Saturday nights include a master Spanish guitarist whose delightful music adds to the relaxed, sophisticated ambience. Besides our usual grilled salmon always juicy and delicious, we ordered the 220 salad, complete with tasty grilled chicken. Statesville remains lucky to claim a restaurant of the highest caliber with a welcoming staff to complete the dining experience.

Never disappoints! There is a reason this consistent & cozy neighborhood spot has been open for 30+ years. It probably doesn’t have more buzz by design…the CLT locals want to be able walk in and get a table or a seat at the bar on any random weekday🙋‍♀️ Charming and romantic in the dining room, friendly & fun at the bar. Plus it’s just plain delicious.
