About this restaurant

Good for special occasions
Great for creative cocktails
Romantic

Inspired by the wood-fired Robata grills of Japan, Mizu offers a refreshed take on live-fire cooking atop the Hyatt Centric in the heart of Charlotte’s SouthPark neighborhood. Opened in August of 2021 and named one of 2022's "25 Best New Restaurants" and "50 Best Restaurants" by Charlotte Magazine, the rooftop restaurant by Indigo Road Hospitality Group (IRHG) combines the traditions of ancient Japanese cooking with Southern influences and Asian flavors. The kitchen, anchored by Mizu’s own Robata grill, features a seafood-focused menu composed of wood-fired, raw, and chilled offerings.

The beverage program focuses on bright, easy-drinking libations using Japanese spirits and seasonal ingredients, complementing the cuisine and atmosphere. With a chic, minimalist design with natural elements throughout, the restaurant, named for the Japanese word for water, offers sweeping rooftop views from the patio, as well as sophisticated interiors and comfortable lounge and bar seating.

Had our friendiversary dinner there, with Jason as our server. Jason was absolutely amazing and informed when it came to the menu. The food was to die for, best sushi I’ve had in CLT by far. We will definitely be back for Jason and Emma who also made our experience amazing.

Hreat food snd service. The only snafu was that i had a gift card that didn’t work because the person issuing it didn’t activate it after it was paid for. I had to personally pay. Now the person who gifted me has to deal with the restaurant fir reimbursement. They ideally should have taken the card, discounted to meal, and dealt with their mistake. I didn’t want you to raise a fuss

Mizu was not a good experience. The food was very mediocre and my friend had a gluten allergy that they were not mindful of at all. They served her a role covered in gluten and sauce with gluten in it. I wouldn’t recommend and I wouldn’t go back.

We all got the chef’s experience last night and were disappointed I’ve tried that in the past and it was amazing but it wasn’t up to the mark yesterday Service was very poor and our portion was too small too Hopefully it’ll get better next time
