Bask On Seaboard’s executive chef Chuck Herrick and his collaborating crew artistically etch a seasonal menu of modern American delicacies crafted from fresh, local produce worthy of a spotlight on Charlotte Today. Small plates wallop taste buds with petite portions of intense flavor combinations, such as the roasted-garlic-and-black-bean blend in the hummus or the spiced cheese fondue served with the butternut squash fritters. Sweet potatoes and haricots verist dance across a large plate of North Carolina trout, entertaining tongues with fresh, savory flavor and astounding card tricks. Appetites unable to determine tummy cravings can hedge their bets with surf and turf, a platter overflowing with spicy shrimp and hanger steak aside creamed spinach with pecan orzo.

Bask’s chic dining room encloses patrons within exposed-brick walls, black framed art, and silver-metal accents highlighted by glowing pendant lights. Diners can sidle up to a plush, white-clothed booth or chair before letting wandering eyes stroll across elegant dark-wood furnishings gifted from Paul Bunyan’s secret forest of furniture trees.
