First look! Mazi, South End Mediterranean

A first look at Mazi, the South End restaurant from Built On Hospitality featuring Mediterranean flavors and southern ingredients.
 
Mazi, a new Mediterranean restaurant in South End, is energetic and contemporary, evoking the feel of a buzzy city bistro. Tufted green banquettes run along one side of the deep rectangular space, while artichoke-shaped lights cast a warm glow.
 
Back in February, Built on Hospitality chef and partner Chris Coleman was deep into the physical buildout and menu development for Mazi, the Charlotte restaurant group’s fifth concept. Just weeks from opening, he was still searching for a chef de cuisine to oversee day-to-day kitchen operations when mixologist Bob Peters — the Charlotte cocktail guru behind Mazi’s beverage program — introduced him to chef Whitney Thomas.
