Best Solo Dining in Charlotte, North Carolina | Eater Carolinas

"Just opened in the soaring space beside the Mint Museum, the feel of this space is luxe, with deep chairs at the bar and dramatic black-and-white decor right down to the plates. The menu is Spanish/Mediterranean (focaccia, mezzes, and kabobs), but it’s not too stuffy, with playful touches like elote-inspired street corn fritters and the Fish Camp (a fried-fish nod to Southern fish camps). Burnt Basque cheesecake with passionfruit curd is indulgent, but for an eye-popping dessert, go for the Mysterious Mushroom, a bright red fairy-tale creation crafted from fruit gels, mousse, and pistachio cake." - Kathleen Purvis
