    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!

    I’ve been to a CD location in Tempe many times, but first time visiting this location in CLT. The service from Josh was wonderful and the food was just as good as my visits in Tempe. Parking validation is a nice plus for the area too.

    I wish it was informed by the restaurant staff ahead that preferred quite time schedules are post 9:00pm. We came in at 7:00 pm on Wednesday and the all the tables were full with clients which is great for the business but it was pretty noisy. It was so noisy that Chinese Buffet noise level was much elegantly elevated compared to what I experienced at Fahrenheit that night. People come here to have a romantic date/anniversary and high level meetings. Unfortunately I couldn’t feel such elegancy vibe during our visit due to the high noise level by the other tables around. Maybe having a classical music in background can help to let people know to calm it down bit
