text: Heard of this place plenty of times did not really know what to expect Since we are trying to avoid mad traffic in the Dilworth area due to Greek Festival my friend and I headed to Piedmont Row for brunch instead Granted I did not have expectations I guess I am just one of those people who are not easily impressed nnDecoratmosphere simple cafelike bright and appealing causal dressy if that is such a thing nice high ceiling showcasing the upper level seating feel bad for food runners who have to climb those stairs nnMenu extensive breakfastlunch options maybe a little too extensive because it was hard to make a decision Most items are low to mid s during breakfastbrunchlunch timennFood I am a soup freak cannot pass on a blue crab bisque It was creamy lumps of yummy fresh crab meat and OMG salty That is an achievement of its kind for me to think something is high sodium maybe not a good kind of achievement Finished it still but really could have held back the salt I ordered the Fried Oysters Spinach Salad the thing is HUGE I swear there is a pound of spinach in that bowl Tons of oysters Impressive looking But unfortunately they went too heavy handed on the vinaigrette The menu said hot bacon vinaigrette As much as you and I know it is easy to taste bacon Somehow they managed to cover up all things bacon caramelized onions sauteed mushrooms the main reasons I ordered the salad besides the oysters The oysters did not disappoint but not enough to save the dish For it is a big portion but I cannot say the taste justify for itnnServiceOk Little slow on the water refill Coffee was amazing though Reminded me of Italy nnIn conclusion I was little disappointed by the food I know they are known for their red velvet waffle but I should be able to order something else that is not sweet and still be yummy The menu is a little pricey for cafe especially for dinner Another good looking place in Charlotte that did not deliver in the food department
