So the only positive of your birthday falling on a Monday is that you get to go to Soul and not even have to wait for a table. Place is intimate. Really intimate. As in I felt like I was also on a date with the tables on either side of me. Thats seriously the only con from my experience last night. It's a great place to go for a special occasion because you can justify ordering half of the 10,000 things you want. Plus the tapas style of dining is perfect for conversation because you eat a little, then take a break.
We came for the pork belly tacos. This is a dish that actually lives up to the hype. I feel like so many of the "must eat in charlotte" things don't. The flavors were incredible. Really simple but the sauce on the pork belly and the watermelon were perfect compliments. I could have eaten 12 more.
Next were the dirty south nachos. I am personally not a fan of fried chicken skin I now know. The pimento cheese and pickled okra they were topped with were very good though.
Korean BBQ wings...amazing. Truffle fries. Our server described as like crack. He was right. I was full as could be still picking at them.
I ordered the sushi roll that was on special. It was really good, I just couldn't finish it, because, see above. Boyfriend got the ramen bowl. The sauce on the ramen was delicious.
Our server Marlon was great the entire meal! Very attentive without being annoying and made some excellent recommendations on the menu, for our table and others.
All in all, it was the perfect way to celebrate my birthday! I can't wait to go back!
