We had an amazing time at the Stonecrest location. Love the decor and new redesign. Food was outstanding and I appreciate that they have taken the time to develop a thoughtful second menu with delectable gluten-free and vegan options. Probably the best in Charlotte. The staff was attentive and the service was great. This is now our new favorite.

Staff was great. Truly great. The rooms are a little loud when multiple tables are set. The outside area looked very nice. The appetizers and salads were extremely good. We ordered the shrimp and grits and the burger with fries. The shrimp and grits were OK at best. We only ate half of the burgers. The fries were on point.
