Ballantyne
On a recent trip to Charlotte, we were turned on to this delicious spot by a member of our film crew.

Though almost every upscale sushi restaurant strives to be innovative, Baku really pulls it off. Unusual and exciting favors can be discovered in their unique signature rolls. The tuna tartare was a tasty surprise. 

Great selection of cocktails and sakes. Very professional, upscale service, cozy modern atmosphere. Highly recommended.

Room and staff was great overall. Little things like they could definitely use some updating.

The staff were friendly from the moment I checked in. The room was clean even though I did have some trouble with the shower door not closing all the way. It was close enough to shops and places to eat but not too far from downtown either. I would definitely stay here again!
