I've decided nearly two years later ... this is my favorite restaurant in downtown charlotte. I'm not sure why others haven't uncovered this gem. The hearty new American and Italian style features an excellent cheese plate, gastropub style burgers, short rib pastas and really good roasted brussel sprouts that make you excited for the vegetable again. The setting is good for a date night or a meal with colleagues, service is friendly and you can typically get a reservation during the week. Whether you want a multi-course meal or just a good meal that doesn't take too long the folks at customshop can sort you out.
