Counter-

Located in Charlotte’s Wesley Heights neighborhood, the restaurant is purposefully designed to mimic a blank canvas. Designed by Chef and Owner Sam Hart, Counter- features muted concrete floors, white linen concrete countertops, and simple grey walls, allowing the story being told through food to shine. A true chameleon, Counter- is intentionally easy to transform to fit the rotating menus, tableware, and art that accompany each quarterly theme. Once the theme is completed, all the revolving items are sustainably recycled, sold, or donated to local nonprofits. Aptly named, the restaurant seats 16 guests per service at a U-shaped counter that faces the open kitchen where the team prepares, plates, and presents each dish.
