Food is a necessity but it can also be an artistry. Located atop the Hyatt Centric Hotel in the heart of SouthPark, Mizu is the only restaurant in Charlotte where guests can enjoy traditional Japanese Robata cooking.
Considered the oldest form of Japanese cooking, Robata began centuries ago by fishermen who prepared seafood by laying skewers over a wood grill. The practice evolved to charcoal — where the high heat locks in the juice— providing food with incredible flavor and texture.
After sampling, this editor highly recommends the delicious Yaki-Tori chicken skewers.

Led by Executive Chef Luis Vargas-Diaz, guests can savor meat, seafood, and seasonal vegetables while witnessing the sparks and bustle of live-fire cooking.
Mizu provides an elaborate selection of Maki sushi rolls + a list of delicious cocktails. There are also plenty of options for vegetarian guests.
A great time to visit Mizu is just before sunset. Lucky guests will get a pristine sunset view over the SouthPark skyline from the rooftop balcony.
