Truly a favorite place to come a few times a month with friends and family. The food and drinks are consistently delicious and interesting. The tortillas are freshly made in house, and I like to get extra to take home. Everyone is kind and welcoming, and it’s an absolutely beautifully designed restaurant with a relaxing and inviting feeling. It’s the kind of place you can linger and enjoy conversations. They even have a skyline view from the patio and a warm fire pit. We often walk down the hill to the nearby greenway for a stroll after we eat. Thank you, Maiz Agua Sal. You make Charlotte a better place to be!

We celebrated our 12th anniversary at MOA last night! This was our first time dining at this restaurant & our 1st time enjoying Korean BBQ! We were running late but the Host that answered was VERY helpful, she even came outside in the FREEZING cold to help us find them! Zach our waiter & Ian the assistant were both FABULOUS & very knowledgeable about the menu & made our experience absolutely WONDERFUL! The place is so lovely & the food exceeded expectations! All the staff were kind & smiling (despite the fact we were 6 mins late & they closed @ 9) they had even prepared us a card signed by everyone & put candles on our dessert! 100 out of 10 night ☺️ We will be back!!💗

This was my first time here. The restaurant was very cozy and quiet. The food was excellent. We tried the cauliflower appetizer first, which was very flavorful. I had the Chicken Parmesan, and it did not disappoint my expectations. Overall, the service & food was great! I will be back very soon

The pizza was as amazing as we had heard! Best pizza in Charlotte! The only negative in our view was the red wine is served cold…. Not a slight chill but COLD! We asked abt this thinking it was a mistake but our server said the owner refrigerates all the red wine - seems very odd.
