Rainy nights in Charlotte always seem to slow the city down a little. I decided to pop out at the…read morelast minute to try their new menu. Even with the rain pouring outside, the restaurant was completely full -- chandeliers glowing, fountain flowing, conversations everywhere. Somewhere between the lobster, caviar, and the ambiance, there was a small snafu. The hostess later sent over dessert to apologize. A small gesture, but one that made the night feel even warmer.

My husband chose this place again for his birthday dinner…read more.. We arrived for dinner RSVP at 6 pm, and the place was bustling. It seemed it was prom night, and there were many well dressed kids (mostly girls...with dates?). In any case, the place was gorgeous as usual...and as usual, the menu was a bit offputting. The price points are truly outlandish for what you get here. An example? A basic burger is 24 bucks...without fries! Truly, you're paying an extra 15 bucks or more for the ambiance. Pricing aside, even the options on the menu was a bit of a head scratcher. Honestly, there's barley a thing on there that appealed to me. Well, it used to be the Lobster Roll...but I had that a few times, and frankly, it's just not that good. It's small, and the bread is too hard...and again, despite the outlandish pricing, it doesn't even come with any sides. If this was any other restaurant, I'd probably just want to walk out. But then, there's the ambiance! Even that was a bit of an issue for me. On this night, there was hardly any music playing...and if so, it was on so low that I could barely hear it. There goes part of the ambiance...at least for me! My husband got his usual...the French Roasted Chicken, my son got the Roasted Sandwich, and I got the Shaved Ribeye Dip. We also ordered the Fries and the Creme Brulee for dessert. Well, more than ever, we all were extremely disappointed. First of all, my husband's dish looked nothing like it used to...paled in comparison in taste and presentation! In fact, afterwards, he said he'll never choose this place again to celebrate his birthday! My son and I just felt our sandos were OK at best...and really for its ridiculous price point, they were bordering bad. The bits of salad with our hand-helds were Argula...pretty, but possibly one of my least favorite veggie? Fries were good...but priced separately for $11-12 bucks, they should be! Then even the dessert was abysmal. Most creme brulees come with fruits...or some type of topping. Not here! Just a basic creme brulee. SO basic...with 1 ugly candle for my husband's birthday. It wasn't complimentary either. Just a DUD all the way through! As gorgeous as this place is, I'm just not sure if their foods are worth it anymore. BTW, for drinks, I got this Orange Cocktail (Blah!), and my husband got some beer (?). Again, nothing special. If this place cares to up their game, they should try harder...but apparently, they don't. In fact, it seems things are getting worse. I mean, just look at the recent Roasted Chicken plate...TERRIBLE!!! One thing positive is that we managed to get some good birthday pictures out of this fancy schmancy scene with good lighting....but the rest of it was just beyond underwhelming. Sorry, but gotta drop down to 2 stars this time.

I had the stone fruit drink and it was so good. We had chicken fried lobster and rock island calamari and shrimp. It was all perfection. There was a waygu special that I had to try. We had mushrooms, au gratin potatoes, and corn crème brûlée as our sides. We have already looked up copy cat recipes for the corn crème brûlée. I need to have this over and over again. For dessert the table split the red velvet bread pudding (we were stuffed) and I immediately started searching for copy cat recipes for that. It was decadent. Service was impeccable. The restaurant was elegant and dark and romantic inside. This place is a must if you are looking for fine dining in Charlotte.

The service was exceptional without ever feeling intrusive, and every detail was handled perfectly. Between the outstanding food, beautiful atmosphere, and Courtney's wonderful service, it was truly a five-star experience. We can't wait to come back!

The actual restaurant is on the 3rd floor and when the elevator doors opened we were instantly in awe. Our waiter did an excellent job of explaining the difference in items we had questions about and offered suggestions. He made sure our cups were never empty and consistently checked on us. Now, for the main event...THE FOOD!!! We had Truffle fries as the appetizer, they were mid to say the least. I ordered a Caesar Salad(it was decent), the Branzino(whole fish), Broccolini, and the American baked potato. My meal was DELICIOUS!!! I finished my entire plate. Outside of me adding ground pepper to everything it was seasoned well. Around the table everyone said their meals were ok. The half roasted chicken was slightly bland for their taste and somewhat dry and they would have loved a sauce to go over. The chicken sandwich was said to be good, and the shrimp I heard were tasty. Desserts: Two cookies with a candle were brought out for the birthday girl, who also ordered a side of vanilla ice cream which was so good. I ordered the butterscotch brulee, I demolished it!! I would definitely recommend this place for a date night or really any celebration or just a solo experience. If ever in the area I highly recommend checking them out.

I came for brunch since the prices are somewhat reasonable, but would not return for dinner. What we tried: - Swedish pancakes 4/5: tasted like normal pancakes, very thin so a bit unique. Not too heavy, which I liked. - American breakfast 4/5: the eggs were the definite standout here... very flavorful and unique. However, everything else on the plate was lacking - the sausage was too oily for my liking, and the potatoes were very dry. The bread was a bit bland. Service was pretty much nonexistent - they seem quite hands-off. The venue itself is gorgeous and great for photos/gatherings.

Now I'll admit -- I'm a tough judge of cornbread. A lot of people will serve it to you as dry as the desert. Crumbly. Without any love. At the southern pecan, I could've had a whole sheet of their cornbread -- it was pleasantly delicious. Also of note: Our server was prompt and kind. The vibe inside was really cool too. Overall, I'd come back!

Decor and service were both good, but the food was the best part of the meal. The Blackened Redfish had a marvelous creamy crawfish sauce that takes it over the top, making it my favorite dish of the night. The Louisiana BBQ Shrimp and Quail Special were both excellent too. On the good, but not great level were the Pecan Fried Catfish, Seafood Gumbo and the complimentary Cornbread. Brussel Sprouts Caesar was the only item that was average. I would certainly come back again next time I want some southern/Cajun food in the Charlotte area.

The place was clean (and warm because it was cold this day). There was TVs showing the news and piped through the ceiling speakers. By the order counter was an area behind glass where you can see them making their award-winning biscuits periodically. The staff were very patient with us as we couldn't decide on what we wanted. Everything sounded really good, but I was really hungry so a biscuit sandwich wasn't going to do. I got the Breakfast Platter (biscuit, two eggs *no extra charge for the shortage*, bacon, and grits with a large coffee). The biscuit was exceptional, almost as good as our Maple Street Biscuit Company biscuits. I didn't eat all my eggs as they had gotten cold quickly. The bacon and grits were really good. I also picked up some doggie biscuits for my dog. She absolutely loved them. I don't think she's ever had biscuits before so she wasn't sure about the texture initially but after awhile she scarfed it down. Wish we had these in Florida.

The strawberry lemonade was also spot-on, refreshing and full of flavor. I ordered a breakfast platter, though, and it was just okay. It didn't taste very fresh and the flavors were a little underwhelming. Customer service was alright, nothing bad, just nothing that stood out. I would go back again, but I'd probably try something different next time. It wasn't terrible by any means, just not as impressive as I hoped. With the drinks being delicious, I'm willing to give it another shot -- maybe I just didn't pick the right item this time.
