I'm hoping and guessing that some of the kinks we experienced last night will be worked out by the time they \"really\" open.  First of all, people were very friendly and it has one of the best patios in Charlotte (gorgeous view!).  We had called ahead to reserve a table on the patio to enjoy dinner and drinks.  \n\nThe good:  3 dining areas (first, second floor, and patio) with different ambiances (more formal, casual, and outdoors).  The food was all very good.  Everyone in my party enjoyed their meal.  I tried the bean salad, veggie burger, and fish and chips...all were delicious and tasted fresh.  \n\nThe not so good:  As soon as the sun set, the table was too dark to read our menu or see our food.  There was a serious lack of lighting on the patio.  Service took a very long time...the waitress would sometimes just leave in the middle of taking our order to address the needs of another table.  Bread came out with our food, about an hour and half after we sat down.  It just sort of sucked because we were celebrating a birthday and wanted it to be special for her.  Instead we got sloppy service.  \n\nOverall, food was really good and I liked the atmosphere on the patio.  But service was so slow and sporadic.  The manager was really great about addressing our concerns, so I have faith that I'll be able to update this with some extra stars soon.
