| - We had some friends come into town so we decided to show them what the QC had to offer. After a day of shuttling around Charlotte, we stopped in to NoDa, and this neat place.
Since there was a considerable wait, we decided to start off with some beverages. The selection on tap is great, ranging from local brews on out. Although crowded, we found room at one of several stand-up tables in the front bar area. When seated, we reviewed the menu, and boy! did that cause some problems!
Everything looked awesome. We decided to try several things, and just go family-style. The pizza was good, but not "holy mackerel". The ingredients were fresh and tasty. The crust was thin, but not too flavorful. Sometimes this is good, especially if you're more interested on your toppings. Me? I'm a carb fan, and as such demand a lot from my doughs! What really blew me away was the lamburger! One bite and I was in heaven! The divinity of this burger was nothing short of a spiritual awakening, both in my mouth and in my belly! A juicy, well-seasoned hunk of ground lamb lightly dressed with fresh, homemade cucumber yogurt sauce (aka tzatziki or masto khiar) sitting on top of a ciabatta bun made this dish deelish! Everyone at the table agreed that this was, by far, the best on the table.
We finished off with some homemade gelato. Smooth, light, and refreshing after a hard day's traveling!
Overall, a great time was had by all. The service was friendly, although due to the heavy traffic, we didn't have too much time to interact. The location is awesome, and our seating was probably the best in the house with views of the eclectic NoDa area! The story of the building itself is really neat too.
Noosh!
