  • I really liked the idea of this restaurant, locally sourced food and an ever changing menu to accommodate ingredients. Although the overall Yelp rating is middling, it seems alot of the lower reviews were from a couple of years ago and more recent reviewers were stronger, so I was excited to try Customshop. Unfortunately, my meal in November 2013 was uneven. Some dishes were 5-star and some were 2-star. Four small plates, two cocktails, one dessert and one coffee ran $80, which was fair. The space is small and attractive. I made an Open Table reservation a couple of days ahead, but apparently you have to reserve even further ahead than that to get a booth. Fair enough, and a small table (enough room for two water glasses, two drink glasses, two small plates, and one entree) is usually fine for the "tapas" option we were having as I was expecting the dishes to be brought out one at a time. Unfortunately, three of the small plates were ordered were all brought out at the same time. I ended up having to eat my pork belly, which was hot, before my burrata di buffalo, which was cold. Had I known everything was going to be brought out when we ordered it I would have ordered the dishes one at a time in the order I wanted to eat them. In terms of quality, from high to low, I had: 5-star: Bread pudding. Probably the best I have had, and I have bread pudding whenever it is on the menu. The bread was moist and all of the sweet buttery goodness of flavor was captured in the bread - no syrup or sauce poured over. 5-star: Beef carpaccio. Simply presented with salt, pepper, oil, and fresh horseradish, but wonderfully melt-in-your-mouth tender and flavorful. I was left wanting much much more of this. 4-star: Shrimp ceviche. Carolina shrimp were tender but the promised heat from the jalapeno was not there. Could also have used a spoon to work with the sauce. 2-star: Pork belly. Unevenly cooked and underseasoned. A big disappointment. 2-star: Burrata di bufala with roasted beets and pistachios. The burrata was bland and the beets exhibited little roasting flavor. The best part of this dish was the arugula salad which housed the pistachios. I would love to give Customshop another try, though with many good restaurants to choose from in Charlotte I do not know if I will be able to.
