It's hard for us to write negative reviews, like this one. We want to like places. We gave Namastay a shot on a Sunday afternoon, and maybe they just had an off day.
But today was definitely off. The truffle fries were very good, as was the Gouda Grits dish.
The waitress described that their "medium" is usually too pink for most & therefore we ordered Medium instead of medium rare burgers. They were both over cooked to the point of being a hockey puck, no trace that the party had ever once displayed a property of pink, much less red.
The kids meal came out 7 minutes after the adult meals, and those meals only came out after a very long time - where they actually took the orders around us before our order - even though we were there long before the other tables.
One of the sides came out 5 minutes after the kids meal, at which point the adults were almost finished eating altogether.
The kicker was: she offered us a 5 dollar coupon for our "next visit" to make up for all the issues. I'm sure if you read this much, then you know there will never be a next time. Charlotte is filled with so many options, no need to waste our time and hard earned money here again.
