About the restaurant

We start with cage free, free roaming, all natural chicken. It’s brined, dredged, then dropped into custom-built fryers. Its got a little kick and is served with our house made hot honey.

Delicious home-styled cooking with a family kitchen feel. We totally enjoyed ourselves. From the service to the meal, we were well taken care of! I know the amazing Chicken is the feature here and it should be! However, I also want to shout out the Kale salad! It was crazy good! The Eagle would be great for solo dining, a meal with friends, or catching a game and a meal in the bar. Great times!

About the restaurant

Inspired by the wood-fired Robata grills of Japan, Mizu offers a refreshed take on live-fire cooking atop the Hyatt Centric in the heart of Charlotte’s SouthPark neighborhood. Opened in August of 2021 and named one of 2022's "25 Best New Restaurants" and "50 Best Restaurants" by Charlotte Magazine, the rooftop restaurant by Indigo Road Hospitality Group (IRHG) combines the traditions of ancient Japanese cooking with Southern influences and Asian flavors. The kitchen, anchored by Mizu’s own Robata grill, features a seafood-focused menu composed of wood-fired, raw, and chilled offerings.

The beverage program focuses on bright, easy-drinking libations using Japanese spirits and seasonal ingredients, complementing the cuisine and atmosphere. With a chic, minimalist design with natural elements throughout, the restaurant, named for the Japanese word for water, offers sweeping rooftop views from the patio, as well as sophisticated interiors and comfortable lounge and bar seating.

Mizu is a must visit place. The menu is unique and you can taste the quality ingredients. Our server Resy was patient & kind. There is valet which takes away any parking stress. Most surprisingly it is not super overpriced! I love it here🥰

We dined there on December 16th for my husband’s birthday and Carly was our server. She helped us choose all the best dishes and we thoroughly enjoyed our dinner. She even brought out a birthday dessert, and her exceptional attentiveness and service was the cherry on top. Thank you Hestia rooftop and Carly for an amazing experience!

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
