Worst experience ever. For first time in our lives we didn’t tip. We were sat right away but waited 20 minutes before a server came to take drink order, and we had to ask about a server first. We placed drink and appetizer orders. Received salad but not appetizers. Never saw server again. Never received bread. Had to ask just to get our bill because it had been an hour and we had concert tickets. Now I am at concert eating a pretzel because I am starving and we have to go eat afterwards.

Service was poor. Waiter forgot our drinks. Never came to check on us. Had to go to bar to order our second drinks. Presentation of food was rough. Food tasted decent but was not put together with care. Wife is GF, waiter seemed to not understand the severity. Went home early from concert with allergic reaction to meal. Atmosphere was beautiful. Has potential to be a great spot if they would work on a few things. If GF is required I would suggest staying away until they have a better way to segregate the food from contamination and a more knowledgeable kitchen.

Worth the trip back into town. The wine list is very good, from affordable to splurge. Every course was excellent.

Staff was arguing w each other. Drinks never came. With a reservation we were stuck in front of the food delivery counter hoping no one dropped food on us.

When our party of three arrived (rushing to make our reservation), we found one other party of two in the restaurant and two men chatting at the bar. The atmosphere was quiet, to say the least.
Earlier in the day, I’d ogled the menu and was looking forward to the Cajun Chicken Pappardelle with blackened chicken. Although what arrived was still a tasty dish, it was served without pappardelle (my favorite pasta) and without blackened chicken, which in my opinion, is what would have given the dish a Cajun flair.
It wasn’t an entirely bad experience, but I wouldn’t go bad either.

Took 15+ minutes to be sat for our reservation, the restaurant was not busy. When we were sat, took another 15 minutes to get our order. When our server finally arrived, he snapped at my party for finishing a conversation and told them to pay attention to him which we found to be incredibly rude, especially when it took him so long to come at all. Took our drinks and food and took another 15-20 minute to get our drinks, which were incorrect. The restaurant was half full at this point with at least 6 staff members moving around. Our food took over an hour to arrive and at that point we were rushing out to go to our next event, even though we gave ourselves two hours. Our server told us that he took off the automatic gratuity for the trouble but that was false and charged us an automatic 21%, which would have been fine, if the service we received granted it. Food was fine, portions were small. Very disappointing.

The restaurant looked nice and clean, but that was basically the only thing good about it. We started off nicely, got seated quickly and placed our orders (table of 4, 2 adults and 2 kids). They automatically bring water to the table but you can order other drinks. My kids both ordered pop but we had to ask for it again after our food came out. After our order was taken we never really saw our waiter again. It looked like he got some other tables then just ignored us. The calamari was extremely greasy. I got the filet mignon and shrimp, my wife got the bison burger and my kids both got lasagna. Basically anything meat tasted like the cooked it directly in a fire pit. The filet was cooked nicely on the inside but the outside tasted like a piece of charcoal. After eating, other employees cleaned up our plates and checked on us but after 20 minutes our waiter had still not returned with the check. I had to get up and ask another waitress for our check just so we could get out of there. The food was definitely not worth the price and I don't plan to ever return.
This was the perfect precursor to our theater night out in Uptown Charlotte. Miranda was a superb server, anticipating our needs, had a great sense of humor and was overall exactly what you hope when you eat out. She was friendly, helpful and overall made the night perfect. The food was wonderful as well. My son, ever the picky eater, chose the lasagna - worried a little for the "new" things included (bison, bechamel sauce) - but raved in the end. My chicken pasta dish (so sorry, can't remember the name!) was just the right level of spicy for me and was super yummy! My husband enjoyed the seafood dish as well. If ever we are in Charlotte again, this will definitely be a repeat stop.

We had breakfast here, and the staff were incredibly kind and friendly. I wish every waiter in the world had such a kind heart as ours—it was truly felt in the atmosphere. Unfortunately, the breakfast itself was below average, so I wouldn’t recommend this place for it. Maybe the experience is better in the evening.

While the service was a solid 2.5 it was because the server was friendly. We booked a reservation over a week prior to the date to entertain our out of town family that we hadn't seen in a long time. When we arrived we were told that ordering from the menu was cancelled for the day and all that was available was a breakfast buffet. The buffet featured cold scrambled eggs and other less than mediocre breakfast items like soft, chewy bacon and stale toast that you had to make yourself. It was a less than average hotel buffet breakfast. Very disappointed that I was not contacted and told that Sevice for the day would be diminished, especially after having a reservation with a large group. The final price was extraordinarily high as well for a less than mediocre breakfast buffet. Will not be back.
Very good service and food. Would definitely go back.
