Counter-

Counter- is an intimate, full sensory restaurant experience featuring themed tasting menus created by Executive Chef and Owner Sam Hart. Designed to evoke emotion throughout the dining experience by utilizing sound, taste, and art as a vehicle, the menus rotate quarterly and are driven by sense-based storylines such as music, modern art, and mental health.

Once seated, guests will experience meticulously coursed-out dishes and wine pairings presented by Hart and his team. The wine program is proud to feature a diverse offering that includes female, LGBTQ+, and minority winemakers, alongside a thoughtfully curated non-alcoholic pairing option.

Hart aspires for Counter- to be an incubator for rising star chefs, providing them a place for empowerment, guidance, and inspiration to open their own concepts in Charlotte, while also elevating his hometown’s dining scene.
