    Wow! This place exceeded our high expectations. The ambiance was low key and classy. Our waiter Andrew was superb drinks were great. We split lobster cakes I had the Elk chops and wife had the salmon and both were done to perfection. Topped it off with peanut butter dessert that I can’t even describe but will have again. Serious 5 Stars!

    Excellent Valentines Day experience . The special menu had enough choices to have something for everyone, and the food was delicious and service was excellent. The prices were elevated for the Valentine’s Day , which I do understand. Gotta make that money . I get it. Some of the prices did seem excessive though. For example , one small crabcake (maybe 3 oz) was $19. The filet mignon offering looked like a pretty modest cut , maybe (5-6 oz precook). I guess I’m just saying for $100, per person , the food was very good , but I don’t know that I would say a great ‘value’. They definitely marked up for the holiday.

    One of the best pubs in Charlotte. Only gap is the poor music. Some better music, maybe even traditional Irish some nights would make this fantastic spot even better.
