12 Solid Spots for Outdoor Dining and Drinking in Charlotte
"This upscale Mediterranean restaurant is a new player in the Rare Roots Hospitality lineup. Start strong with a hazelnut prosciutto carpaccio and the pillowy celery puree paired with the baby octopus. Order an extra small plate or two because the tapas can be lean. The cocktail game here is no joke, and the spritzes experiment beyond Aperol, with a lemon zest Dolin Blanc and a strawberry Montenegro spritz. Despite the somewhat puzzling location next to the Sycamore Brewery, Charlotteans aren’t deterred. The outdoor patio, placed conveniently along the light rail, doesn’t feel like an afterthought; the blue couches, ceiling heat lamps, and misters keep a ritzy vibe (although the view is standard)." - Kayleigh Ruller
