Giving this place five stars because I have been nearly ruined when it comes to eating anywhere else in Charlotte. Dramatic, yes, and totally true. The restaurant serves consistently delicious food and, save for my occasional vegan fancies, this traveling girl is in love. Favorites: Peruvian ceviche; Jerusalem artichoke bisque with seared scallop; scallop main course with squash risotto; bucatini pasta; Butcher burger (if seated at the bar). Fancy cocktails, a lengthy wine list and (what?) a bartender who is also a magician. Staff is multinational, attentive and knows their ingredients. Prices reflect the fancy fare, but if it's in your budget and you're looking for a special night out, I recommend this spot. I love good food and beautiful presentation and this place has me totally spoiled.
