Best restaurant in the Lake Norman area, if not the entire Charlotte metro. Amazing cocktails, dynamite dishes, and an all-around great atmosphere. They serve small plate style, and the plate sizes are good to share for a couple of people. The fried oysters were my favorite dish--a must try while there. The cocktails were the highlight--all were amazing and worth …

Oh the Oysters! The Duck Frits! The rolls and butter! The not so small pistachio salad. Really interesting, tasteful meals, exceptional, friendly staff in a classy environment with great music. Really great place to go for that special meal. Loved it.

Wow amazing experience. So my love and I travel for work 2 to 3 times weekly and we love to try new restaurant around the country. This place sets the standard. The food, service and ambiance was fantastic. The milk bread was to die for. We had the Brassiacas appetizer, tagliatelle and the smoked duck gumbo. To finish it up …
