My husband and I are celebrating our 14th anniversary today and he is working in Gastonia so I drove to celebrate with him. We found Lotus Bar & eatery and we were not disappointed. From the host to our server the experience was wonderful. The food was very well seasoned and prepared. Our server Kit was pleasant, helpful and seemed to care that we were having a special night. Big thank you to the staff of Lotus Bar & Eatery.
