Come for the food, the fried chicken or other home cooked dish, or the story that makes this restaurant what it is. The point is that it is a must. I dare say the gem of Charlotte. Out of town guests? Don't tell them the fact that this is a non-profit giving a few great people a chance at learning a new skill in this upscale restaurant setting. Tell them as they enjoy their meal.
The bakery is fantastic. Take some home. Try to dessert. You'll be glad you did.
