   The dinner started off lovely but after a couple good mishaps the sercice quickly fell. All in all it’s a great restaurant, the staff was just off their game tonight. Would I go back though….

   Friendly but not very knowledgeable staff. I asked for a quiet table days in advance but was seated at a super loud table in the middle of the restaurant. What’s the point of even asking then?

   Very nice restaurant. Great food and good service. Definitely recommend having a reservation as they are very busy constantly.

   Crab dip was bland. Salad served with short rib was over salted. Our appetizer, salad and entree were brought out at the same time. It just was not what we were expecting from a restaurant as highly rated as Caroline.

   It's the anniversary of my mother's passing, and I knew I didn't want to stay home. I reserved a table, but they tried to sit me at the bar instead because I was by myself. I stated that I had reserved a table, so they instead put me at a table top in the bar. The most uncomfortable chairs, and I have a back injury so I had to leave the restaurant. I had to DoorDash Thanksgiving dinner. I understand it's hard working in Service on a holiday, I've done it myself, and I try to take care of those who have to work on holidays.

   Hi Regina, First, I want to sincerely thank you for sharing your experience with us, and I’m truly sorry to hear that your visit didn’t meet your expectations, especially on such a meaningful day. It’s deeply regrettable that you were not able to enjoy your meal in a comfortable setting, and I understand how frustrating that must have been, particularly given your back injury. We strive to make every guest feel welcome, and we clearly missed the mark during your visit. I hope you will consider giving us another chance in the future so we can provide the experience you deserve. Thank you for your understanding, and again, I’m truly sorry for the discomfort caused. Thank you, Sarah Beaver Caroline General Manager

    Came for thanksgiving dinner with a reservation and was seated at a table that was literally squeezed in the coffee shop line, where people were still queueing for coffee around us. Service was exceptionally slow and incorrect. Tgiving special was cold with tiny portions (ie an actual teaspoon of stuffing for an example). Was overcharged at the end of the meal and had to get it voided and corrected. For a $100+ meal, did not meet expectations, even considering the holiday factor.

    Hi Susan , Thank you so much for taking the time to provide feedback. I am so sorry that your experience on Thanksgiving did not meet your expectations. We are constantly striving to provide the highest level of hospitality and clearly fell short during your visit. It is never good to feel underwhelmed and its never the way we want our guests to feel when leaving the restaurant. I hope you'll give caroline another chance when you have the opportunity. I'll ensure we use this feedback to heighten the level of service we're providing. Thank you, Sarah Beaver Caroline General Manager
