mimosa grill was my favorite restaurant out of all the restaurants i got to try in downtown charlotte. i think i liked it so much because the food is so fresh. our server made it a point to tell us that the vegetables are all locally grown at least half a dozen times during our meal. it was almost comical. jokes aside, what i really liked best was the mimosa tea. it’s the most delicious non-alcoholic beverage i’ve had in a long time. i’ve had arnold palmer’s (half lemonade, half iced tea) before but their tea takes it up several notches. chad liked it so much that he got multiple refills. i can’t pick on him too much about the refills because i did too. it was delicious. i wanted to go there again and again just for the mimosa tea. i had the lobster mac and cheese. not the best choice. that part of the meal was just okay. i prefer the one here at wine dive better. i though the mac and cheese was a tad greasy. the salad was great, though. probably because the veggies are super fresh. the super delicious tea made up for the lackluster mac and cheese so i forgave them. david had the sea bass. chad had crab cakes, which is what i wish i would have ordered. the crab cakes were piled on top of each other with fried green tomatoes sandwiched in between. he said they were just as scrumptious as they looked. after seeing his plate, i really wanted a do over. alex got a very healthy salad, which looked amazing also. i bet it was really good. you know, because the vegetables are super fresh, being locally grown and all. lol. i joke around but, truly, i really liked mimosa grill. the prices were reasonable and the food was delicious and i wish i could have bottled that mimosa tea and brought it back with me to kansas. i tried to talk the group into eating there again on our final day in charlotte but no one really wants to eat at the same place twice, no matter how great it is. usually when you’re out of town, you want to try a bunch of different restaurants. specially ones tha
