| - I went for Restaurant Week and was unfortunately disappointed. My reservations were 6:15 on a Sat. night, before the real rush starts, yet the service was slow and not responsive. The restaurant menu was limited with most of the more attractive options at various up-charges. This may have been advertised ahead of time, if so, that's on me. Regardless, that is something of a pet peeve that most restaurants are now doing. I would prefer a $40-$45 prix fix charge than the bait and switch, but I digress...
My grilled oysters appetizer was actually very, very good. But then my main course, a grilled whole rose fish was pretty flavorless. If you are going to grill a whole fish, ideally it is going to be a big, meaty fish. Otherwise you spend most of your time picking bones out of your mouth, which I did between flavorless bites. My wife's scallops were very good, though portion sizes were very small. They were out of the bottle of wine we wanted - again, 6:15 pm reservations - and the side of cornbread our friends ordered didn't come until after we had already completed our main courses. To cap it off, they couldn't split the bill correctly but rather than correct it I just exchanged a few bucks with our friends so we could go someplace else for a drink.
In short, outside of a few, limited highlights the service was not great, where the food was good, the portions left a lot to be desired and we really couldn't get out of there fast enough. There are a lot of great seafood options in Charlotte, this is not one of them.
