We lives near Blakeney so the area is like a magnet for us. We were on the west coast for two tears before coming back to Charlotte. Our first stop eating out was Encore and it was as good as we remembered. They need a better beer selection but the menu is varied and has good kids choices. Great family restaurant or good for 2 couples looking for casual night out. The bar is great if you havevto wait. I remember the wait two years ago being much longer but maybe it's the economy.
