text: This is a place that has earned my business for a long time to come after just one visit I will be back next time I pass through Charlotte Two friends had recommended this place for a business dinner and it did not disappointnnI brought a potential client here for a laid back quiet dinner where we could talk and enjoy ourselves and it did not disappoint The staff was very patient while we waited for our guest to arrivennWe started with the New Orleans bbq shrimp which were expertly prepared in a not too sweet but slightly spicy sauce My party devoured this dish and raved about it I then had a bowl of gumbo which came with my meal I ordered it sans rice and again an award winning dish Spicy and loaded with seafood veggies and sausage I could have eaten an entire bowl of this for my meal alone Next was the blackened oz NY strip steak Simply stated this was HEAVEN By far the best NY strip I have had in years Perfectly seasoned cooked and very very tender I would eat this meal a million times overnnNow to the staff Very attentive and paitent and they gave us plenty of time to talk and relax over coffee at the end of the night We talked so long they restaurant had closed and the staff had begun their cleanup duties yet never once asked for us to leave not even subtle hints like raising the lights They let us just sit and talk and talk and talknnThe dress in my opinion varies We were in jeans and button downs while some others had sport coats on A really good vibe and I would feel just as comfortable dressed either way You will not be disappointed if you spend a nice evening here for your next meal
