I flew into Charlotte from NY and had been looking forward to my Sunday evening reservation at The…read moreWaterman, so I was a little disappointed when we got there and quite a few of the things I wanted to try were already sold out. The restaurant is really cute with a casual seafood vibe. It wasn't crowded at all when we went, which I actually liked. We could sit, eat, have drinks and actually talk without yelling over music or a bunch of people. I really wanted to try the spinach chargrilled oysters, but they were out, so I had the regular chargrilled oysters instead and they were really good. The mountain trout was delicious! I wasn't a fan of the rice that came with it, but everything else on the plate was yummy. We also had the chicken and waffles, which were great. The Adluh Mills grits were tasty too. They were different from regular grits, but it was a nice spin and I liked them. We wanted the mac and cheese, but unfortunately that was sold out too. The Buoy Bites were delicious and I had the Riptide Rita, which was also really good. Our waitstaff was great and took good care of us. Overall, I enjoyed the food and would come back. I just wish they had more of the menu available, especially on a Sunday evening. Flying in from NY and having this on my list of places I wanted to try, it was disappointing not being able to order several of the things I came for. But what we did have was good and there are definitely a few things I would order again.

Located inside an old chair, this place was amazing! Cool,…read morecasual yet elegant, service was outstanding and the food was really delicious and fresh. We came for brunch and they almost had to roll us out of there. They passed around oysters, shrimp cocktail and grilled pineapple with honey. Three different food stations: meat, vegetable and shrimp skewers was one; your choice of southern ham (prosciutto basically) or crab cake eggs benedicts was the second one and the third one I don't remember (mostly because I didn't quite make it there). In the middle they had lobster deviled eggs, assorted tea sandwiches and a small section with desserts. Everything was delicious and made with fresh ingredients. Yes, it's expensive but so well worth it!! Parking can be an issue but the good thing is, you can walk off a little of everything that you ate so that's a win!

It wasn't worth the price tbh for brunch. I will update my review or make a new one if we go to…read moredinner and maybe that was our mistake. $78 per person from brunch wasn't that great. They barely brought around food like the French toast bites. They kept bringing around oysters and literally no table wanted them that I saw. It wasn't that busy either, tons of empty tables. Instead they held off the arguably best dish of the house: French toast bites. We FINALLY got them at the end of our meal before we left but had to stalk the waiter for them. For $78 there should be way more rotations of the better dishes. Our waiter was great and atmosphere is gorgeous. Playing, food quality and everything was average. The highlight was the poached eggs, eggs Benedict, bacon, potatoes, skewers and everything else was okay. Not better than like Golden Corral or a standard buffet. My opinion is skip the brunch for that price, unless you really like oysters LOL. Also if I had little kids, would never waste money on brunch here.

They had 4 items on the menu this day and I grabbed three of them (my wallet was not happy lol). I decided to try the Seafood egg roll, Crab Cake, and Bang Bang Shrimp. Everything was hot and fresh. I ate the shrimp first and I really liked it! They were also really big shrimp! Next, I tried the crab cake and it was also huge (duh, you get what you pay for) and there was lots of lump crab and barely any filler. I think it could've been seasoned more, but it was still very good. I was full by this point and the egg roll was way bigger than I expected. I took a bite, but couldn't finish it and didn't think it was something I could save for later. The small bite I had was okay but I don't think I can fairly judge it. The cashier was friendly and my wait time was not super long. I do think I had higher expectations but there's still no reason for me not to give 5/5 and I'd come again!

Alternatively, a more intimate experience can be found downstairs. There is an outdoor patio upstairs which is often in high demand on a fine Carolina day, make a reservation.

I've eaten at Cajun Queen in the past and had gumbo, étouffée, and fried shrimp, all of which I…read moreremember being very good. So I was looking forward to trying something different this time and decided on the Shrimp Diane. Unfortunately, it was a huge disappointment. First--the canned mushrooms! I'm sorry, but canned mushrooms in an entrée like this were an immediate turnoff for me. There were plenty of them, and that unmistakable canned texture and taste really came through. The shrimp were also very small, bland, and appeared to be frozen. The entire dish just lacked the flavor and seasoning I expected, especially based on the food I've enjoyed here in the past. I literally ate no more than two spoonfuls before I was done. What also surprised me was that no one asked why I had barely touched my meal. When the server saw essentially an entire entrée remaining, I was simply asked if I wanted to take it home. There was never a follow-up question such as, "Was everything okay?" I would have appreciated that. Now, I do have to give credit where it's due! My date ordered the Shrimp & Grits, and his meal was excellent. It was a generous portion, flavorful, and the shrimp were nicely seasoned. He thoroughly enjoyed it--and after tasting his, I certainly knew which entrée I should have ordered! So my experience wasn't a total miss. The Shrimp & Grits were a winner, and I've enjoyed Cajun Queen's food on previous visits. But the Shrimp Diane? I would definitely not order it again. Fresh mushrooms, better-quality shrimp, and more seasoning could have made a world of difference.

I mean there won't be any vampires coming near me for a week. A bag of 1 lbs of snow crabs, 1lbs of no heads shrimps, potatoes, and corns 5/5. Nicely seasoned. Good quality and soo good. 1 lb of King Crab: 1/5 this is the worst seafood I have ever tried. It's dry, chalky, you can taste the freezer burn. It's just awful.. And for the amount of money we paid. Which is about $80 a lb. We have to be a Karen.. Our waitress were great and tried to fix the problem the best that she can. But we were there for the King Crab. We switched out for an additional lb of snow crabs legs instead. With the amount of seafood restaurants around. I'm not very sure I will try this place again. The owner did come out and apologized. She mentioned that it was just the shipment and they can't change that. I believe they can.. But I'm not the owner of the restaurant.

There were several "reserved" tables that remained empty until after we had finished eating, so I think the restaurant could benefit from a better reservation system with more accurate buffer times to accommodate walk-in guests. To avoid the wait, we decided to sit at the bar, and I'm glad we did because the food was amazing. The fried chicken and waffles were perfectly seasoned, and the waffle had a unique texture and flavor that reminded me of a combination of a traditional waffle and a soft pretzel. The cheesy potato cake was absolutely delicious. The fruit bowl was also good, but I wish they had been a little more generous with the blueberry pudding. The shrimp and grits came with large tomatoes, which may not be for everyone, and my friend felt the dish was lacking grits overall. She didn't feel like she got her money's worth. Would I go back? Absolutely. My meal was delicious, and I can't wait to return and try more of their homemade, fresh dishes. I also think it's great that they partner with local farmers to help curate their menu.
