The food to the interior design was a complete train wreck. Everyone has been talking about this place for months so I figured I would try it out. We ordered appetizers, I couldn't even get them down without a drink they were so dry. There was no music in the bar at all. The bar was completely full and no one was talking.
For the interior design! The light level was so bright; I felt I was sitting in a gymnasium having a drink. Some of the lights were green fluorescent, some were red incandescent (and not low voltage) they were screw in floodlights! Everything was lit, or backlit, or down lit, give me a break.
The detailing of every corner was horrible. Plastic, aluminum, fake stone, real wood, laminate, tile, more tile, tile running a different direction, leather, alligator skin, bamboo...on and on. This place is probably 2,000 sf. Some architect pulled out the a detail cataloge and sat in front of a computer for 900 more hours than they needed to. It was the most disgraceful design I have ever seen. What can people possible see in this place?
It's the Britney Spears of Restaurants in Charlotte, everyone is talking about it, but it is a fake flop.
