Eddie freaking V. Pleased to make your acquaintance. I had seen my Houston buddies take many a Snapchat video of crab fried rice and other mouth watering entrees available here. When I saw the Charlotte Agenda article on restaurants soon to open locally, I was giddy with excitement. I vowed months ago, I would be here on opening night.
Actually, I made it in the day after, but it surpassed my expectations. Our server, Daniel (or David, sorry it was Cinco de Mayo, so I arrived with Patron margaritas flowing in my veins) was on point all evening. Patient, helpful, funny....I can't compliment him enough. We had mac & Cheese, lobster bisque (poured table side!), crab fried rice, lobster tacos, crab cakes, and dessert. The only item I would pass on was the crab cakes and that's only because I prefer it without the breading. But we ate every single bite, so if that doesn't bother you, Order away. The lobster bisque and crab fried rice will be something I will always order on subsequent trips.
The decor is perfect for the area. It's dark and swanky, but still well lit enough to see around. Any date you bring here will be impressed, I know I certainly was.
