Yea... that's decadent but the portions are sized such that it's all manageable. I watch too many high-end cooking shows and I'm often left asking myself: "Where could I eat THAT in Charlotte?" I now have an answer.
Yes, I have been overly critical in my 4-star rating. However, at this level of dining I'm deducting a single star as the steak was more medium than medium rare. I am however looking forward to return again and again until I find the missing fifth star.
