Overpriced and overhyped for lack luster mediocre and poor service.
I've been to Copper on two occasions. Having lived in major cities in the US, I'm still trying to to adjust to the consistently higher ratings for sub-par places in Charlotte. It seems to take very little from a Charlotte restaurant to get 5/5 star ratings...but I digress. Copper is undoubtedly a perfect example.
Service matters. Our server was no where to be found most of our meal on an uncrowded night. Our wine glasses were empty for quite a long time prior to food arriving...we tracked him down...but barely got him to stop for a moment and ask for another glass. He returned, left the full glasses, and didn't touch the empty ones. I picked them up myself and put the empty glasses on the bar. He also had unmeaningful answers when we asked for recommendations off the menu when ordering.
Food was flavorless and under seasoned, which I didn't now was possible with indian. Naan, rice, and both entries were unexciting...and the meat overcooked and dry. The server didn't bother to ask how the meal was or check in. He knew the service and food was poor that night.
For $90, it was not money well spent. For a $45 meal in a "fast-food-pace" in and out indian place, it would have been fine.
