Really enjoyed our dinner here. Great atmosphere. Minor downside: Our waitress was a little "cool" but I don't think she was getting my husband's humor or was maybe just having a bad day. She wasn't rude but not what I expect of a higher end waitstaff. On the other hand, the hostess (even though new) was super friendly and cheerful as was the bartender.
Now, onto the highlights - LOVED the food here...Apps: Was looking forward to the tuna tacos from the website instead they had Grilled Tuna Tacos. Yum - quite a bit of kick and very tasty, nice presentation. Small portion so I'm glad we ordered some other apps for the table. Drunken Mussels - really good. My hubby isn't a mussel fan but he was scarfing them up. Lamb Sliders - very flavorful, nice presentation too. I think I could easily come here and just do tapas for dinner. I had the Shrimp and Risotto (twist on Shrimp and Grits). It was awesome. I really enjoyed the flavor and texture of the dish. Our friends had a steak and the grilled salmon. They both thoroughly enjoyed their meals. My husband got the rack of lamb and he also raved about how good it was and prepared perfectly.
Since my stepson will be attending UNCC in the fall, we'll be back in this area and I suspect we will be making this one of our frequent stops when in town.
