Best meal I've had in Charlotte since Bently's maybe. They really get the most out of a small space.
We went for restuarant week (just a warning this place is probably over $100 a couple, I would consider that $$$$). I got the pork belly. This is usually super boring and honestly I wish all restaurants would be move on from 2000 and stop serving this but I was excited about the pickled quail egg it came with. That was good along with the rest of the picked veggies it came with. However, I was pretty shocked with the pork. It was actually good. Pork belly is an inherantly fatty piece of meat and most chefs seem to go as far as to pick the fattiest ones. In this pork belly I could actually taste the pork. The star ended up being the gravy though. Somehow he made a brown, buttery gravy that was really light. I'm going to experiment with this, my best guess is that he really heavily whisks the gravy seconds before it is served. My wife had a plate of different tomatos with the panini a perfect combo of tomato and cheese.
For the maid course I got the chicken surf and turf. The chicken was very good, great sauce again with pickled veggies. It reminded me of the appetizer with a different main meet. The turf part, eh. It has basically a hush puppie with shrimp paste. I'm not a fan of seafood pastes. I wish they had used big pieces of shrimp. The wife went with the halibut. I liked the addition of mashed potatos in a cooked cabbage leaf, interesting.
The desserts weren't particularl inventive but both on the upper end of the typical desserts you get at these places. Overall, this place is amazing.
