CHARLOTTE — A boutique seafood concept has set its sights on Cotswold.
A sign for The Belly of the Whale has gone up at 4422 Colwick Road. The roughly 2,700-square-foot space has been vacant since November 2025, when Pizza Peel closed after a 17-year run.
“We are a boutique seafood restaurant in Charlotte dedicated almost exclusively to the waters of North Carolina’s Atlantic coast. Our dining room is intimate, refined, and deeply personal,” the restaurant wrote in a LinkedIn post seeking a maître d or front-of-house manager for that venture.
