Yet another great stop in Charlotte...what is it with this place...who knew they would house so many great places to eat! Anyway - love the feel of this restaurant and the staff. The food is also top notch.
I would highly recommend the blacked brie and chicken tenders as an appetizer. Brie I am always a fan of - but I love the paring - put a little bit (or a lot depending on how much of a cheese lover you are) on the ciabatta toast, then top it off with a slice of apple and then a dollop of the apricot cranberry chutney - delicious! And the chicken tenders....I normally hate chicken tenders, but these were so tender and jam packed with buffalo flavor, I couldn't help myself to reach for another one.
Now when it comes to dinner, I am not going to lie - you are going to have a hard time picking something out since everything on the menu looks so good. I mean it took me almost 30 minutes to decide - I kept on going back and forth on a couple of things - but I am happy to say I made the right choice. I was a bit nervous since it was a little out of the box for me - but when I took my first bite of the Hong Kong Style Chilean Sea Bass - I thought my taste buds were going to explode. So rich, so delicious. The sea bass just melted in my mouth. Oh and the coconut curry rice cakes that they come with are to die for. Again, I was a bit nervous since I don't like curry, but the coconut defiantly balances it out. The only thing I didn't really like were the snow peas - they were a bit too oily for me.
And so since we had such a great experience with both our appetizers and dinner - of course we had to order dessert...or should I say dessertsssss. We had the BlackFinn Hot Chocolate which was very decant, rich, chocolaty, and peanut buttery. But regardless of how good it was, I focused myself on the Season Fruit Crisp. This would have to be by far the best apple crisp I have ever had. These super HUGE crumbs were so packed with flavor. Again, another item that just melted in your mouth. I had to literately stop myself from grabbing the dish to eat the whole thing myself.
If I ever come to Charlotte again, this will be my first stop!
