I used to work in Asheville several days a week loved Tupelo Honey (both the downtown and Hendersonville Rd locations) and was really excited when it came to Charlotte, but consistently the ambiance and service are not the same. I can't put my finger on the difference, but it's disappointing. The drinks, beer selection and wine list are good and pricing is consistent with similar Charlotte restaurants, but for me, it's worth the 3 hour trip to Asheville to eat at the original.
