Went during Savor Charlotte and ordered from that menu. We were lucky enough to have Sy as our server, very knowledgeable and attentive without being intrusive. Chicken Kaagage (sp?) appetizer was good and quite large. It’s little fried chicken nuggets with a sriracha aioli on a bed of cabbage. We shared it and still brought 1/2 home. Moroccan meat balls were tasty, especially the whipped feta spread. We ordered the meatloaf and fried chicken for main. Meatloaf is also a huge portion, a little densely packed, spicier than expected. Mashed potatoes were fair, roast carrots meh. Fried chicken is a 1/2 bird, fried nice and crispy while still juicy. Cornbread was cake-y, quick pickled cuke slices very tasty. Desserts were a flourless chocolate cake covered in delicious ganache and a light lemon cake with creamy filling. Both amazing and both gluten free! We were seated in the top floor seating area —very very loud, like the server has a hard time hearing diners. Had to repeat many times to my husband sitting right across the table. Main level is even louder. Plus where we were sitting, I was right below a vent blowing chilly air, so I was pretty cold until food arrived and warmed me up. It was a 70 degree day, so I hadn’t brought a sweater/jacket.

We had the fried chicken and added a side of green beans. It was all delicious, and it’s a lot of food!

Menu is decent, food quality was very good,, but not the place to go if you’re looking for a quiet dinner. This is a loud energetic restaurant. Great for a group or before a sporting event, poor choice for a date or someone looking for a quiet dinner.

Really good food, our server was awesome. Cool decor. Tables a little awkward, cramming a lot of 2-tops next to each other tightly.

We were a party of 8 on 2 checks. Waitstaff was very attentive. Fun, trendy, upbeat ambiance on a Friday evening. But it was a little loud to be able to talk. The table had crab cakes, salmon, poke and steak which were all tasty. Oysters were also tasty. My only complaint was that the Brussels sprouts were “wet” rather than crispy. Overall a great experience!

Brunch was very goof. Chicken sandwich was gig, didn't try the sauce on it, but With the honey it went to the next level. Potatoes were seasoned really good.
