CHARLOTTE, N.C. — These NoDa restaurants are accepting reservations for the first time — but it’ll cost you. Haberdish and Crepe Cellar Kitchen & Pub are dedicating up to 25% of seating to paid reservations.
That means guests who want a guaranteed dinner time can pony up $3 a seat Fridays through Sundays, or $2 a seat Tuesday through Thursday.
