text: Peculiar indeednnI have watched this place with great anticipation for months wondering what when and how last night saw that they might be open called to confirm and stopped in after dinner elsewhere nnMy observations echo many of the preliminary impressions Considering the size of the exterior I had an assumption of what the interior might be Unfortunately you know that old cliche about assumptionsnnWe walked up to the door and there were people chatting sort of said hi were they customers employees door people friendly loiterers not surennA few steps in get to the hostess stand girls behind podium no recognition as they decipher seating charts like they were cryptic treasure maps The downstairs was ish full but were told there was a long wait on all floors hmmmmnnWe decided to check out the space from the outside I expected a spacious inside I was wrong Very choppy small staircases that serve both customers and waitstaff carrying food drink and low feeling ceilingsnnOn the second floor there were many many open tables I asked if I could grab one and was told I had to go back downstairs hmmm we continued the journey up the tight stairs to the rooftop deck Shauna is exactly correct the deck is DARK it feels like they are going for a Miami Lounge feel if so it does not work it is also much smaller than it appears We looked around and noticed no bar hmmm a group after us said out loud what no bar nnWe head downstairs and I notice a backroom with a sign that says Snooker think to myself cool Snooker in Charlotte maybe some redemption for this place walk in the room and WTF pops in my head as I flash back to being years old Bumper Pool maybe fun but it is Not Snooker nnAs we walk out there is a guy at the door who smiles and says thanks while drinking red bull We head over to WW nnIn Summarynthe menu looks good but not surenvery disfunctional designninexperienced and untrained staffnnI will watch the reviews and give them several months before I go back
