I fear Cosmos Cafe is in decline. Apparently, others do too, because we were the first people seated in the large dining room at 6:10 pm, on an evening when uptown Charlotte was bustling with activity. They were out of two items we ordered: given that we seemed to be the first dinner customers, perhaps they are giving up and not even stocking themselves to sell what is on their menu. We ordered three small plates. The falafel was bland, the spinach-artichoke dip ordinary. It was a disappointing meal.
