It was our first night in Charlotte, arriving late and hungry, we opted to go to Picassos, not knowing anything about it.
The atmosphere for a Thursday night was very casual. It was typical of sports type bars with sports on every TV, but was more laid back with country music playing at a level that still allowed for conversation without having to yell. It was also very clean; tables weren't sticky or anything like that. Also the staff and patrons all seemed very polite and courteous; nothing loud or obnoxious.
Our server Finley was amazing. He was well versed in the menu items, as well as local beers. He did a great job at recommending items for us to try, and was very attentive.
The food was great. Per Finley, everything is homemade but the cheese, and it tasted that way. Nothing tasted out of the box or can - it was all very fresh. We had the spinach & artichoke dip, Caribbean wings, and a veggie pizza (see images). All were great.
Would highly recommend especially for late night dinners.
