The first time I went to Sydney's was on a Wednesday after a Hornet's game around 10 pm. I entered into an attractive crowd both men and women with a great band performing! (Ladies, you should have seen these guys in the band!) um. The drinks were nice and strong and the service was prompt. I was pleasantly surprised as I've been in search of a grown and sexy environment since my recent relocation to Charlotte two months ago.
So my husband I decided to visit Sydney's again on a Friday night and again it was a great night. Another great jazz band. Beautiful well dressed couples and lots of eye candy for the singles. You can't go wrong here. I believe they have a DJ that starts after the band around midnight.
As far as food is concerned. Everything that came out looked pretty tasty. I only had the shrimp cocktail which could have been presented in a better manner but I am a snob when it comes to food presentation. Definitely check it out.
