| - We went here for an anniversary dinner last Saturday. We actually had reservations elsewhere, but when we saw that the cocktails here sounded a lot better, we decided to change our plans.
This is now one of my favorite Charlotte restaurants, and I have eaten at 120 places here in the last year and a half.
We started with shishito peppers, which had a very yummy sauce on them. Next up was crudo, which was one of the best crudos I've had. We followed that up with beef tartare (very good) and brandade (a new dish for us -- it's basically a warm cod and potato spread that you eat over bread). But the BEST dish was the 60-day aged beef. Mind blowing. It was so flavorful and tender...I could've had about 10 plates! For dessert, my wife had the carrot cake (paired nicely with ginger ice cream), while I had charred peaches.
Drinks are very unique, and the bartender was really nice and even came over to help me choose my second cocktail.
Service was outstanding. Our waitress provided excellent service and was attentive to our needs. No one was snooty or pretentious, although it's clear everyone takes pride in their work.
Decor is super cute. It did get difficult having so many plates on the small tables for two, but that's a minor complaint. Open-concept kitchen and bar is nice to see, too.
I can't wait to come back here!
