My husband had the pappardelle with lobster which he did not enjoy at all. Everything tasted like the tomato based sauce it came in. I had the Branzino. Portion size was good for me - small. It was ok but not great. Probably would not order it again though. We had the tiramisu for dessert which was delicious Service was very good and ambiance very nice.

It’s 2 minutes walk to Belk. My friend said the appetizer crepe bundles filled with lobster and something were to die for, my eggplant appetizer and beet salad were more than I could eat. Service was attentive and fun. We’ll go again.

Loved the fact that there were two prices on some of the entrees allowing the diner to have a smaller portion. Ambience was energetic as there was a Broadway play at the theater and concert at the local basketball center.

At 6:50 we were still waiting on our cocktails at which time I decided I no longer wanted my cocktail, and upon informing a staff personnel ( manger ?) he brought out our cocktails. Note: there was no charges for our cocktails. The food was just ok.
