A popular Indian Land restaurant is now open at Charlotte’s StoneCrest shopping center
Indian Land restaurant The Office Craft Bar & Kitchen has expanded with a second location that’s now open in the former Dean & DeLuca space in StoneCrest at Piper Glen in South Charlotte.
The Office’s new 4,000-square-foot space location offers a new place for sports fans to watch games with a crowd and for families to dine together.
The restaurant will also include 2,000 square feet of outdoor dining space once its patio is complete, perfect for sipping a craft cocktail al fresco and sharing an order of roasted red pepper hummus with friends.
StoneCrest location
Here’s what you can expect at The Office’s new location:
The food: The menu offers a variety of shareables such as nachos, dips and wings, along with burgers, salads and pizzas. Entrees include rotisserie chicken, ribs, salmon and even zucchini spaghetti. There’s a kids menu, too.
The drinks: You’ll find a full bar, including beer, wine and cocktails.
The space: The ownership team described the new location as having a “South End feel in the Ballantyne area.” Indoors, the upscale space carries similar decor as the original location, which is filled with leather-covered booths and seats, paired with calm, neutral walls.
Outdoors, guests will find 1,300 square feet of dining area and 700 square feet for the bar — accessible both indoors and outside. The heated and air conditioned year-round patio still under construction will be entirely covered, with removable drop screens, and it will include a double-sided fireplace.
The atmosphere: Guests can expect to find the same energy as The Office’s current location, summed up as: “It’s always 5 ’o clock at The Office.” TVs are hung all over, and you’ll find a crowd where singles, families and sports fans all blend in.
Restaurant growth
The Office is locally owned by Randy and Alisa Hood of ARH Ventures, and managing partner James Rivenbark and his wife, Kayla, of JARS Hospitality.
“We’re trying to create a really inviting vibe,” Randy Hood said.
The original Indian Land location opened in 2019, and plans for a third restaurant are in the works, as well.
