We're a passionate culinary team driven by giving people an experience they can taste deeply and truly savor.

Chef Andres Kaifer and partner Alex Bridges took over Charlotte's beloved staple, Customshop, in 2022 and have since evolved the menu, the vibe and everything inbetween.

Now, they'll launch Marina's Tapas, an ode to Kaifer's heritage and an invitation for Charlotte locals and visitors to travel to Spain without leaving the city.

Marina's, named for Kaifer's great grandmother, will offer casual bites, bocadillos and other classic favorites from its stall at Optimist Hall starting summer 2024.
