One was a small side Caesar salad which I got. I was disappointed in the continuing practice for restaurants to charge for small changes like this within informing the customer. Waitress was very nice, however and attentive. What is also quite unique about the restaurant was that you could order small 4 oz beers, just for tasting at $2-3 each. The place is quite large and must get incredibly noisy at times with the hard surfaces and multiple TVs. There is an option to sit directly at the bar or at tables.

If you are looking for recommendations, I highly suggest trying: The Meatballs: A fantastic twist on a classic, served in a delicious lemon dill sauce instead of a typical marinara. The Sliders: Perfect pulled pork paired with fried green tomatoes and a tangy horseradish sauce. They also feature a highly creative and unique cocktail menu. Two of my personal standouts are the Beetle Juice, which incorporates fresh beet juice, and The Fishbone, which brilliantly highlights their house-made aquavit. Overall, it's a wonderful spot for a great atmosphere and an inventive menu!

We came in for a weekend brunch and were immediately impressed by the experience. Our waiter was super attentive and helped steer us toward some great choices on the menu (you pull it up through a QR code at the table). We ordered the French toast and the Eggs Benedict to split. The French toast was golden with just the right balance of sweetness. The Benedict comes layered with smoked salmon and spinach, and it was so good my friend even ordered a second one to take home! I've actually picked up sushi to-go from here at night in the past, so I already knew the food was reliable, but sitting down during the day let me appreciate how nice the space actually is. At night it has that dim, moody lighting that makes it a great date-night pick, but brunch was relaxed, bright, and didn't feel rushed at all. Definitely a spot I'd come back to whether it's for casual weekend brunch or drinks and sushi on a night out.

We both got salmon and the Whipped ricotta appetizer. The ricotta was delicious and I loved that it came with mint leaves. It was delicious and we scarfed that down with our beers. I had Marigold Hefe isen, which was DELICIOUS. So I had 2. They had a fantastic wine list and I was going to get a white wine from Chile but at $14, I didn't want to blow my dates wallet out. So instead I had the 2 beers. Let's talk about our delicious salmon. It was cooked perfect and served w cut asparagus on a bed of buttery orzo. I ate every little asparagus piece, it was so good and lemon butter flavored. The salmon was a lightly grilled piece of heaven. A big piece. I was a little miffed it had no lemon slice but the entire salmon was basted or braised with a lemon sauce. Every bite was divinely lemon. It was probably the best salmon I've ever had. Such a lovely visit. Nice interior and spacious and people seemed to be having fun at the bar. This location is a very lovely place!

The wine selection is impressive and they have great cocktails, typically seasonal rotating options as well. I enjoyed the caviar and chips option, flatbread pizza, and brussels.

The drawback to this location is parking can be difficult, so plan accordingly for your arrival time in case you have to search for street parking.

It's very fancy, and attached to some kind of art museum. There are a LOT of stairs to climb to get up to the restaurant, so just keep that in mind. We were greeted and seated quickly. With so many good looking things on the menu, it was hard to choose, but I went with the wild mushroom risotto. I'm a sucker for a good risotto and this one was ... okay. The depth of flavor was really nice, and the parmesan crisp on the top really pulled each bite together. I wish there would have been more of that. In terms of texture, it wasn't my favorite. Had more of a grits kind of consistency than what I generally expect from risotto. My mom ordered a salad and specifically asked for dressing on the side and it came absolutely slathered in dressing. The waitress was nice about it and got the order replaced for us. Then for whatever reason, it took forever to get her attention again to get our check once we were finished. Overall, it was an okay experience. The ambiance is nice, the food was okay. I would have thought for the level of dining/price though that it would have been a bit higher end in the details.

I first met her as a waitress, and now she's a manager. Every time I visit, she greets me with genuine excitement, and you can tell how much she loves what she does. She's incredibly attentive to the little details, makes sure customers are taken care of if they're ever dissatisfied with a plate, and always has a smile on her face. The rest of the staff is just as friendly. Hanson served me during my last visit when I brought a friend who was visiting Charlotte for the first time, and he made sure we were well taken care of throughout our meal. He kept up great conversation and even had wonderful things to say about Daniela, which says a lot about the team and environment she's helped create. 11/10 every time. The food and drinks are amazing, the prices are just right, and I've never left disappointed. Everything is consistently delicious, and coming here is always a pleasure. Kid Cashew has easily become one of my favorite spots in Charlotte!

Shared order: PROSCIUTTO CARPACCIO ROASTED CARROTS My order: CHICKEN TAGINE (half) Loved it!!! Thought it was very flavorful. Loved the creamy sauce it came in. The spice blend was very unique, nothing I've ever tasted before. Friends order: GNOCCHI & LAMB Very good but WAYY too salty. Also, could have used some pepper WAGYU STEAK Very small portion, also the steak was extremely over cooked and over peppered. FYI -- the crispy potatoes are not a side they are a garnish on top, think small potatoes chip strips. This seemed more like an extra side of meat than something you order for an app or entree. Definitely not shareable and not enough for an entree either. Over all, would want to try this place again but I would hope that they have someone checking temperatures and regulating seasoning to make sure the entrees are better quality next time.

Her name is Shay she was attentive and kept checking on us as our party grew in size. Most of us were not drinking alcohol and just having mocktails or juice. I had a Caesar salad and pineapple juice. I might say that the salad was presented well and delicious. I wasn't really hungry, but I wanted to patronize the restaurant and order something. This is a place that I will come back to alone or with a group again. I felt very comfortable and I was impressed with Shay's customer service. The waitress that was training Shay was very nice as well. There was a guy doing fire shows and blowing fire. He was talented and very nice. There was also a guy that came around selling flowers, but for some reason, he didn't stop at our table. I didn't feel like I was in Charlotte. I felt like I was in Vegas or Miami!
