I was really excited to try this place due to all the hype I've read. The place was spacious and upscale feeling. The wine selection was decent and enjoyable. However I was disappointed with the food and service.
The server came around and was eager to take our wine order but we had to wait a little over 30 minutes after the wine to give our food order, after flagging down the waiter (party of 4). We often had to flag the waiter down for our water to be filled up, and we waited a while to flag down the waiter for this as well. But it could have just been that night.
The food took a little longer to prepare. Which is understandable being a semi busy evening. I had the zucchini along with other veggies, my friends ordered bruschetta and a little cheese platter. You get three to four pieces of bruschetta that's not warm and with several bites. So this place is to come if you're willing to spend money and are not hungry.
My food had very little flavor, and was not warm. It was suppose to be a hot dish when the waiter brought it he stated to be careful that it's a hot plate. Yet it was warm to cold when I ate it. When I pay for a small plate that's $12 I wish it would be more flavorful and hot, how it should be. The taste was very bland for me as well.
I'm sure the cheese platters are delicious, but there are better places in Charlotte that offer such selection with delicious food for the price, along with richer flavors and better service.
