**Gem Alert** I am loving Charlotte! Basically because of places like this located in sweet ol' Midtown. I went here with a Groupon coupon just expecting to get a good deal for my money. I left with some much more. This is exactly what I want for every one of my future restaurant experiences. Walking in, the entire set up is uniquely designed to subtly stand out. The booths are romantically secluded out of sight and everything else just screams modern. From the chairs to the dishes, this place has its own style.
We ordered our drinks from the cocktail menu and I had to start with the cucumber refresher (see pic). Wow! Half way through it I had to go up to the bar to have a word with the bartender. Brian.. is the man! He took care of us the rest of the meal. He to our table and asked us what we liked, listened, and customized our drinks perfectly to sublime satisfaction. That is superior service. Thanks Brian! Our waitress was very knowledgeable about all of the sushi and we went to TOWN. We got everything... trust me, you cant go wrong.
Then we somehow found room for some dessert. I struck gold with the fried cheesecake (see pic) and the Wife got the lava cake (see pic). I wanted to give this place 4 stars because things were a bit pricey but then we had dessert. I felt so satisfied with spending big money here and would gladly be depositing more very soon. If you have to, go out of your way and stop by this spot for a great meal. Best sushi for me was the Metro roll. Oh yeah! Enjoy!
