| - Wow! What a HUGE disappointment. I'm not sure who owns/manages this place but they could use some basic training. This place occupies a beautiful spot on Lake Norman and they have a nice covered patio with a gorgeous lake view. We were trying this place for the first time and were looking forward to sitting outside. Common sense would dictate that there would be heaters out there so that even in November, people could dine outside. Talk about a missed opportunity. Ok, so we couldn't sit out on the patio; too cold and who wants to eat dinner bundled up in winter coats. The lake view is totally being wasted here. Next, we were greeted by a nice but totally inexperienced server. I'd read something about white sangria there being great, which I asked her about and I got a blank stare and she said, oh yah I think we do have that but I'm not sure what it's called." Huh? Ok so no white sangria? We ordered the baked brie appetizer, which was good but was served with crackers that undoubtedly came from a box. This is supposed to be a nice restaurant. I ordered a wedge salad that was served with hardly any dressing. We had to ask for silverware twice, we had to ask for salt and pepper. It was my husband's birthday, which I mentioned when we came in (hoping for a nice table). I asked about the desserts and our server told us about three different things. I'd read about the coconut cake, which is my husband's favorite, and when the server did not mention it, I said, oh, no coconut cake? She said, oh yah, and coconut cake. My hubs and I smiled at each other and said to her, "great, that's our favorite." So, after we finished dinner, the server came over and said, "I hear that it's someone's. Birthday" and she sat a piece of some kind of chocolate cake thing in front of my husband. This would have been appreciated (even though we wanted to try the coconut cake, as we had indicated a few minutes earlier), but the cake was hard, and tasted like it had been sitting in the refrigerator too long. The whole experience was odd. Zero attention to detail. We wont be back and I wont recommend this place to anyone and it's unfortunate because there is so much potential there.
PS: bathroom was filthy
