   It was our first time at the Carlin. The atmosphere was nice and the food was excellent. We had drinks at the bar prior to seating. Sam was a great bartender and Kelly was an excellent server.

   Food was incredible, absolutely gourmet and delicious but very expensive! The excellent quality made up for the size of the portions. Only other thing, very noisy as in difficult to hear each talk. Overall, great, will definitely go back.

   Service was fantastic and restaurant was exactly what we wanted. Food was excellent. A bit pricier but we expected as much with the menu. Well worth it and we will definitely return.

   We had so much fun! I really appreciate the support for my medical issues/food allergies. My vegan food was fabulous. Mt guests loved the short ribes and risotto. Amelia and all the staff were wonderful. We loved it and will return this week if we are able.

   Beautiful restaurant and great staff. The food was really good, with one notable exception. We ordered oysters for a starter and a couple of them had clearly gone off and smelled horrible. We did not eat the rest of the dish and asked them to take it away. Disappointed that the Staff/manager did not remove the item from the bill. Not a big deal, but for such a nice place it would have been the classy thing to do.

   Hello Richard, Thank you for the feedback. We are truly sorry for the subpar oysters and they definitely should have been taken off the bill. We will do our best to find out what the problem was and get you reimbursed. Scooter and Greyson

   Beautiful space with great art. I love a limited menu….so that everything is fresh and excellent. As always, we had fresh oysters. And they were amazing. As was the short rib and sirloin. Not only is the food always great, but the service is excellent!

   From the moment we stepped up to the maitre’d, the service was impeccable. The entire cast worked like a well-oiled machine. And the food was just divine. Each bite of every morsel was better than the last. We enjoyed the carmelized Brussels sprouts and bang bang shrimp. The entree was salmon with zucchini, cooked medium rare and absolutely perfect.
