Today's lunch gab session with my friend Joe was in one of the most charming and idyllic spaces in Charlotte. It's tucked in a shopping center and almost unnoticeable. Has the feeling of an Italian wine bar, yet the menu is robust enough for a great meal. I had the chicken kabob. It came with mixed veggies and the most delicious rice ever. The rice had dill in it and was a combo that I never would have considered on my own. Loved the jazzy and soft background music and the classy vibe. Oh, there are architectural details here that are so visually interesting for a restaurant. Check out the arches and the side dining spaces. I was shocked that there were not more people here for lunch. We were told that the dinner crowd is much more pronounced. That means I will be inclined to keep coming back for lunch. Definitely TWO THUMBS UP!
