   A cute eclectic space. Very friendly staff. Some really fun and good cocktails. The food ranged from excellent to good. There was nothing bad. Some dishes were just better than others. The person with us who had lamb said it was excellent as was the meatloaf. Crab cakes are average. Probably better off just having them at a seafood restaurant. The space is small and intimate but surprisingly noisy. Overall, I would recommend it.

   My fiance and I enjoyed an incredible Easter dinner at Carmella's Pints and Plates today. From the appetizer to dinner to signature cocktails, we loved everything. Thank you.

   The service was quite slow, and please note that if you want to bring a birthday cake, they will charge you $3/person to cut and serve it, without mentioning it. that is after we asked the staff if they’d like to keep half of the $25 cake to share amongst the people working, and they said yes, that would be great. It feels like one or the other to me. Keep the cake and waive the fee, or say no thanks and return the cake. We had to request them to waive the fee then sit there and listen to them tell us why they won’t waive the fee in the future.

    I have had many wonderful meals at Carmella’s! Last night was a bit uneven. Excellent appetizers-Wagu meatballs-yummy! Excellent Caesar salads w fresh shaved Parmesan cheese. Rounded off with red pepper hummus w perfect crostini & veg. Just the right combo to start our meal. Excellent service. Our waiter was quick, very well informed on the menu, & did a great job. On to the uneven. The chicken pot pie? The taste was good. The presentation needs some tweaking. Not sure why there were very large pasta in place of the potatoes you’d expect to find. Topped with a couple pieces of puff pastry.My companion set it back. Sadly two of us decided to order the flank steak. When brought to the table-sliced (too thickly), I immediately noticed it had been cut WITH the grain, instead of of cut thin against the grain,making it impossible to eat. Flank steak can be very tasty, but not cooked past medium and thinly sliced against the grain.We sent them back. Came back with some sort of pepper rub of sauce on it, and clearly plated on the plates we had sent back in the first place, not freshly plated. Pork schnitzel? Meh. Overcooked and the side of spatzel? Not good. I would suggest adding a really great & really simply prepared, organic, crispy roast half chicken. Maybe a lemony sauce served in a little pitcher on the side. This was disappointing since I had chosen Carmella’s based on past excellent experiences!What happened next is the reason I will absolutely go back and you should go, too! The boss herself, Carmella, stopped by to check on our table. We shared what had happened and she handled it like an absolute PRO! Meals were replaced. She checked in several more times. Listened to us, and took care of us. Sent us complimentary desserts-fresh backed chocolate chip cookies served warm with ice cold vanilla ice cream! Sooo good! In addition, took unsatisfactory items off the bill & gave us gift cards to come back & use. Thank you Carmella! You were awesome & we’ll be back!! TY!
