text: So when a friend suggested this place, I thought, \"Cool.  Another restaurant to try. Glad Charlotte has stepped it up for the foodies.\"  Except...they didn't. \n\nThe service (by Nathan) was great and attentive, but the food was forgettable at best, and embarrassing at worst.  We ordered a salad with chicken which was good, and the she-crab soup, which was actually very nice, but everything else needed serious improvement.  \n \nAmong the five of us, four of us had to add a significant amount of salt and pepper to our food.  The fish was overcooked, the risotto under-seasoned and looked as though it was being \"vomited\" out of the squash \"bowl\" in which it was served.  As for the shrimp and grits, the grits were sticky and bland, and the sausage was flavorless, gritty, and drowning in an oily gravy.  For a price tag of 20 bucks, there should have been more than five shrimp included. \n\nThe only save of the evening was the ass-kicking piano player, who worked through a repertoire of big band classics, pop tunes, and a Super Mario Brothers medley that was spot on.\n\nBottom line?  Go for the drinks and the music, but skip the food!
