Chill spot away from downtown Charlotte. The relaxing atmosphere lake side is well worth a trip. Service was excellent. Our server, Heather, was exceptional. She answered all our questions and was accommodating to all our requests. Food was great andfresh. Hush puppies and mussels appetizers were delicious. Our Italian beef sandwiches and friend's burger were great as well.The key lime cheesecake was a great end to our early dinner. Prices were a tad bit higher than average but money well spent foratmosphere and great service. If you're a drinker, they have an indoor and outdoor bar available. Highly recommend this placeand will visit again during the fall season. Menu changes with the weather. Hidden gem.

The service was OUTSTANDING! Hannah was very friendly and amazing. The food was incredible. The spicy chicken sandwich has a great zing with delicious flavor. The cauliflower steak was extremely unique and phenomenal; cheese, ground almonds, and anegg. My father has a lot of dietary restrictions and they made a custom salad to accommodate. This will definitely be a go-tospot for us!

A bunch of us visited this great restaurant during a girls' trip weekend. We sat outside and loved the view of the water and boats. Our server was wonderful answering questions, getting it all right, taking group photos, even getting the recipe forthat beautiful drink for me (Daughter Judy try it! . Our food was absolutely delicious. We loved it here!

My friend and I decided to give this spot a try. We arrived around noon on Thursday and were quickly seated in the fully occupied outside. Indoor seating was empty. The server was rather stuffy, borderline rude. When asked if the fried egg over mycauliflower could be cooked over hard , he stating that it 's NOT how THEY like it served. Really?? After checking back with us,we were told that they would TRY THEIR BEST to cook it through. The food came as ordered, the view was lovely, but our serverghosted us. Our waters were empty, wine refill was not offered, and keylime Cheesecake was grossly oversold. Our lunch was $58for 2 cauliflower dishes, one shared piece of cheesecake tart, and one glass of wine, plus $12 tip. Not worth $70 in my book.The burgers and chicken sandwiches that others were having looked much better. We actually left still hungry.

View/location is fabulous, no complaints on service. We went on a rainy Monday so they weren’t busy at all. The hostess was friendly and our server was attentive. On to the food. We split 3 appetizers, crab claws, mussels and wings. Mussels wereexcellent! That said, they give you two slices of bread and literally refuse to give you more even if you want to pay for it.In my life I’ve never been to a restaurant (fancy, middle of the road or otherwise) that had such an absurd policy. The brothis fabulous dipped in bread and you wind up with a whole bowl full and no way to eat it. Considering how expensive this place isthat seems like an incredibly poor customer experience. Our waiter was extremely apologetic, wasn’t his fault. Included apicture of the yummy broth we had to leave wasted on the table for reference. Crab claws were awful, super expensive yetflavorless. Would never recommend or get these again. Smoked wings were very good, meat was a touch dry (Pump House in RockHill does similar wings and theirs are always super juicy), but it was a decent size order and the white sauce that came withthem is delicious. Would order those again for sure.
