This is a new and hip place in Uptown right on the corner of Trade and Tryon St next to the giant gold wheel sculpture is (aka the Grand Disk).
FOOD
The menu is mostly Mediterranean cuisine served as small plates and they definitely where on the smaller side for the price paid. I had the calamari and margherita flat bread. She had one of the salads and she asked for chicken to be added on top. The food was decent- she liked her salad, but my calamari and flatbread was just ok. We shared the baked Alaska dessert (see picture) which looked cool and tasted decent, but for $9 should have been twice the size it was. A traditional basked Alaska where they do a flambe at the table, but NC laws restrict that so no fire show at your seat!
ATMOSPHERE
It's a cool atmosphere inside and they have a nice patio. We were there on a Thursday night and they had a decent crowd, but it was way too hot to side outside. The inside isn't huge, but you want a booth by a window. We were seated at the long banquette where they are all tables for 2 in the bar section. It was ok, but now knowing the layout, my preference would be a booth with window. It's a great place for a date or girl's night.
SERVICE
Our server was Enrique and he was excellent. My friend was 15 minutes late and he was very nice and we never felt rushed.
