CHARLOTTE — This stand-alone restaurant concept in lower South End now has a name — and an elegant, yet quirky, ostrich mascot to boot.
Henrietta’s will be a neighborhood bistro at 117 Southside Drive. That new offering from Meg Charity and Barrett Worthington, co-founders of pickleball venue Rally, is slated to open mid-summer.
