 | 	- OMG! What took me so long to visit? This place is wonderful! The curb appeal is excellent. I love the wine vines that line the entry way. The atmosphere, indoor and out, is cottage chic. The outdoor patio is so inviting.  It feels like you've been invited to a fabulous dinner party. What a great space!
The staff is super friendly! The hostesses, waiters and manager were all very pleasant and attentive (without being annoying). They genuinely wanted to ensure that we had a great experience. 
The food is DELICIOUS! We came for restaurant week so we enjoyed a three course meal and a glass of wine for $30. We decided to share everything. The meal includes warm bread and fresh pomegranate honey butter. The butter was incredible!! My mouth is watering just thinking about it. For dinner, we started with the sautéed shrimp gnocchi and kale salad. Both were flavorful and delicious. For the main course, we ordered the hanger steak with risotto and the bone-in pork chop over a light German pasta. The steak was tender and juicy. The risotto was good, but the grains were a little large for my personal taste. The show stopper was the bone-in pork chop. It was absolutely amazing!!  It's was thick, but still juicy, tender and sooooo flavorful. I couldn't get enough. The restaurant rotates the menu items. If this item is on the menu it is a must try!! 
For dessert, we split the salted caramel cheesecake and the peaches and creme. They were a great way to finish a fabulous meal. Surprisingly, I enjoyed the peaches and cream a little but more than the cheesecake. It was so light and it had a blueberry compote in the middle. Yum! 
I also really enjoyed the house merlot (which the manager treated us too since we had to wait a while for a table). It was a Prologue by Anderson's Conn Valley Vineyards. It was delicious. It was light and fruity with a smooth finish. 
I can't wait to visit again. They have happy hour specials in the evening and live music a few nights a week. They also have brunch on Sundays.
After only one visit this is one of my favorite restaurants in Charlotte. I love everything about this place. The atmosphere, the food, the wine and the people. Great job guys!!
