole team did super. We really enjoyed our evening in Charlotte. Very nice community to visit. Clean, friendly and awesome uptown experience. Ms. Janet

They’re still working out “bugs” with Open Table as they’ve just started using it. However, the manager was extremely accommodating and even provided a complimentary tequila/pineapple shot at the end of our meal. Food was phenomenal. Staff is courteous and attentive. Prices are reasonable for quality of food. I highly recommend for a different experience and great food.
