Best food near me in Concord, NC

I happened to be in the Concord area and remembered seeing some social media posts last year about a new lounge, so I decided to give it a try. After checking out reviews across various platforms, I wasn’t quite sure what to expect—but I’m glad I went. The exterior gave off a welcoming lounge vibe, and we were checked in quickly thanks to our OpenTable reservation. The atmosphere was just as advertised—stylish and inviting, with impressive decor. As some reviews mentioned, the music was a bit loud. If you’re looking to have a conversation, consider sitting side-by-side on the couch seating instead of across a table. Still, don’t let that deter you—this is a lounge first, and it delivers on that promise. The food was surprisingly good for a lounge. While it’s not five-star dining, it was flavorful, well-presented, and reasonably priced. The menu is limited, but that’s typical for a lounge and makes sense for maintaining kitchen efficiency. There were still solid options to accommodate most diets. We started with the shrimp egg rolls, which were delicious and definitely worth ordering again. We also tried the chicken wings and the Creole salmon. I didn’t have the wings, but my wife thought they were decent—nothing extraordinary, but not bad either. The salmon came with green beans and rice and was seasoned well, though it was cooked well-done. I wasn’t asked about my preferred temperature, but considering this is more of a lounge than a seafood spot, I wasn’t surprised. It may have been cooked from frozen, which would explain the doneness. Service was smooth and friendly, and the cocktails were well-crafted with thoughtful flavors. I’ve seen some comments about long wait times, but we didn’t experience that—and neither did the tables around us. That said, it was getting busy as we were leaving, so I can see how it might get backed up during peak hours. Overall, it was a great experience, and I’ll definitely be back to try more from the menu.

We've been to the restaurant several times,and it's always wonderful.
