    The Carlin was truly an all encompassing experience. Hospitality, quality and service are just a few things to list. Our waitress Amelia was such a light of joy while offering amazing recommendations. The food was hands down better than the Michelin Star restaurant I just tried in Denver. No cap. 10/10.

    Service was great. Brussel-sprouts appetizer (with duck confit and dehydrated bing cherries) was amazingly delicious. Jalapeno hush puppies appetizer were surprisingly good as well. The shrimp scampi (to which we added scallops) and the scallops special were both excellent. The servings were so large we had to bring all but the hush puppies (which don't reheat well anyway) home for leftovers! We also enjoyed the "Simpler Thyme" (zero-proof) drinks, to the point where we had five of them (sharing the fifth). If only we'd had room for dessert!

    Top notch restaurant experience! We had a table of 5 reserved for weeks, called 24 hours in advance and they worked with us to allow a +1. Menu: it was clear that Chef put lots of effort into the menu and the selections were great. My wife was not too excited for her tuna dish, which she felt was too well done. She brought it to Staff's attention and they immediately offered her another selection, and no questions asked. Extremely professional FOH staff!

    We had such a lovely experience at the Carlin! Our waiter Connor was well-versed on the menu, passionate about the restaurant, and more than happy to provide recommendations. Greyson, the general manager, welcomed us right as we walked in and continuously made us special throughout the night. We had gone for my boyfriend's birthday and every dish we had, every drink, and especially the banana bread dessert made our evening memorable. Thanks a million for a great night!

    Making a reservation is helpful though I noticed walk ins were accepted. We dined on a Saturday evening in Dec. The restaurant has ample parking and seamless check in and seating with our reservation. Connor our waiter was incredible, attentive, and well versed on the menu. The raw bar was fresh and delicious. We had oysters and snow crab claws. Their restaurant is kid friendly though geared towards adults. We had our 10 and 5 year olds with us and there’s a great kids menu. The portions are very generous, my husband and I shared the short ribs and it was delicious, cooked perfectly, and flavorful. They have great craft cocktails and a great wine offering. We shared a bottle of the Hobo. We will definitely be back.

    Hello Brooke, We are truly happy that you and your family enjoyed the Carlin. We will let Connor know he did a good job. Please come back and see us soon. Scooter and Greyson
