Deep in a mostly industrial zone and around the corner from some opaque shrubbery, you'll find five…read moreEV charging stations totaling ten plugs in the parking lot of a local business, Celgard (they make something to do with batteries?). I saw no signage indicating that it is private property and the spaces appear to be open for public use. These are "Clipper Creek" charging stations and they have the usual J1772 7.2 kW connectors that are in common use. The lot is about 2 miles from I-77 at Carowinds Blvd. It is in the middle of the parking lot so there is no shade. The only thing I spotted nearby to keep you occupied while your electrons refill is the Lucky Dog Bark & Brew Steele Creek https://www.yelp.com/biz/lucky-dog-bark-and-brew-steele-creek-charlotte-2?uid=hWDybu_KvYLSdEFzGrniTw that has beer and cocktails and a rotating food truck schedule.

It's been 9 year, NINE years since my last review so time for a re-fresh…read more It was a special occasion as Michelle got a job offer! We had a reservation for 5p on a Sunday. It was a bit chilly so we sat inside even though the outside patio was heated. It was a good choice because it was a little breezy. We shared the okra as an appetizer, it was as good as I remembered! They had a special which we both decided was good, surf & turf with NY strip and lobster tail. I also brought a bottle of Freixnet Cordon Negra which was so good! We were a bit disappointed that the steak we ordered as medium rare, came out rare on both our entrees. Overall it was a memorable evening and just what I had hoped for a special occasion!

Came here for a graduation dinner and overall it was good. Early dinner time (4:45pm) and it…read morewasn't busy. We had a few issues though - I sampled two beers and never got to order a drink. Waitress just didn't follow up. My water sat unrefilled for a long time. Fried okra didn't taste like okra - but that suited a few of the party. But a few of us expected okra flavor only to be disappointed. Temp on the fried green tomatoes should have been warmer but overall it was very tasty. Our appetizer empty plates sat for a while - we even stacked them so it was clear they should be cleared. Ordered the salmon, which was good, but so did my mom. We ordered different temps and they couldn't tell which was which. Wife ordered a salad and for the price, there was barely anything there. Mac and cheese is still the star. Oysters were decent - I expected larger. The half chicken was a generous portion - nice crispy outside but a bit dry inside. I wouldn't order it (I almost did, but my one of our party did). One of our party ordered a stuffed leeks and it was so salty it was inedible. They did fix it and admitted it should have never left the kitchen. By the time the replacement came out it was after 6:05 (and they had to leave at 6:15). So they didn't get to eat their celebratory meal with the rest of us. Not the memory you want for a meal. Desserts were good. Tort was dense - honestly not sure if that's normal. Crème brûlée was very good. For a $400+ experience and our history with Pump House, I expected more.

This property is unsafe and simply awful…read more There was no warning that half of the of the 2nd floor would be closed for construction. Yet, I was placed in a room right beside the image below, where transient workers came and went all day. There are no security checks, anyone can enter the hotel and take the elevator to any floor, and no one answers the front desk phone. After endless ringing, I went downstairs at 11pm to find a sign stating "We are temporarily away from the front desk and will return shortly." It's 12:03am and no one has returned. I suppose Marriott's definition of "shortly" is relative.

We love the Roti with the curry sauce as well. The service is excellent! The ambience is lively! A bonus, they have a rooftop bar!

Went late yesterday afternoon for an early dinner and had an interesting experience. It's a…read morebeautiful venue, very classy, very open and inviting. Our server Abby R was friendly and knowledgeable about the menu. We ordered a trio of appetizers for the table: Szechuan dumplings, wonton chips with crab Rangoon dip, and KFC (Korean fried chicken). The wings were as good as expected, great flavor, piping hot and crunchy. The real surprise was the wonton and Rangoon dip combination. Just a stellar idea, executed spectacularly. The Szechuan dumplings were a little spicy and tasty, but they were just warm, which gave them an oily mouth feel. I got a to-go order of pork fried rice, and I have to say, I could've done without it. Pulled pork just doesn't go with fried rice, flavorwise or texturally. The biggest disappointment about the meal was when I attempted to settle my tab. I walked to the front counter and was confronted by a young woman who snapped, "We don't take money up here!" Thankfully, Abby came out and took my payment, but the first young lady was so offputting, it will be a while before I go back, if ever. Definitely not how you convert a first-timer into a regular customer.

Coach Jones inspires and motivates fighters to push their limits daily and is very caring of his boxers. He maintains a positive and encouraging atmosphere while instilling a sense of discipline and responsibility in boxers. My kids love and respect him. Coach Jones prioritizes boxers safety and provides constructive feedback letting boxers know their strengths and weaknesses. He instills life skills... My family strongly recommends him. We are so so glad that we found him and our kids are able to be part of his academy.

He expects excellence at the gym and out of the gym - for example, one child had a bad behavior report from school and he was given a writing assignment by Coach Jones to hand in during next class (300 lines! A great learning lesson). He provides these kids life skills on how to be a responsible adult in life. For example, the boys had homework to go home and learn to tie a necktie. Another time, they had to all write a paragraph about why they love their parents and had to read it in front of the class because Coach Jones said public speaking is a very important skill for a leader. I love his style and commitment to building strong and capable adults. Highly recommend!
