My favorite restaurants
FAV restaurant in Charlotte. The tapas are outstanding! The pork belly tacos are melt-in-your-mouth good, and they also have great sushi.
Get there early bc there is usually a wait. The inside is fun, but if you sit on the outdoor balcony, it overlooks the Charlotte skyline.

Great place for lunch or a casual dinner. Their chicken is incredible on a platter or salad and the stuffed avocados are great. Grab the different sauces at the self-serve station too!
