As usual, the food was outstanding and the service was fast and above expected. We go often before plays at TPAC because they always have wonderful food and get us in and out quickly so that we arrive in time for the play.

We had a great experience yet again at Carne Mare. Our waiter was very attentive and thoroughly went over the menu. He also made suggestions for each course for our table of four. We landed on two salads: Caesar and the wedge splits since it’s big. Second course was pumpkin tortellini split. We also got the roasted chicken for two, filet and strip loin. Our side was brussel sprouts. Carne Mare also provides complimentary yeast rolls that are to die for! Everything, including our cocktails and wine, was excellent. We will definitely be back.
