All of the food we ate had promise. Even though most of it was served after it had obviously sat on a counter for a long period of time, you could still tell that each dish was unique and flavorful. However, because of the service, we'd need a very compelling reason to ever go back given the remaining competition in Charlotte. For the two of us, appetizers took an hour to arrive at the table (and they weren't busy). To his credit, the waiter did recognize this and made up with two additional glasses of the wine we were drinking (forgivable error). Then our main courses both came out at a medium temperature at best. Similar results with the dessert (half of my wife's sorbet was already melted 50% of the way). My cocktail order for dessert took over 10 mins to receive, as our waiter took approximately 15 mins to get down the order for the 8-person table next to us. Eventually, another server brought the drink. They also managed to hose up the parking validation, so we dropped an extra $5 for a good kick on the way out. This is going to be a $100 meal for two (more with cocktails or wine). No way I'd recommend this place to a friend unless I had gone back and seen the service pick way up. But again, I'm not dropping another $100 or more to find out.
