I may have to call this place my favorite steak house in Charlotte. A friend and I decided to give this place a try during the CIAA tournament, since it's away from uptown.
We arrived around 7:30 pm for our 8 pm reservations and we were seated just a little after 8. Before being seated we had a few drinks at the bar and took in some of the decor. The walls were covered with various caricatures of celebrities, I thought that was a pretty cool thing to decorate the walls with. The overall decor is very inviting, I think they may have outdone Morton's and Ruth Chris.
The food was excellent. I ordered an 18 oz new york strip and I must say it's one of the best cooked steaks I've had in Charlotte. The seasoning was perfect and they got the temperature perfect for a medium-rare steak. The potato and cream of spinach sides were really awesome and I just couldn't get enough of the flour-less chocolate cake.
Service was great. Our waitress was very friendly, attentive and patient. She had no problems with answering our questions about the various cuts of meat, the sauces or the lobster sizes.
I don't have any negatives to report for this establishment and I will be returning many times in the future. Just out of curiosity, I would like to see one of the 6 pound lobsters that our waitress told us about :)
