| - My wife and I had a very nice meal here. The ambiance is a bit dark and romantic. When we were first seated (with a reservation), we were given a small two-top table. Then I saw another couple seated after us at a four top and so asked our server if we could move to a larger table to make it easier for us to share our dishes. After a moment, she asked if we minded moving to the back dining room. We said of course not, and the back dining room was at least as nice as the front. So we were happy and appreciated them moving us with no issue.
The food and serve from there was all very good. My wife had the pasta with chorizo. Pasta was home made and the chorizo was not too spicy for her taste. It was also more than enough food, and I had to suck it up and help her finish.
I had the fresh-caught North Carolina amberjack, which was rich and meaty. It was almost as good as real meat. I don't order fish often because it can leave me feeling unsatisfied, but this dish was more than enough for me.
So, we had a lovely experience here at Passion8. My only reservation about going back is that some of the pricing was a bit surprising, like $26 for pasta, $13 for a Manhattan, and $9 for after dinner coffee and limoncello. I would not have even noticed if I was in San Francisco, Chicago, or New York; I guess I just don't think of Charlotte as on a par with those cities.
But for a romantic meal with your special someone, I think this place is right on.
