We were excited to hear about this new bar specializing in wine and scotch. We decided to go on opening day and headed for the 15th floor of the Ritz Carlton. We were promptly seated by the window and began going through the extensive list of wines and scotch. We had to wait quite a while for service which we chalked up to a opening day rough spot. Our server was friendly and knowledgeable as she guided us in selecting cheese and salami for a great cheese plate. I had a flight of Shiraz and my husband enjoyed an irish whiskey. The glassware is awesome! The Reider glasses enhance the enjoyment of the drink. The cheese plate was a fabulous 3 tiered work of art. We had a delightful time sampling the many flavor combinations. Favorites included the wild boar and salami piccante and the layered goats cheese from California. The plates need to be rethought. They have a cool handmade look, but wobble on the table in an annoying fashion.
With wonderful seating, a beautiful view of Charlotte, and delicious food and drink, we will return to the Ritz carlton living room. We expect to have the service kinks worked out.
