Happy I did, the aesthetics are very modern, warm and welcoming. The staff was very friendly and seemed like a well oiled family, coexisting through life together.

The experience was pleasing with the wine being displayed in top notch Spiegelau wine glasses. It definitely elevated the experience. In the end I was drawn to a glass of the B True Napa Valley Cab Sav. It was very lovely to the pallet and hit all the right notes. Thank you for a relaxing afternoon.

Our first trip was to the Amalfi coast, never could I imagine a more wonderful experience. Every minute from arriving in Rome, to arriving in Positano for 8 nights, and returning to Rome was amazing. Our journey director was outstanding. Our fellow travelers were fabulous, a group of 12. We would explore the coast from this beautiful spot in Positano, each day setting out for adventure in a lovely Mercedes van. We were mostly in places where we saw few Americans, we ate at wonderful restaurants, and had an absolute blast. We had a wonderful blend of active and down time, we learned and saw so much, and laughed every day ! Amazing! The next trip was Florence, Cinque Terra, and Tuscany, amazing as well. The hotels and villa we stayed in were top notch, our journey director amazing, another perfect trip. This was a more active trip, but we enjoyed every second, we felt like we saw a very real side of Italy, not just tourist spots. The Time we spent on each spot was magical. The charming town of Lucca and the Villa in Tuscany were top of our list. We are not organized tour people, but the small group, perfectly curated Nada's trips are beyond. We could not recommend them more highly.

Beware of massive hidden fees and retroactive surcharges!…read more Our workshop host booked round-trip transportation from Charlotte Airport for our group. We were explicitly quoted $100.00 each for the trip. Even though our group size dropped slightly, we were incredibly generous guests--each rider tipped the drivers $20.00 each, totaling roughly $160.00 in cash tips per driver. After the trip was over, the company hit us with predatory, unannounced fees: A whopping $169.90 surcharge just for dropping two of us off at nearby hotels instead of the airport terminal and an extra $75.00 fee each (!) for "additional time" due to traffic and driver pacing. None of these charges were ever mentioned by dispatch or the drivers during the trip. If the drivers had given us any fair warning that slow traffic, a drop-off deviation or a quick bathroom break would nearly double our original quote, we would have easily passed on the break and just taken a cheap Uber to our hotel from the airport. Charging customers retroactive, surprise fees after issuing a fixed quote is incredibly dishonest business. We have already advised our host to rent vans internally or use a different transit provider next time. Save yourself the financial headache and book with someone else who practices transparent pricing!

Sora positions itself as a high-end tasting experience in Charlotte, but unfortunately my visit…read moredidn't live up to the expectations that come with a $275 per person tasting menu. The ambiance is what I would describe as a "modern cigar box." The lighting resembles a modern bedside lamp and the room itself feels small and subdued. When we visited there were only five guests being served in the entire restaurant. If you're looking for a place to see and be seen, this probably isn't it. The meal began with the amuse-bouche courses listed on the menu, but an unexpected bread service appeared later, after the opening dishes. The bread itself isn't listed anywhere on the tasting menu and the execution felt oddly disorganized. There were three guests at the table but only two plates, along with a mismatched amount of bread. We also had to request bread plates, which weren't initially provided. It didn't feel like a thoughtful accompaniment to the meal so much as something that appeared without much planning. Course-wise, nothing truly stood out. The Rainbow Trout was probably the best dish of the evening, but even that wasn't extraordinary. The rest of the menu leans heavily on luxury ingredients like toro, truffle, A5 wagyu, and foie gras, but the execution didn't elevate them in a memorable way. One course that particularly puzzled me was prime beef with mashed potatoes. Steak and mashed potatoes is something easily obtainable at countless restaurants. If you're going to put that on a $275 tasting menu, it needs to be exceptional. Unfortunately, this version simply wasn't. Service throughout the evening was inconsistent. Toward the end of the meal I sat with an empty water glass for roughly nine minutes, which shouldn't happen in a restaurant operating at this level. There were also some training issues with the host. During one presentation he placed a guest's dish facing the wrong direction and then attempted to explain the components left-to-right for two guests while reversing the explanation for the third guest rather than simply correcting the plate placement. His delivery felt awkward and rehearsed. This isn't meant as a criticism of the individual personally, but it suggests the staff could benefit from more training and refinement. At $275 per person, this was actually the most expensive base tasting menu of my last three fine-dining experiences, and unfortunately it was also the weakest. I'm giving Sora a generous 1.5 out of 5 stars. I'm open to the possibility that this was simply an off night, but considering how empty the dining room was, it does make me wonder if this is a more common occurrence than it should be. At this price point, diners deserve a much more polished and memorable experience.

The orchid conservatory is warm, vibrant, and thriving year-round! I was impressed with the size of their tropical plants - very impressive. It was a nice respite on a chilly December day. We were hoping to grab food at the cafe, but options were limited. Perhaps there are more food options during busier times.
