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.

    I went there for a cocktail competition and now I can’t wait to go back for dinner! The staff was super friendly and the hors d’oeuvres they passed around were delicious. It was the perfect spot to see a gorgeous sunset from the rooftop bar. Highly recommend!

    The food is excellent at Mizu! All are pretty much small plates but are wonderful! The outdoor area with a fire pit is great for views and having a drink by the fire pit. The staff are friendly and and attentive!

    We have been to Mizu a few times through the years and enjoyed ourselves, but last night missed the mark from a food standpoint. Our waitress was lovely and checked on us regularly. Cocktails were wonderful. Unfortunately, food was a miss for the most part except for chicken thighs, and husband liked the duck. Crab fried rice came out Luke warm, flavorless with a few shredded vegetables. I don't add salt to my food, but it tasted like day-old white rice with a few veggies and some crab claw flakes. Hubby had to add some soy sauce to make it look like fried rice and add a taste to rice. We thought, ok, one time fluke with this meal. Then seabass small plate had a few good pieces, but my husband's last piece of fish (unfortunately he put into mouth as a whole piece) tasted like Ammonia/clorox( which in short means the fish is spoiled and decomposing). We politely and discretely notified waitress of this so hopefully they wouldn't put anyone at risk for gastrointestinal issues. She agreed it obviously was not a fresh piece of fish and said she mentioned to the manager who would follow up with us. Unfortunately, there is no follow-up after that from the manager. The spoiled seabass wasn't removed from the tab, and that was that. We paid the bill and left, knowing it would probably be our last time coming back. We love supporting great restaurants, but when preparing fish, sushi, and any produce, it is really important that you are being mindful of health codes and preventing illness. If a customer is being kind about the situation and trying to let you know without making a fuss to protect others, the restaurant should want to know and take heed. Thanks again to the waitress for service overall, but sadly, I won't be back.

    Would definitely go back. View on the patio was fantastic, server was wonderful, and we were greeted warmly by management. And, the food was superb…..great spin on traditional Asian cuisine. I’m not quite sure how, but if the seating was changed somehow to create an even more magical experience outside, this place would truly shine. And, I’m not a designer and therefore don’t know the secret to creating that kind of experience. But, at a glance, I think the long bench towards the wall limits seating greatly because seating dictates that someone always has their back facing the view unless those seated are already an intimate couple and therefore don’t mind sitting close and enjoying the view.

    Mizu was one of the best experience I’ve had in a restaurant. The staff was fantastic! The food was fabulous. And the portions were great. The sushi is one of the best ever. And you have to try the Sea Bass. Best I’ve ever had.
