Counter-

The 24 Best Restaurants In Charlotte - Charlotte - The Infatuation

"Counter puts together constantly changing 10- and 14-course tasting menus that are fully immersive experiences, and they're guaranteed to be a highlight of your year. Each meal is themed, and each course is served with a corresponding playlist—some recent dinner themes were Prince and Night at the Symphony. There are only 16 spots, with seats at a U-shaped counter around the kitchen. You’ll definitely need a reservation (they fill up fast), but it’s worth it to fight for one: the food and service are always excellent, and this place is unlike anything else in Charlotte." - tess allen, g clay whittaker
