| - I finally can say Charlotte has great restaurants!
We came with a group of friends.
Food:
1. Complementary bread with home made garlic butter spread: It's amazing!!!!
2. Small plates:
a. Honey Cones: Made from heaven! 3 different types of local honey cones, with cheddar biscuits, blue berries and beets. Great combination and it's definitely something you don't see in any other restaurants!
b. Braised pork belly: crispy outside edges and juicy meat inside. I hate fatty meat, but I like this! Actually, I love this!
c. Brussel Sprouts: I hate Brussel Sprouts in general, but this one is crispy and blends well with the rest plates.
d. Bbq octopus: crunchy ends and thick and tend in the middle. Very flavorful! Very good! This is speaking from a non-octopus fan!
e. Spicy tuna meatballs: I had high hopes for this one, but was actually a little disappointed. Didn't taste too different from regular meatballs. This is probably the only one I won't order again.
3. Entrees:
a. Smoke Duck: really good. Doesn't taste gamy, which is what I was worried about. Tastes very smoky! I like the flavor and the sides that come with it. Just a little too rare (ordered medium) for my preference. Everyone else loves it though.
b. Steak: flavor is good! Tasted good! Again, too rare for my liking, but everyone else loves it!
c. Ink Squid bucatini: good!
4. Desert: Bread pudding. Comes in a hot skillet. Rich flavor and tastes a little different than the ones I had in the past, and we all love it (everyone ordered the bread pudding. Two share one order, 3 orders in total)! It's very hearty, so if you want something more refreshing, try something different.
Service: the food came out fast and service is good. Try to come with group of friends so you can order different small plates! Also avoid Saturdays, it's going to be packed. We came on a Sunday night and it was totally worth the wait. Will definitely come here again with more friends!
