    Hibachi Shrimp
    Daijai W.

    Hey Yelp friends! Today's review is on Cottage Express. I was searching for a good place where I could get hibachi and sushi in CLT for dinner recently. My order was placed through Door Dash. But let's get into the food! I ordered hibachi shrimp meal, Yum yum roll, and a spicy crabmeat roll. My major issue was only with the sushi. My shrimp hibachi plate was really good. It came with shrimp, zucchini, broccoli and mushrooms also w/ fried rice. I'm very picky when it comes to my hibachi because I've had bad ones in the past. But Cottage Express did not not disappoint. HOWEVER. The sushi, the rice was just extremely too mushy and the crab included in both rolls did not taste the freshest. So the reason for the three stars, is mainly in my disappointment towards the sushi. On Door Dash they have a 4.7 rating but on every other platform they have lower ratings. Going back for the hibachi may be an option but for the sushi, I'm don't think so.

    Not good. All the food is quite oily and tastes fake. The place is very dark and not very sanitary. We had a stomach ache after eating here.

We ordered the Sol Sunrise and the Berry Delish - Both were not only good but strong as well. Our waitress was polite and offered some good recommendations on what to get. We ended up getting the Salmon and Waffles w/ "Homestyle Fries" (roasted potatoes). The Salmon was perfectly seasoned with a nice crunch to it. The waffle was fine - Didn't look or taste like a fresh waffle but again it was fine. Those potatoes??? 10/10 - I could've just gotten those and would've been content since I'm an avid potato lover! Also, got the Sol All Star Breakfast. Waffle, Eggs, Turkey Bacon, and "Homestyle Fries." Everything was cooked as expected and taste was good. It's a nice brunch spot right at the boardwalk. Great location placement for any type of group.

The restaurant was busy but not overly so. They were able to seat us right away. There were lots of delicious items on the menu. My friends all got the salmon (two grilled and one fried). I got the crabcake because I just have to be different, I guess. They brought out cornbread muffins with honey butter that were delicious. They were really soft and cake-like and the honey butter topping was awesome. Two of us got side salads for our side and they came out with the meal, which isn't my preference but the food came out quickly any way so it was fine. The side salads were MASSIVE. Lettuce, cheese, tomatoes and onions (removed from mine) in a huge bowl. Probably could have been a meal to itself. The food came out and there was some confusion on sides that were mismatched and all of the salmons were grilled (instead of the one fried). Everyone really enjoyed their meal. I kinda wish I had gotten the salmon because it looked amazing and really well seasoned. The crab cake I had was good too. I think it had their Garlic Parmesan Cream sauce on top. The crab cake was big and had plenty of crab. I think I would have preferred a traditional tartar sauce on the side. I got their mac and cheese for my other side. It was super creamy and cheesy. It was also topped with the garlic parmesan cream sauce. Very tasty. Service was good. Not ton of visits to the table but I don't think we ever wanted for anything. My total with tip was about $40 and I think it was worth it for all the food I got. Would be a fun place to return too! Good job, Sol'Delish!

We pulled into the parking lot and Jonathan came to the car and took our order on his iPad! Now, mind you, I'm not a big meat eater or a fan of TRH, but this was the first time that I really enjoyed my food! We both ordered the Fort Worth ribeye steak dinners. I had the 12oz with fries and mushrooms, and my gf had the 14oz with a salad and baked potato! Both orders ca.e with their rolls and the honey butter! We sat there and waited for our order to be prepared! About 10 to 20 minutes later, our order was delivered to our car! The runner asked us to check the order to make sure it was correct! It looked and smelled amazing! OMG, it was the best boneless ribeye steak I've ever had! We both agreed that we have been missing out by ordering the bone-in! From now on, we are boneless all day!

My family and I wanted to drop in for a quick lunch while out and about in the area. Though there was a line to get in, we did not wait long before the doors were opened. We were seated and received bread while waiting to order. Our waiter was timely and made sure drink refills were available before having to ask. Our rolls came out a bit hard and she had no issue bringing out a fresh batch. Once orders were in, we enjoyed some of their flavored lemonade options. Not too sweet and the perfect tang for me! I ordered sirloin with a side salad and loaded baked potato. The sides were both tasty. Due to my sirloin appearing mushy and tasting altogether weird, I cannot say I enjoyed the full dining experience. With two bites in, I knew I would not be enjoying this steak. The potato was filled with sour cream, butter, and cheese & topped with bacon. I really wanted a steak, so it is unfortunate that my order was not great. However, the manager did remove the item from my ticket. Every one else enjoyed their meals and had no major complaints. Not sure I'd be back anytime soon though.

Perfect flavor, perfect cook... just elite execution all around. Catfish & Grits - 5/5 Listen... this dish deserves its own award. The best I've ever had -- and I don't say that lightly. That butter crab sauce? Ridiculous. The cheesy grits? Creamy perfection. The crispy catfish? Took the whole thing straight into outer space. This plate is an instant classic. Service - 4.5/5 Our server, Chy, was nothing short of amazing. She got a little busy (brunch rush is real), but she remained super accommodating and attentive. If I come back -- and trust me, I will -- I'm absolutely asking for her. The DJ - 5/5 The DJ understood the assignment.

The customer service was actually pretty good, too; however, unfortunately, due to the crowd, I would not go back. As a woman in my late thirties, I simply cannot take the club culture. I wasn't informed that it was giving TRAP nightclub vibes before I went. My friend described it as a sports bar. I stayed to enjoy quality time with her, but no... You can't bring or chew chewing gum in there - that tells you a lot. Also, upon entering, there were a group of girls discussing keying someone's car bc they saw an ex's car in the parking lot. I felt like I had to be on guard walking through bc most people were mean-mugging. There wasn't much joy in there. Additionally, I saw at least two men rolling blunts. The venue is beautiful, but the crowd is a major deterrent.
