I am from Charleston and my girlfriend and I were in Charlotte for a Panther game and we elected to dine here that weekend after seeing the restaurant on EATER.
We were greeted and taken to our seats quickly, we had reservations on a Friday night but it was only about 50% of capacity. We started with a couple of cocktails. They have a decent cocktail and and wine list with a few craft beers. We ordered a bread plate which was an appetizer special and included small dollops of pimento cheese, a garlic butter, and a house made jam. It was a good way to start the meal. We didn't get the biscuits with the famous bacon jam but they looked delicious when served to the adjacent table.
I ordered the chicken and dumplings for my entree and it was great. The gnocchi dumplings are more like tiny fried potato cakes then gnocchi. The chicken was moist served with grilled carrots and (pickled?) beets, and it is served a table side au jus application.
We ordered a fried okra for the table. This was the weakest item, while battered and fried crispy it was grossly under seasoned and served in a cream fraiche sauce that was also suffering from a fatal lack of seasoning. I love fried okra and this dish has potential but fell short at our visit.
My girlfriend ordered the beef dish which was served as small medallions over a creamy potato. (Think about every beef dish you've ever been served at a wedding.) The temperature was a bit off approaching overcooked and the dish suffered from the same under-seasoning noted with the okra.
Overall I would try this place again. Maybe for brunch next time as it appears from reading other reviews they are a bit more consistent with those items.
