Food was great. Server made my group feel pushed out in the sense that we needed to vacate our table. One of our guests meals didn't come out until some of our group had already paid for their meals. Recommend improved training for servers responsible for tables consisting of more than 6 guests. Makes for a poor experience. Cost of food is expensive here. The service should match the level of cost that the patron is paying for the experience.

This restaurant continues to be one of my favorites in Charlotte even though there are so many locations throughout the city. But, it is always a great place to dine. The food is always delicious and the people who care about you are genuinely interested in your experience.
