Cara

An absolutely fantastic experience. Cara is fine dining without the stuffiness. Passion is evident from the kitchen to the waitstaff to the amazing flavors. It’s really just about amazing food. Tour the kitchen if you get a chance, the enormous custom stove is one of only a few in the country. Cole was a perfect server and put us at ease and comfort throughout the night. Service was attentive but not intrusive: The scallops were perfect, and the oxtail stew under it was rich and complex. The lobster and gnocchi was the best I’d ever had. Wine list was stellar and. The desert was fantastic. A five star experience for our valentines dinner. Bravo Cara!

Not for vegetarians. My husband and I went for what I thought was going to be a very special Thanksgiving. We had been there before when it was called “The Spiced Pear” so decided to try it again. I called to see if it was vegetarian friendly and they assured me vociferously that it indeed was. However there were no, nada, zip vegetarian entrees, only side dishes bulked up or pasta dishes with meat taken out. The only option was an unfortunate hen of the woods mushroom dish which had apparently been pickled and adorned with god knows why, a piece of chicken skin. I had a minute bowl of soup with an indifferent green salad that was overdressed and not in an impressive way. I was so hungry I had to have some of my husband’s sides from his more traditional dinner. My dessert took a bit of work to drill a fork through. Let us say pastry is not their forte. At $400 for a couple I should have been transported.

My husband took me here for my birthday. We sat inside with the most spectacular view . We started off with a couple of cocktails that were perfectly balanced and beautifully garnished. Our server was Cole. He was prompt and very knowledgeable in regards to the food, flavors, wine and where everything was sourced from, most of which was local which we greatly appreciate. We picked the tasting menu called “Plunge” which is a 6 course meal with wine pairings. Literally everything we tried was delicious and decadent. The wine pairings perfectly complimented and enhanced each dish. We thoroughly enjoyed this experience. It’s a little on the pricey side so it’s sort of a splurge, but the whole experience is so worth it . They also have outdoor seating that’s a bit more casual and offers a different menu. We will try that next . Highly recommend this place . They know what they’re doing . If you’re looking to be spoiled or spoil someone, this is where to do it!

Started with the pork belly, and my god it was fantastic. So much flavor! Then the Filet Mignon.... Wow. Cheddar Potatoes, while not a huge serving were delicious. The service was great our server was so pleasant even volunteered to take a picture . We walked in expecting tiny servings but it was great, healthy portions, and the desert was very tasty. Well worth the price for a beautiful location and delicious food! Also stayed at the Chanler. Magnificent all around.
