Chef Ken Zellers sources locally grown and harvested seafood, proteins and vegetables and works magic to elevate them into a memorable dining experience. The restaurant is housed in a historic building that has been lovingly restored. It was formally the town doctors house with his office in a small adjacent building. In addition to the main restaurant, THE SIDEBAR is located in the small building and serves up more casual fare including house made sourdough pizzas, fresh soups, salads and unique charcuterie boards. Reservations are encouraged for Caroline's Table and can be made by calling/texting the restaurant directly at 410-490-4495.

    My friend and I enjoyed a delicious meal at Caroline’s. Everything we ordered was fresh and creatively conceived and very tasty. Sitting on the porch was nice, be we felt a bit overlooked/forgotten about. Took a long time to be given water and asked for a drink order and then another long time until drinks came. Will definitely come back and sit in the adorable inside space and try some other dishes. The menu is terrific!

    We made a reservation at 6:00 p.m., arrived at 5:50 and were seated immediately. Water served was warm, ordered our cocktails which took almost 20 minutes to get. We had to ask for water refills twice, ordered our appetizer and food. The appetizer was 45 minutes after we arrived; we were there 1 1/2 hours and never did get our food. All of the surrounding tables that came in after us were served their food and some had finished their meals and left, and we still did not have our food. We got up and left to go get dinner somewhere else! The waitress kept making excuses as to why we did not have our meals. We asked to see the owner and the waitress told us he was unavailable. We were looking forward to having a nice dinner at a new restaurant and it was huge disappointment, we will NEVER go there again

    I tried the new Salmon Al Pastor and LOVED it! Great combination of flavor, texture AND color. The cilantro sauce is beautiful!

    First time at Caroline’s, it was a last minute idea and it did not disappoint. The shrimp toast appetizer was a large portion and the shrimp was cooked perfectly. The duck confit and pork ribeye are a must try.

    I have been watching them on social media for a couple of months and decided to take my wife to a late lunch early dinner! Cozy and quaint tucked in what could be labeled downtown Denton. The restaurant itself a retrofit in an existing home has been decorated warm and inviting but not pretentious . Starting with a bottle of Tempranillo moderately priced, not often found on smaller list but this list was very friendly and well balanced. Starters were a major challenge as every choice offered something to the imagination. We opted for “Shrimp Toast” Perfectly prepared white shrimp piled on toasted sour dough in a rich bath of light cream and shallot sauce. Not an ounce of disappointment in that choice! Dinner was just as delightful, a perfectly presented Maryland Crab cake , and from the sandwich list a jumbo lump grilled cheese on hearth bread ! Props to the chef as I will return for this item alone! This is a gem hiding just off 404, make the trip!
