Perfect date night spot. Nice cozy ambience--not too loud. They had pistachio cheesecake the night we went and it was incredible. The servers were top-notch and made sure we always had full water glasses and everything we needed. I will say that I think $20 for an appetizer portion of truffle fries seems a bit steep (it was enough for two people or maybe three with smaller appetites) but they were delicious! We will be back.

Drink menu here is plenty and next level! The bartender actually knows how to make a real deal drink. Onto the food: excellent! Had the burrata and tuna. Just go! Im telling you! Intimate place and sophisticated but without pretentiousness. Just quality!

Beautifully designed with low lighting that sets the mood just right—this spot nails ambiance. We lucked out with a perfect evening on the patio, where the vibe was as charming as the staff (who even made sure we parked like pros—no small feat in this area!). Don’t miss the tuna or shrimp—they’re both stars of the menu. Highly recommend!

So glad I decided on this spot for my birthday dinner. We got the Mediterranean salad, burrata, and one of each of the kebaba skewers. They had the timing down excellent among some of the best restaurants I've been to. My partner and I never had to wait long between courses but also were not overly attended to. Overall just a great expet. They were there to please!

We visited here on a busy Friday and got lucky to get seats at the bar. I got a whiskey sour that was awesome. We split two shareables. The Lamb Meatballs and the Short Rib Empanadas. Both were fantastic. Recommend you get reservations on the weekends. I decided to get a second cocktail. My favorite drink is the Martinez. They were spot on making a cocktail few bartenders know.

This place is so amazing in the way they care and inform you on the drinks and the foods while you experience it. They have a great gluten free menu, huge liquor options, and the best customer service I've had in a while. Don't be afraid of how fancy they look, they are still down to earth! Our bartender sam was an absolute

Alejandro and Sam make the best drinks! Just go sit at the bar and chat with them and you’ll have the best time. Definitely get an espresso martini. It’s my favorite in Charlotte!!! But really anything they make is great. The vibe is dark and romantic, perfect for a girls night or a date night.

First off, service was great! My bartender Brandon was super friendly, all the guys overall truly gave my friend and I a nice experience. The food was tasty, my favorite was the shrimp buzara! Lastly, the ambiance was so calming but also had a fun vibe to it, perfect Saturday night spot. The music was good as well, I definitely see myself becoming a regular!
