| - I went into this place with a sense of dread. It was chosen by my father in-law and his business partner for a family dinner (yes, the business partner is considered family.) I feared what 2 guys in their 70's would pick. Walking into the place, it was exactly what I expected. Very dark with a 1970's era feel with minor attempts to update itself (3 widescreen TVs.). The theme was interesting, choosing to look like the lobby of a since demolished hotel in Charlotte (hence the name.)
The table was a little cramped for 6 of us, but we managed. The complimentary mini cornbread was fresh out of the oven and quite tasty (and I normally don't like cornbread.)
For my meal I chose the Chicken Cordon Bleu. It honestly was probably the best Cordon Bleu I've ever had. The hollandaise sauce on it is wonderful. The business partner and his wife had the Jumbo Gumbo. I assume it's good because they eat there regularly, but man, it was, well, jumbo. Each one of those could easily feed to people (neither finished theirs and took the rest home.)
The wife and I split the DC's Pie for desert, The chocolate/peanut butter pie was just awesome. Granted, I'm a sucker for anything peanut butter and Chocolate, but that was excellent. It takes a lot to get an audible moan out of me, but this pie did it.
