    Chef Loo personally greeted my family to ensure a wonderful experience. From the friendly, genuine greetings, to the 360 views of the Charlotte skyline, to to one of the best cocktails I’ve ever had and a meal that was divine, we were spoiled with this exceptional experience. Thank you, Chef Loo! It was incredible! From (future Chef) Joel (with an L at the end) and family!

    We when here before seeing a show at Belk Theater. We both had the roasted chicken and it was really good. We also had the succotash and grids (the sides are à la carte), they are a nice size for a couple to share. Everything was really good and it was nice that we did not have to go back outside to get to the show

    I’ve been to Indaco before but this last experience blew me away. I went to celebrate my birthday. They had a few personalized touches, a celebratory menu with confetti, a small gift for me, and ice cream dessert on the house! The food was incredible, as usual! The burrata in particular was amazing! I’m pregnant so I wasn’t drinking, but my girlfriends mentioned the drinks were excellent as well. I’ve had plenty of birthday dinners at lots of restaurants but this was definitely one of the best!
