First time visiting with my wife. This place exceeded our expectations and we will return. We had 2 drinks each, 3 small plates, and a dessert and our bill was $100 without tip. Very reasonable considering the quality of food and time that goes into preparing each dish. We ate at the bar and bartender took great care of us and made some great recommendations. For small plates we had scallops with mixed greens, cold smoked asparagus topped with over easy egg, and fresh made ricotta gnocchi. The asparagus was absolutely amazing and one of the best dishes I have had in Charlotte in a long time. Scallops were cooked perfect and greens were a nice texture for the dish. Gnocchi was so light and perfectly prepared. For dessert we had a chocolate stout cake topped with fudge and biscoff ice cream. As you can see from the picture it was amazing and I could not get a picture before it was devoured. I highly recommend giving this place a try!

We recently came here for restaurant week. I've been wanting to check it out since they opened and their restaurant week menu looked good so it seemed like a good time to try it. They let you order off both the restaurant week menu and the normal menu which is nice. We decided to do one restaurant week order and then order other things off the regular menu that we really wanted to try. For restaurant week we ordered the notorious P.I.G puppies, the buttermilk kettle fried chicken, and the Krispy Kreme bread pudding. Off of the regular menu we got the point Judith calamari, the octopus special, the ricotta gnocchi, and the local burrata. We were also with another couple and shared everything. We tried a little bit of the fried green tomato caprese, the Asian BBQ skirt steak, and ice cream trio they got as well. I'll start by saying that everything was delicious. My favorites were the calamari, the octopus, the fried chicken, the ricotta gnocchi, and the bread pudding. The calamari was the star of the show. It was amazing. Fresh. Great sauce. The only calamari I've had that even compares was in a tiny seaside town in Ireland. We tried a few drinks as well. We had Dat Juice, Some Like It Hot, and The Uncle Eddy. Dat Juice was my favorite, but they were all very good. I will say that as good as they were, I'd probably skip them next time to cut down on bill. The service was incredible. We had the friendliest most helpful waiter. He made great recommendations for us. Given the small plates style, it's not a cheap restaurant, but you get some really great food. We all loved it. I would highly recommend Zeppelin for your next special occasion!
