| - In short, our experience was...confusing. They use the NoWait app (which should really be the Now Wait app) that told us the wait at 6:15pm was 120-180 minutes. So I used the app to "get in line" and walked in to make sure we were in fact, in line. To my surprise the parking lot was pretty damn empty. Walked inside and it was not packed at all. The hostess asked if we wanted to be seated now, which is just a weird question. Of course I want to be seated now?
Anyway, we got the table and the service was just okay. The cocktails can be talked up all they want, but they aren't really anything amazing. Their version of an old fashioned is $16 and last I checked this is CLT, not Upper Manhattan. The charcuterie board was mediocre at best. Meat, cheese, and mini pancakes with a microscopic dollop of mustard and 3 slices of homemade pickles. Absolutely not worth $32 (these margins are ridiculous).
The vibe and interior are pretty cool, but aside from that I would say go to Davidson Street Public House or an equivalent, for good food and good drinks at reasonable prices. 3/5...decent craft cocktails, interesting food menu, but unnecessarily expensive. Also, some of the more administrative-type kinks need to be worked out.
