We were in town for a cheer competition and needed a place close by to eat in between performances. The proximity to the convention center made this our first choice.
It was NFL Championship Sunday and we hit the place right at the start of the first game. Our party of seven was seated within five minuets. They must have noticed my over active two year old and our clan of cheerleaders so we were seated on the second floor all the way in the back. I thought it was odd since the second floor never even remotely came close to being full, but on retrospect, it fit us well. It allowed the kids not to be strapped to their seats the entire time while not annoying the rest of the guests.
Service was quick considering the day. Menu seemed to be traditional American fair. I opted for the grilled chicken melt on a recommendation from the waiter. Drinks came out quick but the food took some time. Luckily the kids were entertained with the billiards table right next to us.
Once the food arrived I was not impressed. The grilled chicken melt was extremely dry and the size of the chicken filet was a fraction of the bread it came on. My wife had ordered the grilled chicken zingers (boneless wings) however they came out fried.
Overall the atmosphere and proximity to downtown Charlotte entertainment is what this place has going for it. I would recommend it for drinks and appetizers prior to a Hornets or Panthers game (or during the game - lots of big screen TV's). If you're looking for quality of food, I'm sure there are other choices.
