This place is relatively new. I have to admit, I had a bad experience here - October 2008. The location is great, nice older house where various places (e.g. Ethan's) previously occupied. Our martini's were good, but that's the end of it. Food made an attempt to be creative and upscale, but it was poorly executed. I might have ordered poorly, but my girlfriend had a similarly bad meal. We skipped out on having dessert and headed straight to Ben & Jerry's. Food was poor enough that I don't see me going back despite the other positive reviews this place has received. There are better places in the same general area of Charlotte for the same price range (Fig Tree, Capre Diem, LuLu's to name a few).
