    Excellent food at Carcara was overshadowed by extremely slow service. A 5:45 PM reservation resulted in an 8:00 PM departure due to long waits between courses and drinks. While the food was delicious, the service pacing needs significant improvement.

    Dear AaronN, Thank you for reviewing our restaurant. We are dedicated to providing exceptional service, and we strive to exceed our guest’s expectations on every visit. Therefore, we want to extend our apologies for not providing you with a seamless, enriching dining experience. We would love for you to return and enjoy the hospitality we are known for.

    I had brunch on Sunday. I ordered the chicken and waffles. The chicken was fresh and the waffles nice and buttery. The butter sauce in the chicken was okay. I’m not really a sauce girl. The non alcoholic ginger beverage was refreshing with a little Kick. I ordered 2. Staff friendly an attentive. The resturant was clean and pretty setting indoor and outside.
