Went to RH for Mother’s Day. Had a blast. Definitely one of the most beautiful restaurants I’ve been in and trust me I have been in hella restaurants. Our server was very sweet, attentive, and informative. I had to give him all of my money because he made my mom and i’s day very special. I wish I could remember his name- shorter white dude, minimal beard… anyways. The food was sooo good and the presentation was fire. My favorite dish was the hamachi carpaccio. I have those at my job at Hestia and honestly I realized- we got some competition. I will say- the yellowtail was a little on the saltier end but it was still delicious. Thank you so much for everything!!! I will be back to try more carpaccio and maybe that lobster I saw on the menu…

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. Led by the award-winning Indigo Road Hospitality Group, the rooftop restaurant combines the traditions of ancient Japanese cooking with Southern influences and Asian flavors. The chef offers a seafood-focused menu composed of wood-fired, raw, and chilled offerings, sushi, and shareable plates. True to the word Mizu's translation to 'water' in Japanese, the space's design takes inspiration from natural elements, which are incorporated throughout the chic, minimalist restaurant, and outdoor terrace with sweeping city views.
