Savannah Red - Adam, Deanna and all of their helpers - did a magnificient job caring my small company (12 person) Christmas dinner!
First of all, the hotel (restaurant is located in the Marriott City Center) was packed with runners for the marathon the next day. (My only minor beef is that the restaurant could use better signage off the hotel lobby.) Yet Adam, Deanna and their staff made us feel like we were the only ones in the place. Service was attentive but not intrusive and kept the evening moving along.
We enjoyed cocktails in the small bar area and it felt like a private club. Deanna answered questions knowledgably and provided great suggestions when requested.
Dinner was served (and the entire room reserved for us) in the space used for breakfast - but you'd never have known it from the feel. It was candlelit and intimate without being close and claustrophobic. Can't wait for next year when we have enough people to take over the intimate dining room!
Where do I begin with the food? Creative, unique menu that I've never seen anywhere else in Charlotte. Heavily focused on meat, chicken and seafood (sorry, my vegetarian friends) and all executed to perfection. My personal favorite - the Krispy Kreme Bread Pudding for dessert.
I highly recommend this restaurant for both the food and for the service. Thank you to my fellow Yelpers for the recommendation and helping me score points with my brand new co-workers.
