Life is serious enough, dinner and drinks with friends and family should be a break from the daily grind. This, “come for drink, stay for while” attitude has shaped us into what we are today... a relaxing, no hassle, neighborhood spot. While we do take our food seriously, we strive to offer a welcoming feeling in our restaurant. Whether it is with family, friends, or by yourself, we invite you to come enjoy some good music, eat a big meal, and stay for a drink.

Excellent service and food at Dogwood. New location is very different than the South Park site but the quality of food is on par. Service was outstanding. Had a dozen oysters and they were cold, large, and briny - some of the best I've had in town. My pork shank was massive and delicious. Wife had trout and that was also excellent. We asked to be moved from a window table to a booth and that was no problem even though we had already ordered drinks. Every interaction was pleasant. Talked to one of the managers and several servers - all great. Prices are reasonable for this location. Only observation is parking is a bit tricky - they do validate self-park, but nobody seemed to know this until we asked inside.

About the restaurant
Inspired by the wood-fired Robata grills of Japan, Mizu offers a refreshed take on live-fire cooking atop the Hyatt Centric in the heart of Charlotte’s SouthPark neighborhood. Opened in August of 2021 and named one of 2022's "25 Best New Restaurants" and "50 Best Restaurants" by Charlotte Magazine, the rooftop restaurant by Indigo Road Hospitality Group (IRHG) combines the traditions of ancient Japanese cooking with Southern influences and Asian flavors. The kitchen, anchored by Mizu’s own Robata grill, features a seafood-focused menu composed of wood-fired, raw, and chilled offerings.

The beverage program focuses on bright, easy-drinking libations using Japanese spirits and seasonal ingredients, complementing the cuisine and atmosphere. With a chic, minimalist design with natural elements throughout, the restaurant, named for the Japanese word for water, offers sweeping rooftop views from the patio, as well as sophisticated interiors and comfortable lounge and bar seating.

★★★★★ Amazing Dining Experience at Fareinheit! We had an incredible meal at Fareinheit! We ordered a kids’ meal with chicken strips, fries, and orange juice, which was perfect for our little one. For the adults, we started with the American Wagyu steamed buns—absolutely delicious, and the cilantro added a great burst of flavor. The 10 oz steak filet with mashed potatoes was cooked to perfection, tender, and full of flavor. To top it off, the Sweet Dreams cocktail was a fantastic complement to the meal. Every bite was spectacular, and the service was just as great. Can’t wait to come back!
