Taking a step back to yester-year, four high school buddies devised an idea to open a pizza joint. Fast-forward to the present, and what had started as a dream has finally sprouted into a reality.

Well, Smalls isn’t literally killing me, but this new restaurant springing up in the fun and dynamic Elizabeth neighborhood of Charlotte has certainly created a menu to die for!

The eatery focuses on providing guests with inspired cuisine, unparalleled service, and an environment that is purposefully addictive.
In the South, BBQ is a long hauled tradition that’s been perfected and passed down from generation to generation. Though the secret recipes are still unavailable to the public, the mouthwatering food is open to all at Queen City Q. Influenced from different parts of the state, Queen City Q offers four regional sauces that can satisfy every BBQ craving. The experts behind “Charlotte Q” took the time to explain how they got started, what goes into their food, and why they should become an Uptown favorite.
Pisces Sushi Bar, located at 1100 E. Metropolitan Ave. Suite 120, or “the Met” as most call it, has recently extended their restaurant of fresh sushi cuisine into a lounge rivaling any after-hour hot spot. Pisces is carefully tucked away across the street from Trader Joe’s, but don’t let the size of their store-front fool you. Inside there is plenty of square footage with an architectural draw that most sushi places in Charlotte lack. There is a sense of elegance and exclusivity with their clandestine arch booths that allow you to eat in a privacy setting unique to most. The entrepreneurial and charismatic Bryan Li, co-owner of Pisces, talked with Elevate and shed some light on the newly acquired real estate.
