Inspired by the wood-fired Robata grills of Japan, Mizu offers a refreshed take on live-fire cooking atop the Hyatt Centric in the heart of Charlotte’s SouthPark neighborhood. Opened in August of 2021 and named one of 2022's "25 Best New Restaurants" and "50 Best Restaurants" by Charlotte Magazine, the rooftop restaurant by Indigo Road Hospitality Group (IRHG) combines the traditions of ancient Japanese cooking with Southern influences and Asian flavors. The kitchen, anchored by Mizu’s own Robata grill, features a seafood-focused menu composed of wood-fired, raw, and chilled offerings.

The beverage program focuses on bright, easy-drinking libations using Japanese spirits and seasonal ingredients, complementing the cuisine and atmosphere. With a chic, minimalist design with natural elements throughout, the restaurant, named for the Japanese word for water, offers sweeping rooftop views from the patio, as well as sophisticated interiors and comfortable lounge and bar seating.

    This was our second time at Mizu. We wanted to give this highly rated restaurant a second chance after a disappointing first visit. Unfortunately this was hit-or-miss. The food descriptions show potential and get you excited but presentation and flavor were lacking. Chicken and salmon skewers were dry and salty. Maybe an interesting sauce or dipper may have helped. A highlight was the scallop dish. They were tender, with a nice lemongrass/miso preparation. They were sliced unevenly, taking away from the presentation. We enjoyed the shrimp sushi roll. Fried potatoes were simple, but tasty. The best part of the night was the service. Waitress was attentive, knowledgeable and very professional. All and all a good experience but not great for the price and high expectations.

    Mizu is a must visit place. The menu is unique and you can taste the quality ingredients. Our server Resy was patient & kind. There is valet which takes away any parking stress. Most surprisingly it is not super overpriced! I love it here🥰

    Every visit here is a true delight. They specialize in seafood but vegans please don’t pass them over. The menu changes every once in a while but recently my husband and I were able to enjoy the brussel sprouts, broccolini, crispy fried potatoes, kimchi salad, and the green machine maki roll. There are other options as well besides what I have listed and trust me they will fill you up. If you’re looking for an establishment that provides a great ambiance, amazing food, warm and welcoming staff that go above and beyond, this is the place to go.

    Our experience at the restaurant was disappointing. The venue itself is stunning, but upon arrival, we were informed that the kitchen was significantly delayed. After being seated, we waited over 20 minutes before having to request someone to take our drink orders, at which point we also ordered some appetizers. Unfortunately, after more than another hour, only a few appetizers had arrived, and no one had taken our entree orders. Frustrated, we decided to leave and asked for the check. Although they kindly comped our bill due to the long wait and lack of food, it was too late for us to dine elsewhere. We had hoped for an enjoyable evening with good food, but sadly, this was not the experience we had.

    Went to Mizu for dinner with friends and had a great time! It was our first time and our server was kind enough to help us go through the menu. We had the iron man and dragon roll! Delicious! The salmon was also so tasty, it melted in your mouth. Everything was on point! Will be coming back again!

    Great experience. Delicious food and tasty cocktails. And excellent service from Lianne! The hamachi crudo (highly recommend - very refreshing) and the salmon robata were especially good, and the Kawaii cocktail was *chef’s kiss*
