After reading the exceptionally good reviews here I was expecting the same but instead left highly stressed & hungry. I ordered the pork chop & made it very clear I wanted it cooked well done, no pink. I even told server I'd rather it be over cooked than under cooked, she assured me it would be. It came out pink inside. The server wanted me to keep all sides, & she just wanted to send pork chop back to kitchen leaving me to eat sides alone & nothing to eat with chop. I suggested the whole dish should come out togather she got irritated with me & said it would take longer to do that. I said I have to wait for the chop anyway. She again said it would take longer & followed up with "what do you want me to do". I chose that the meal come out all togather. By now I'm getting stressed. I asked another server if I could speak to manager & was told none were there just the chef & someone named Nina, I spoke to Nina (never was told what her status was). She didn't introduce herself or her position instead went right into defending the server & proceeded to tell me you no longer have to worry about undercooked pork but I like it cooked well done, that's my preference. By now my husband had finished his flounder which was undercooked & portion was ridiculously small which we didn't mention & I had lost my appetite. Nina did ask if I wanted something else & comped my husband's meal. This is a beautiful restaurant & I was so looking forward to this being my favorite place to eat but this left me with a bad feeling.
Again, high end so yes, pricey. Wonderful experience!
Outstanding food , outstanding service in a beautiful restaurant and setting. Will continue to visit on a consistent time frame. Highly recommend a visit/reservation to anyone visiting or living in this area or just passing through. Enjoy the experience!
Excellent experience! High end so dress up. Outside deck overlooks a river. Great atmosphere. Staff was attentive, well organized, and prompt.
The bread was amazing. Had the roasted beet salad and it was so tasty the way it was put together, all flavors matched well. Same with the butter lettuce salad. The pork chop was excellent, very tender.
We enjoyed walking by the river after dinner, very peaceful.
Impeccable service, extraordinary food, unmatchable atmosphere...a true dining EXPERIENCE! We loved everything about our dinner here.
This place is insanely good. Amazing. Even as a foodie, it's one of the best meal experiences I've had in a long time. The building was beautiful, atmosphere calm and composed, the staff was spot on and the food was incredible in both taste and presentation. This place has a knack for creating intricate, tasty meals that also feel light and delicate. I also love how they didn't over-salt the food most other restaurants. Please move to charlotte. I'll be back.... I recommend to anyone who wants a top notch experience. So good. Can't stop thinking about it.
