| - Loved the concept of a truly locally sourced restaurant, and the variety of fresh mushrooms offered was great as well (I'm a mushroom fanatic!). Unfortunately, on the first night of restaurant week, almost every dish tasted burned. The pasta was clearly homemade, but too thick and hence slightly undercooked (this was the What's Up Doc featured on the Charlotte Agenda only days earlier). The wait staff tried, but the busser was not having any of it that night. It was a long drive out to this place for someone without a car, and we had waited for this night for a while, but we just couldn't get behind the ambiance (more run down old lodge than romantic rustic), the service, or the food. Glad to have checked this off the list, as it would not be a place I want to keep wishing I had gotten to go to (really love the idea of it), but we won't be going back. Great concept, but didn't meet expectations at all. For $100, I expect more than one dish to merit a thumbs up.
