The Flat Rock Grille in Charlotte has closed - for the second time.
The seafood and steak restaurant, part of a Southeastern chain, first opened in Ballantyne in 2005 and first closed in mid-2007. Ownership changed more than once in the restaurant's history, and a site in the same area was resurrected - but parent company WR Hospitality Group announced this week it has closed the 15719 John J. Delaney Drive store.
The company cited decreased sales and traffic at that location, but emphasized it will keep its restaurants in Hickory and Asheville going. If you've got a gift card, those two sites will honor it, says WR.
