This is my favorite restaurant in Charlotte. I love everything about it, except the capacity. It's easier to get a spot to eat when it's just me and my girlfriend or with 1 other couple. If you have more than 4 in your party, you will definitely have a good wait on the weekends. That being said, I don't mind a wait when I'm dining here because I'll either get one of their finely crafted cocktails or go downstairs to Twenty-Two (See my review). Once I get a table...IT'S ON.
The restaurant is a fusion of American, Greek, and Japanese (well, sushi mainly). It's tapas style and I'll usually order 2 small plates at a time to split. It's a pretty interesting menu when you bring all 3 of these together. My favorite dish is hands down the sashimi tuna tacos. My eyes usually roll into the back of my head as I savor each bite. They just taste so fresh and smooth. We always get the cheese plate to nibble on throughout the meal, and it's massive...a really good value. The spanikopita is a favorite and we always get a roll of sushi. They have great sushi. The quality is there and you can taste it. They have a great brunch too, love the pimiento mac n' cheese. They also have these breakfast pierogis with fried bologna and maple syrup. That dish is out of this world.
I love the selection of music (very loungy) and the patio overlooks the skyline of Charlotte. Soul was voted one of the city's best restaurants for a reason.
