We stopped here for lunch around 1pm on a Monday afternoon. We were traveling and had our dog with us and were quickly seated on the patio. Our table was set with plates but it was dirty with food and oil spots from the previous diners, it was very noticeable. The host removed 2 plates and walked away saying nothing. When we told our server he instead of wiping it immediately he left and sent someone else out a couple minutes later to wipe it. We ordered 2 virgin drinks from the bar (since we are driving back to Wrightsville beach that day) they took a little while to come but were absolutely delicious. Our server was personable and mentioned they had been working there for 7 years so we asked a few questions and zeroed in on 3 appetizers. Stuffed mushrooms- which were eh. They were very small, maybe the size of nickels. The stuffing was not even on top of a few mushrooms and the sauce tasted nothing like a wine sauce. The 2nd app was the pot stickers. Again eh, they were oddly barely warm maybe because it took these a decent while to come. The sauce underneath was decent but something just was off with it. They tasted like frozen potstickers. A disappointing recommendation from the server. The fried mac and cheese was good, nice and hot. All the food was brought out by food runners. Our server finally returned and we ordered entrees and I ordered a second drink from the bar. Our server took the last of our app plates and asked us if our mushrooms came out yet, told them they had. This was odd to me because we had been here from quite sometime now, if he was not sure if we got them, he should of been concerned by then. The drink took a solid 20 minutes to arrive. I assumed they must of been slammed but when I went inside to the restroom they were not very busy at all. We were completely out of water and my dog had not been offered any. Now, I understand Charlotte is probably not as big of a dog community as Wrightsville Beach, the dogs on the patio get water as soon as the guest at the table to here. We had been there an hour already, we did ask and he did bring water though. Our entrees… they took over 45 minutes to come to the table. Our server never checked back with in those 45 minutes. My son got the orange chicken, his eh again but worse.. it was cold and the rice had started to for a crunchy layer on top. So disappointing. My Louisiana cajan pasta was hot, clearly his dish had just been sitting waiting on mine. It said Parmesan entrusted but it was more so deep fried and tasted nothing of Parmesan, the pepper and mushrooms were almost non existent in the pasta. The food reminded me or frozen meals. This would be a dish I would of expected to be offer cheese shredded the table. I do not know if they do this here but our server never offered when bringing the dishes and never checked back. We asked for boxes and barely touched our food. My birthday is tomorrow so we order a slice of cheese cake for birthday. This came quickly and with a candle then was placed in front of my adult son. Our server cared so little about our table he couldn’t of even been bothered to ask whose birthday. We got our bill it was $129.00 which was expected and typical for us where we dine in Wilmington but our typical meals are way better than what we experienced here. I paid with 2 100$ bills and out server brought change in for of 20s and 10s. No smaller bills forcing me to either over tip or under tip. I left $30 bc you never know what kind of day someone is having. This was a very poor experience. We threw away the leftovers which we barely ate at the table. No we did not complain when we were there, I actually never once saw a manager walked around “touching tables” as they call it. I wish I would of checked the recent reviews before, we would of picked a different lunch spot. It took 2 1/2 hours to have lunch, including getting to our car in the parking deck. Again, our server was personable and seemed like COULD of been a great server but clearly unbothered and complacent.
