Firstly it was prom night and we got caught up at photos so we were late to our original reservation time. The front desk staff were so accommodating and made sure to still get us a good table in less than 5 minutes even while being busy. Our server, Gwen, was AMAZINGGG and made our first time experience at this restaurant 100/10. I could go on and on about how great she was. You can tell this place puts a lot of thought and care into who they hire, everyone was so freaking nice! As we were leaving they even took care of our parking fee. By far my new favorite restaurant and I will definitely be coming back (and asking for Gwen)

This was my first time visiting Catalina and it was for a brunch with the girls. Parking in the…read moreparking garage is validated, just bring your ticket in. It wasn't too loud inside which was nice, even though it was decently full during Sunday brunch. Parm fries were amazinggg, but I am disappointed we didn't get the amount of parm that other photos depict and that my friends had had in the past... My friend liked her lobster roll a lot but thought the cole slaw should've been in smaller pieces to make it more bite friendly. I wouldn't order the filet mignon & eggs again. The steak itself with the chimichurri was sooo delicious. However, the egg and salsa and breakfast potatoes were super bland. I would come back to try another menu, but not for brunch. Our server was super nice but busy

It was a Friday night two weeks before Christmas, but it was only 5:45pm so I feel like we got lucky. We were able to walk in and be seated right away. We ordered cocktails and embraced the tapas menu, ordering too many things to sample and share. We sadly had to leave some of it behind. Our waitress was a sweetheart and though the restaurant space was big and open, the warm wood and exposed brick inside made it feel welcoming and cozy. There was enough room between tables that we didn't feel crammed in and the table was big enough to hold all the delicious goodness. I felt like two top tables can sometimes barely hold your water glass and bread plate. We head to Charlotte pretty regularly for various things, and I would like to bring our teenage boys back sometime. I think they would really like the menu and style of the restaurant. Nice enough for a quick date night before and event, but casual enough that I feel like we could bring the teens and not have to "dress up".

I do think the interior sometimes feels a bit too "open-concept," if you know what I mean... ...but who cares?! The food is great! Of the stuff that stays on the menu, I really like: the chicken sandwich, the tandoori carrots, the mussels, and the pierogis. As for the current menu: I really like the watermelon caprese salad, scallops, and curry chicken tacos.

Really solid fried chicken spot with big flavor…read more Got the Aretha Mae chicken sandwich with a side of fried cauliflower bites, and everything hit. The smack sauce is especially good and ties everything together. I went with mild heat, which had great flavor without being overly spicy. Portions were solid, but it is a bit on the pricier side. My sandwich and cauliflower bites came out to about $21 with tip, so it feels more like an occasional treat than an everyday stop. There's nice seating both indoors and outdoors, but it is a bit limited. Food came out in about 10 minutes, which felt totally reasonable. Fair warning, it's definitely a messy sandwich, so grab extra napkins, but that kind of comes with the territory. Overall, really good food and something I'd absolutely get again when I'm in the mood for a quality chicken sandwich.

It has a cozy indoor dining area and a cute side patio, right in the heart of NoDa. We made a reservation online for four people, which was easy and definitely recommended since reservations can be limited. They do accept walk-ins when space is available. Haberdish is known for its fried chicken, and our table tried several different options. I ordered the dark meat chicken, one friend got the two-piece white meat, another got the Nashville hot chicken, and another ordered the Haberdish Stack. Everything was delicious. For starters and sides, we shared the deviled eggs, mac and cheese with crispy chicken skin, Brussels sprouts, hush puppies, and a cinnamon roll. The Brussels sprouts were fantastic, and the hush puppies were the standout for me. They came with a sweet butter that was absolutely incredible. We also enjoyed mimosas with brunch. Our server was friendly and attentive, and the entire experience was wonderful from start to finish. The food was excellent, the atmosphere was warm and inviting, and it's definitely a place I'll be returning to. Next time I want to check out the dinner menu because brunch was so good. Highly recommend if you're looking for great Southern food and a fun brunch spot in NoDa.

The tater tots and sweet potato gnocchi were absolutely incredible, and honestly, every dish we tried was memorable. The Brussels sprouts and mac and cheese are also standouts. If you're going with a group, sharing plates is definitely the move so you can try a little bit of everything. And if it's your first time visiting, the fried chicken is a must. To finish, get the banana pudding. Trust me. Our server, Sebastian (we've had him twice now), was amazing both times.. attentive, personable, and always on top of anything we needed. The atmosphere ties it all together: dim lighting, cozy vibes, and the perfect spot to settle in for elevated comfort food. A charlotte staple

The outdoor back bar had really good heaters but don't stand directly under them for too long because they're strong! Really good place for a weekend night out or just a simple date night. This place fits either occasion!

The signs, the hints of Irish detail are adorable. The highlight of this visit were the Leprechaun Balls.

Yes the pub burger was good. The fries were delicious!!! My husband enjoyed the fish sandwich (which he did not let me get a bite of, lol) But again the show stopper for me were the Leprechaun Balls and I literally ordered them because the name was cute but they were mouth watering.
