"This shiny new restaurant — chef Jonny Cox’s first solo endeavor as chef and owner — will have Charlotteans driving north to Lake Norman to slurp an oyster or five. It’s a 10-table seafood shack meets grandma’s coastal cottage, featuring an inviting oyster bar and vintage decor unafraid of color, pattern, and personality. On the table, get the plump, grilled octopus and the crispy rock shrimp larb. And then, amidst the sea of sea creatures, is the surprising, somewhat random, lamb pappardelle ragu, which is homey and fresh." - Kayleigh Ruller
