Overall, it was a great experience from the wait staff, the hostesses, the apps to the desserts --- I use my NJ/NY pallet experiences as a benchmark and this Charlotte dining experience is in my top #5!
Our dishes:
Raw Oysters- different twist, but good (caveat - we're used to traditional cocktail sauce and fresh horseradish)
Carpaccio- deliciously excellent!
Octopus- very good; the addition of olives produced a higher salt content than I would have liked, but the various other textures made it very tasty and enjoyable
Elk Chop- ***** 5 STARS!! My first elk experience and it was fantastic. The compilation of a flavors including a mustard glaze, marinated shredded cabbage, and horseradish infused gnocchi-esque creation was to die for... Seriously, last meal worthy!
Beignets- These just put us in the euphoric state of "life's worth the stresses as long as we can afford to eat like this" mood ;)
Sugar, fried dough, coffee ice cream over a
Bed of cinnamon and a lovely dipping sauce.
Topped it off with a French pressed coffee and 10-yr Tawny port.
The End.
To the Chef/Owner: Bravo!

Cons- ......
