Charlotte’s James Beard finalist’s new dining concept is here. And you can get it for $90
When the transformation from Biblio to Counter-’s new Archive experience takes place on Friday, Dec. 15, you can expect to see some of executive chef and owner Sam Hart’s best work on a plate.
You won’t find the same themed experience as you would inside Counter-, where the meal tells a story with accompanying music and artwork.
But what you will find from the James Beard Award finalist for Best Chef: Southeast is a seven-course selection of some of their favorite menus from the Counter- lineup — packaged in a “more approachable experience.” Meals at Counter-’s current Time theme are $185 per person, and it’s Time Ultimate option — which adds four courses with rare ingredients — is $235 per person.
Here’s what you should know:
Archive’s first menu will include dishes from seven distinct Counter- themes:
- “Oysters Rockefeller” (Fire Menu)
- King Crab (Sauce Menu)
- Doppio (Here & Now Menu)
- Black (Colour Menu)
- Rossini (Covers Menu)
- Parm Banana (Pop-Ups)
- Milkshake (Cinema Menu).
Pricing and other details:
- Pre-paid reservations will be $90.
- Two wine pairings will be available — the Global ($55) and the Reserve ($125).
- Reservations are now live and can be made via Tock.
- 2% of all sales will be split between The Relatives and Time Out Youth, nonprofit organizations that the restaurant partners with to support young people in the community.
- All dietary restrictions and allergies will be accommodated.
