On May 15th 2017 they were issued a sanitation score of 83%. For those unaware that is considered a B by the North Carolina state board of health and safety. After reviewing their preverbial "report card" I read that they were "dinged" for common sense things like improper hand washing and chefs not properly covering their hair and beards and also leaving their personal car keys and belongings near food prep areas. I wish I could say this is small stuff, but this is often times how norovirus and other food contaminated illnesses spread. Soooo chew on that for a moment.
As for the look and feel of the establishment. I will echo what many others have said...it's trendy, young and in my personal experience...all three times that I have been here the wait staff has been courteous, maybe not prompt.... but courteous. Anytime after 9 PM on weekends gets a little loud and has the feel of a club. There's even a velvet rope outside with a line waiting to get in. Music is loud, crowd is young...food is suspect. Oh yeah and the last few times I was there, they ran outta simple, yet key ingredients to make the most basic cocktails. I wouldn't say not to go, since everyone talks about this place, but I also say don't have high expectations. Enter at your own risk and please for the love of God, PLEASE don't take your date here...it's not exactly a quiet date night kinda place.
