I recently had the pleasure of dining at Mizu for a second time, and I must say, just as much as I was impressed the first time, the second time was amazing! My girl friend was visiting from out of town, so I decided to make reservations here for us. Let me tell you, she was in awe the moment she walked in, and trust me, she has amazing taste. The ambiance is stunning; the lighting, decor, and overall atmosphere were incredibly romantic and alluring. It was the perfect setting for a nice dinner with my friend or a date night. We decided to order: Tuna Crunch Nigiri (Yellowtail) Maguro Heat Bisol "Jeio" Prosecco Hype Beast When it came to the food, I have to say, it was simply amazing. The flavors were perfectly balanced and the presentation was stunning. The Nigiri was divine - I could have just those as meal. We both agreed that our dishes were absolutely delicious! Aside from the food and ambiance, the service at Mizu was excellent. Our server was knowledgeable and attentive while still giving us enough space to enjoy our meal and conversation. Overall, I couldn't have asked for a better dining experience. Mizu truly exceeded my expectations and I would highly recommend it to anyone looking for a romantic and delicious meal.

I am going to start off by saying this is a beautiful restaurant. The style/decor and lay out is perfection from the hotel lobby and throughout the hotel. The sunset from this rooftop is also quite spectacular. Service: The hostess needs training. She provided a deadpan stare upon our entry with no greeting, simply "do you have a reservation"...I said "Hello" twice before she finally provided a proper greeting. Not a great start. Our waitress was very friendly and informative. I think they may have been short staffed because it took a long time for her to get back to us a few times for which she was apologetic. Food: I was unable to enjoy quite a few items on the menu because anything fried is fried in the same oil in which a popular allergen is cooked in...Shrimp. There's no reason why reused oil contains contents of popular allergens like pork or any type of shellfish. It was quite disappointing. I could not get fried red snapper or the potatoes or sweet potatoes in my roll...it was very limiting. But I'm grateful that I was informed because I did not carry my pen that evening so....that would've been disastrous Cleanliness: Tables weren't being cleared off and cleaned properly and we had to watch our waitress wipe contents off the table with her bare hand for us to sit. My biggest ick was when I went to the restroom and a waitress flushed the toilet, exited the stall and walked right outside the restroom without washing her hands. I was frozen in pure shock. Not a drop of water or soap. The thought of her touching eating utensils, cups, plates, tabletops, cards, receipts just made me nauseous. That behavior is 1000% unacceptable and quite frankly gross. I wish I had followed her to put in a complaint but I did not come to ensure health code protocol. I told my friend what happened and we left. I'm sad it ended this way and would've loved to return but with limited menu options due to a shellfish allergy and employees not washing their hands after using the restroom...I would not recommend.

My second time visiting this hotel and restaurant and it was so good! I already had dinner so I just came here because I had a sweet tooth. Last time I came they had a really good ginger snap crème brûlée so I knew they would have good desserts. We sat at the bar since we weren't planning on having a big meal and the bartender was so awesome (wish I would have caught good name). He made me prob the best lemon drop martini I've ever had and my hub had a French connection and he too, said it was the best he's had and this same bartender is the reason he keeps coming back to this hotel. I can second that! I ordered the chocolate tahini cake but it was close between that and the matcha dome cuz I love love matcha. But the ginger cake scared me cuz it can either be good or really bad. But y'all this tahini cake was one of the best desserts I have ever had. The cake itself was sweet and decadent, perfect amount of chocolate for a chocolate lover like me. The white chocolate sesame crumble was surprisingly not sweet but it added the perfect texture and balanced out the sweetness of the cake and the black sesame ice cream just tied it all together. It was amazing. Please go try it because I'm not sure how long until they change their menu again. Hubby had a lobster tail and he said it was delicious. They chop it up so it's easier to eat and it was very flavorful. We loved our returning experience here especially with the sweet staff and clean and elegant establishment. I wouldn't mind being a returning customer every time I visit charlotte especially if their menu changes every time. It'll be nice to review different items! Definitely a 10/10 experience

First of all, their steak is the whole reason we came to Charlotte in the first place. Incredible sear, not as tender as it could've been to be "wagyu filet" but still amazing nonetheless. The only thing that I don't like is when I requested sweet wine I got the most bitter and nasty things ever. Granted I know nothing about wine and they did an incredible job with everything else. I don't even know if there is such thing as a wine that is on the sweeter side to be honest because I haven't been to a restaurant yet that's gotten it right. I didn't eat on the rooftop just had room service delivered but when I did go up there it was an incredible looking place with nice lighting and a great vibe. Lovely place all in all, just doesn't seem to know the wine that well.

The 5 course tasting menu was everything a girl could ask for in her special day. The staff chef's and bakers served all of the food and described each course with amazing details. The views from the patio and the kitchen are to die for. We will definitely be back.

Horrible service. We didn't see our waitress after we placed our order. She ignored us, we ran out of water, and she didn't come to our table until she gave us the check. NOTE: We declined the offer, but the manager took care of us most of the night and offered free dessert for the bad service.

Celebrated my anniversary here. We had our first date here and we come back each year. Never disappoints. This time we had the miso and pistachio ice cream sandwich and the green tea cheesecake with cocktails. I love their food too and we have enjoyed it on many occasions. We will be back! Thank you so much for being a part of our love journey!Parking: It's right across the steeet from the restaurant and covered parkingWheelchair accessibility: Available. You can use the elevator and the space between tables allows for wheelchairs.
I had a fantastic experience here. My family and I went for my dad's birthday and the service was top tier. When booking the reservation they asked what kind of beer my dad likes. When we told them, they said they didn't keep one of his favorites in stock, but the staff went and picked it up specifically for us. They didn't even charge us extra for the beer. The food was delicious, and the the atmosphere was very elegant and relaxing. Definitely one of the best restaurants I've been to.

This was my 1st time here & every single thing gets five stars all around! The hostess, Ava, was super sweet in getting us to our table outside. When we got there we noticed there was a little framed note & a tin can of flowers on the table. They'd read our note on our reservation & planned prior to our arrival this little treat for our 10 year anniversary! How sweet?! Then, our server, Rezee, was just plain amazing! Super friendly and sweet! Literally everyone who came to our table to either bring food or drinks said hello & "Happy Anniversary!" Jonas stopped by to ask if there was anything we needed & took some photos for us during the sunset. The food was outstanding! We were gifted champagne to toast and some brussel sprouts to try, which were so flavorful! We ordered the firecracker shrimp (big in size & great flavor in the sauce), the wagyu filet (extremely tender), the Shrimp Crunch sushi & the Kawaii drink. All were so good & filling! Also, whether you're sitting inside or outside, the ambiance of both are so beautiful and welcoming. Evening time with the sunset & beautiful weather is great for the outdoor seating. I must say, tonight's entire experience really made our anniversary night that much better! I've never been to a restuarant that was so thoughtful & intentional with caring for their guests. I'm now a fan & will definitely be back soon and bring more people to experience how awesome this establishment is.

This was our second time to visit, and food and service were excellent. First visit for our teens who were initially hesitant but loved everything. Faves: crispy potatoes, tuna tartare, chicken thighs, pork chop, lemon drop sushi roll. Desserts were great- our family shared three. Thanks to Deion for excellent service & recs. We will be back!

We went to a few rooftop bars in SouthPark yesterday just to check out the ambience. Mizu by far deserves a five star plus review! The restaurant and rooftop is absolutely gorgeous, and from the instant we walked in the door we had the best service you could possibly ask for in hospitality. They were very kind and welcoming even though we were dressed more casual than the rest of the clientele. We also only ordered two small appetizers because we were just checking out the restaurant, and the server was very pleasant and attentive. We became chilly out on the roof as the sun left the horizon, and they were very accommodating and kind moving us to a table indoors. The duck and eggplant appetizer that we ordered were absolutely gourmet delicious! Everything from the wonderful ambience, gorgeous restaurant, impeccable service, and five-star chef cuisine make Mizu a wonderful restaurant that I will definitely like to visit dressed up nice for a more lavish date evening.
Made a 6:45 reservation Waited 15 minutes to get seated. Took 25 minutes for a server to greet us, got drinks 10 minutes later and had to close out before getting our food because we had another reservation to make at 8pm. Was very disorganized and disappointing. The general manager did explain there was an event they were finishing up and was very nice and understanding. Because of him speaking with us I will try going again and see if it's better
