The BEST restaurant I have experienced in Charlotte. Lively, friendly, but not overbearing, staff. We had a party of three but ended up seated next to an acquaintance who was having their featured entree-bison and lambchop. The aroma was too alluring to resist. As others have stated the pimento appetizer with bacon jelly is over the top good. Yes, it was loud but not in an obnoxious, beer bar kinda way. People were enjoying the dining experience and the comfortable, sleek setting. The complimentary valet was "icing on the cake", as they say. I will definitely be going back very soon.
