Was really looking forward to visiting as the reviews, pics and menu looked promising.Walking in we were greeted warmly and appreciated the decor and vibe of the space.Unfortunately the food was sub par which was surprising as we expected the opposite. We ordered a Dogwood Burger medium which came out extremely well done to the point the consistency of the patty was that of a dog treat. The fries that accompanied were cooked nicely on the outside but practically raw on the inside. The $18 “bowl” we ordered came out on a saucer and looked like a side salad without any chicken. Fortunately we had also ordered an $11 Arugula salad that when combined with the bowl equaled a decent sized salad albeit for $39!We sent the burger back and the server was very gracious and switched it for a Cesar Salad with chicken. Once again unfortunately it was cold cut chicken breast, and some greens that resembled a salad you’d get on an airplane. Luckily they didn’t charge us for it.Really unfortunate as the place has promise and the serving staff was pleasant. The back of the house needs oversight and they need to reevaluate their ingredients especially at that price point.

Disappointed and overpriced. We ate here for the first time for dinner and spent $61 before tip for 2 people, and left hungry. Duck Empanadas were great. Grilled cheese was ok, cheese not really melted and the prosciutto was very tough . My wife's Grains Salad was very small, little to no chicken, far from an $18 dish, more like a small appetizer. After we ordered and our food arrived we did not get service again for right around 30 minutes. Overall a very disappointed night. We feel like we over paid and spent way too much time waiting to leave.

Great beer & cocktail choices. I was a little disappointed that the menu on the website and the menu at the restaurant don't match - I had wanted to try the food flight but had to settle on the slider trio. My favorite was the Cuban slider and enjoyed the cod slider. The lamber slider was a bit bitter. Definitely a nice place to spend some time.

Great TV's to watch sporting events. lamb sliders were great and Noda Beer is always good.
My son and I ordered the Arugula Salad, Plantains, Smoked Salmon Burrata, Flank Steak and Crawfish Papusa. I was pleased to see so many gluten free options for the tapas. The food presentation was artful, but the flavor profiles of most plates were on the bland side for us. The Arugula Salad was my favorite with a tasty grapefruit vinaigrette. My son really liked what they offered on tap. 3 stars for the food and 5 stars for the brews.
I liked the vegetarian options but thought the mushroom toast was under flavored. Overall, it was good and had a good atmosphere though. Would go back.
We had the mixed greens salad (which was excellent), the plantains and the Cuban fritas. All were excellent.

Drinks are great! Staff is nice and friendly, fairly attentive. Cute atmosphere. Some food was fine-ish, some was so so so good. (Papusa!)Kitchen closes BEFORE they close, so just a heads-up you might not be able to order food but can still get drinks.

Noda has great beer and this location has all the options including flights. Went on a Sunday and the kitchen was surprisingly closed, but menu has a bunch of tapas sized options. Not super cozy inside but fine, and plenty of parking nearby.

Amazing sports bar with unique signature craft local beers, original from Charlotte. Each beer is unique and completely different to what you have tried somewhere else, like the Peanut Butter Chocolate Beer (which is my favorite btw). You can even have some to go (see image attached).Unlike other bars, this one has delicious appetizers, salads and fresh made soups. My favorite is the Hummus which is vegan and they even have a GF option.I highly recommended everyone to visit this hidden gem!
Vegetarian options: They have vegan and gluten free options!

First time experiencing this place, we had a very enjoyable evening. The back room was perfect for us as it's a bit more quiet. Loved the Old Fashioned cocktail and the flank steak plate was unusual, but delicious. I wish there had been more apple pieces in the gnocchi desert - if seemed a bit doughy to me.

I love this place. The service was great. I loved the Fried Pork Rinds. The torched corn tamale was good. I did like the sliders but they needed tomato or some juice. I enjoyed my cocktail. Great place.

Great for large private dinners. They have multiple private dining areas for groups of 20+ and the service is amazing. Drinks and tapas served quickly. Group of 30 got apps, drinks, and food is less than an hour. Always so friendly! Food is amazing.
