"After over three years in the making, Leluia Hall has finally opened its doors. Jamie Brown and Jeff Tonidandel have given Charlotte a classy, coastal steak-and-surf restaurant. Each design detail — mostly grand and curved Art Nouveau style — reflects a rich history of this historic building, a church that dates back to 1914. Don’t miss the raw bar and the lobster mousse fish sticks from the sea side of the menu. On the steak side, have fun with the toppers, from au poivre to nduja butter. Then, for the final act, get chef Savannah Foltz’s Basque cheesecake." - Kayleigh Ruller
