I'll rate CO in the "spectacular" category. By far the best thing I've come across in Charlotte in the last 15 years. Everything works. Just pick something, anything, from the list and it will amaze you!
I'm usually a bit hard going on eateries. Check my other reviews. I mention this for comparisons sake. I'm not a softball kind of reviewer.
The only small gripe I have with CO is this: please lose the high top tables. I truly don't enjoy dangling my legs while I dine. High tops look fabulous in pictures but "in use" ... not so much.
That being said, the menu is so wonderfully executed, I would be willing to sit on the curb or on a turned over painter's pail. Don't be fooled by the strip mall location, CO is an Exquisite dining experience!
