Be prepared to not only eat a unique meal but also to pack in hundreds of calories, perhaps pushing past a thousand! Located in the little hipster nabe Noda (dumb NY wannabe real estate names that stick...sigh), which, despite its name IS cool, especially for the CLT. \n\nMy party and I started with the pesto fries, which I'm less sure were \"pesto\" proper than the ingredients of pesto infused into the fries. A delicious, greasy snack. We also had the brussel sprouts which were fantastic. Less great was the shrimp something in a cup and a loaf of baked bread. Wasn't quite sure what was supposed to go on there. Shrimp something on the bread? It was okay, just unclear what I was eating (and probably partly my fault as I didn't order it!)\n\nWith my meal, which was the burger, which was fine and straight down the middle of the plate, I had a Scottish IPA, which was very good.\n\nOverall, the service here was kind, friendly, and good. Not \"hipster\" service at all (which would be aloof and too cool and annoyed that I have to even work here at all to supplement the support of my self-indulgent hobbies-ZING!)."^^ . "0"^^ .
