Serving wonderful seasonal dishes with French and Italian influence, this restaurant is unique in many ways. Stop in for dinner once the sun has set and enjoy candle light in a historic landmark home (the Lucas Home) in a charming and elegant neighborhood. Perfect for those who don’t want to battle nightlife traffic in the busy uptown area, the Elizabeth neighborhood is a bit more calm, romantic, and there is even a park perfect for taking a walk together across the road from the restaurant! Enjoy amazing and unique dishes, priced in the $30 range, like Ostrich, Trout, Halibut, or anything else you and your sweetheart may be craving.

What makes this spot in uptown Charlotte so romantic is a number of things: first of all, the pretty atmosphere with lit trees, lush greenery, soothing colors, pretty artwork, and a comfortable surrounding of wooden beams and French paned glass walls. It’s located on the second floor of a turn-of-the-century textile warehouse in the heart of the South End historic area, and is also located right on the light rail stop. Plus, enjoy International cuisine with lots of fresh seafood, chicken, beef, pork, and more (including lots of vegetarian selections), along with French and California wines. Plus, it’s combined with a nightclub next door so once you’ve eaten your dinner, feel free to skip on over next door to the Tutto Mondo nightclub for some drinks and more conversation – the perfect night out together!
