Dot Dot Dot
Day 1: 5-Course Avant-American Tasting Series
Opened back in 2017, this Prohibition-style speakeasy that was voted Charlotte’s #1 cocktail bar also has pretty great food! Upon its opening, Eater placed it on its List of “15 Best New Charlotte Restaurants” and, a couple of years ago, Charlotte Magazine named it to its List of “50 Best Restaurants” in town. A brainchild of Master Mixologist Stefan Huebner, Dot Dot Dot’s gastrofare is now in the hands of Executive Chef John Cruz, a graduate of Johnson & Wales’ esteemed culinary program who trained with top Charlotte chefs, mastering fine-dining dishes from French, Italian, Greek and Southern cuisines. Before joining Dot Dot Dot, he served as Head Chef at Aparium Hotel Group and Biblio. At his new digs, his menu highlights include adobo cauliflower, shrimp ceviche, polenta dumplings with pork belly, and trout with collard greens and black eyed peas. “Ever-romantic” and “excellent” is how Eater describes Dot Dot Dot, so naturally we are excited to visit here. Hope you’ll join us!
