The service at Carolina is enough reason to go back. Eduardo and all of the staff are so incredible, passionate and kind. The food was fantastic and the view before it got dark was great to watch the sunset. Highly recommend even if you’re not staying at St Regis.

Excellent meal, lovely live music, beautiful view. Would have given it a 10 until the manager who came over to run our card tried to cheat us into overpaying the gratuity. (By the way, we tip 15%). He ruined what would have been a terrific evening.

Super happy with our evening with Quinto! We told them it was our anniversary and requested a table with a view. We got a table with a great view and they gave us a free dessert for our anniversary. One of us is celiac and they were most accommodating. The food was delicious, the service was great and we loved the ambiance.
