| - I tried to make it to this place when it first opened, but came on a Monday and they weren't open. I wish I wouldn't have waited so long to make it back over there. Everything was outstanding.
Our friendly bartender Shane(who I recognized from Soul) made us all some amazing drinks. The uncle Eddy is a perfect hand crafted cocktail. Waygu fat washed bourbon with a cold smoke on it, quite a beautiful presentation as well. After that I didn't really pay attention to what everybody else was drinking, but I heard no complaints.
On to the food. We ate A LOT of it, lol. One dish that really stood out was the waygu beef tartar with truffle egg. The truffle egg was a little pungent for my taste, as the beef was amazing on its own. The perfect little chips for dipping topped it off nicely. The diver scallops were above and beyond as well. Perfectly cooked. I was hesitant about the bread crumbs, but they worked. The celery root puree was a nice touch.
Everything else we had was superb, I just thought those 2 dishes were noteworthy. The chicken was super juicy, brined, but not overkill on the spices in the brine. The Burrata on the fried green tomato caprese was extremely tasty. The calamari was on point, the pork bun was great and the yellowtail crudo was delicious, too.
One of the better meals I have had in Charlotte in some time. Don't hesitate to ask questions. There are some terms on the menu that may not be relatable, but the staff is quite knowledgeable. Also, some older folks might not like the modern music, but I don't see it being a deal breaker.
I'll be back, again and again.
