ehh! If I had to sum up my review in one phrase I'd say that the fanciness of the venue is offset by the mediocre food & service, and less than average drinks. I was here with a couple friends one Saturday night, and the place was packed. Loud and lively, it's a great spot for a big group on a weekend. We started off with some drinks, and while I can't remember what everyone at our table ordered, I do remember that no one loved their cocktail. I'd recommend sticking with sake, beer or wine! The food presentation was lovely... nothing out of the ordinary though - flavor wise. The service was slow that evening, but in general the staff seemed very nice and courteous. There are a handful of comparable spots in Charlotte.
