When my husband and I lived in Cornelius we used to be frequent flyers here. Food was always great, service was on par, atmosphere is clean and modern. I will note a slight decline in quality since Bobby (former head chef who was amazing) left. There were however some slight improvements to the menu when new management took over. There was a great shake up with the cocktail menu and there was a healthy rotation of local craft beers.

Since we were back in Charlotte for a quick visit, we had to stop in on our old favorite place. We got the usual friendly greeting and seated promptly. Our waitress was Katie. She didn t seem very happy. She took our orders. Everything came out in a timely fashion. My sweet tea was turned into a unsweetened tea as I got my refills. I didn t complain. Katie seemed to be having a bad night already and I didn t want to bother her with something simple. Our food was on point though. We got the pork belly steam buns (which were super delicious), the bento box and the impersonator roll (not on the menu). Everything was delicious, and no complaints. Just so much food we couldn t finish it all. Just as good as we remembered! So happy we came back! We will come again if we get the chance.

The reason I m giving 4 rather than 5 stars is for Katie s poor attitude. You shouldn t let your bad day affect the customer service you give. We pay good money for good food AND service. She really must have had something going on because it wasn t even busy at the time we came (1630) and the manager had to bring our our food. The guy isn t a server so of course he forgot our soy sauce dishes which I had to ask for. Also, I was very disappointed to see that the local craft beer rotation stopped. It was exactly the same as was it was last year when we last visited.
