Our restaurants aren’t just eating places with craveable dishes & drinks—they’re also where we breathe life into old buildings, create job opportunities, nurture a restaurant family, and serve others with loving hospitality.
Once upon a time, we quit our corporate jobs, strapped on backpacks, and set out to see the world. We ate steak and frites in London, pasta in Italian cafés, crêpes on the streets of Paris, and meats and cheeses in tiny Spanish bars. We wandered without a plan, savoring the feeling of unhurried time and dreamily chatting about someday opening a restaurant of our own.
Eight months later, we returned to the States ready for a new start. Less than a year after coming home, the awning went up on our very first restaurant in Charlotte’s eclectic NoDa neighborhood — and our dream became reality.
It’s been over a decade since those first doors opened, and today we’re more dedicated than ever. We now have six unique concepts — Ever Andalo, Growlers Pourhouse, Haberdish, Leluia Hall, Reigning Doughnuts, and Supperland — each designed to add to the food fabric of Charlotte in a meaningful way. Our goal is simple: encourage every guest to relax, savor, create memories, and enjoy themselves.
