| - This has become my new favorite haunt in Charlotte. I tried it for the first time while a friend was visiting from out of town. We went for pre-dinner cocktails and liked it so much (we had considered just cancelling our dinner reservations) we returned immediately after dinner for more. I have gone back since then, and enjoyed it every bit as much.
The small plates, cocktails, ambiance, and service are all excellent. But if you're one of those people who assumes the rules shouldn't apply to you because (insert lame excuse here) then you probably shouldn't go. They take their house rules seriously, including the dress code. As we were leaving someone was turned away for wearing shorts.
However if you like a relaxed, grownup atmosphere and can act accordingly you will love this place. So read the house rules on the website before you sign up for membership and realize yes, they do apply to you too. The rules, which basically spell out "act like a grownup", are part of what make this place so enjoyable. You don't have to worry about some blowhard ruining your night because he thinks it's Hooters. Put away your phone, or put it on vibrate and know you'll need to go outside to make or take that call, put on your big boy/girl clothing and manners, then enjoy the evening. The cocktails and the food are worth the effort.
The food and drink menu changes so understand if you see a cocktail or dish on Yelp or elsewhere it may or may not be on the menu when you go. Just know that what is on the menu when you do go is going to be REALLY good.
