$50 to spend at Mariposa

• Created by The Mother Earth Group, it’s Jill Marcus’s “culinary storyteller” project—built around connection through shared food.
• The whole menu runs on mezze, so dinner turns into a choose-your-own spread—think: North African/Mediterranean small plates + other global flavors.
• You’re eating inside the Mint Museum Uptown, with a space designed around art—work by Charlotte muralist Owl is part of the scene.
• Smart casual + modern, relaxing energy with sweeping Uptown views—come for a date night or a museum-night-out dinner.
• Aquaponically grown lettuces + greens show up via a partnership with 100 Gardens at The Innovation Barn—a sourcing story you can actually point to.
• Sunday brings a dedicated brunch window with live local jazz—jazz Sunday brunch turns a meal into an outing.
