| - This is the sexiest restaurant in Charlotte.
No lies, no exaggerations.
The.
Sexiest.
Restaurant.
In.
Charlotte.
Dim mood lighting, ambient house music, and an American menu that is sure to please.
Even the hostess was hot! But her hotness decreased when she (a) took a phone call before speaking to me and (b) addressed this Russian woman in a long camel coat after said phone call, although she knew I'd been standing there longer. I had to let my City out, stand up to the hussy and say, "I'm sorry, I was here first, thank you." Bloody hell.
We (my mom, my older cousin, and I) were seated in a dark corner, which I thought was brooding and sexy, but my mom and my cousin complained that they couldn't see what they were eating. My scan over the menu revealed options for discriminating tastes, essentially, something for everyone. Prices were EXTREMELY reasonable (then again, this is Charlotte, not DC or New York), ranging from $6 for salads to about $30 for entrees.
I ordered the barbeque chicken pizza, which was niiiiice. The chicken was tender and pleasantly seasoned, and worked well with the savory tomato sauce. The parmesan cheese, which I'm not used to on pizza, was excellent.
My mom and cousin just got the house salad, which was supposed to include all sorts of pomp and circumstance in the form of apples and pecans, etc etc, but when it got to the table, it was really unsavory. My mom's lettuce was brown and the salad didn't have any of the pomp and circumstance. One of my biggest fears is sending something back to the kitchen--for fear of getting a spit or urine surprise--but my mum's got chops. Boy, do these people take pride in their dishes: The executive chef, Klime Kovaceski, made her another salad and brought it out to her himself. Ace service, man. Our waiter was very attentive and had a pleasant NC accent.
And as penance for the unsavory salads, we got dessert on the house. The Chocolate Bomb is choco-lious!!!! A little scoop of chocolate ice cream on the side, plus a drizzle of strawberry and mint sauces.... Heeeeeaven!
We didn't drink because of our religious cousin, but next time mommy and I come to Mez, we're hitting up the wine list, which was quite impressive. There's a book of reserve wines by the bottle, and a very extensive list of by-the-glass options. The cocktail menu was also fabulous, but the prices amazed me, averaging $10 per drink, which is pricey for Charlotte, but this place is poshy enough for it to be worth it.
So go pick up some sexy at Mez. It's more expensive than Charlotte's used to, but it's well worth it, even if it's just to feel poshy for a little bit.
