    This was our first time here. The bar had great options for happy hour. We had the happy hour cocktails and then were seated. We had a large group, and the waiter suggested we try dining "family style" to sample all the different entrees. TIt was a great suggestion. The steak was so delicious. We also loved their pasta, and they were very accommodating and mindful of a food allergy one of our guests had. It was a great experience. Our waiter had a lot of large table,s and he managed to time the food perfectly. I highly recommend Carpenter Street.

    Love the vibe of this place. Food is fantastic and service top notch. Love the Rigatoni…the sausage gives it just a perfect amount of heat. Mussels are a can’t miss with great broth and bread to dip. Perfect neighborhood spot for a casual night out.

    Enjoyed our cocktails and wine, but had issue with almost every food item ordered. Only ones without critique were the Salmon and Branzino. 3 out of 5 steaks were severally overcooked, tomatoes on the burrata looked lovely but had no flavor, and the sautéed mushrooms resembled something dehydrated. The wait for drinks and the food would have made sense if the place was packed, but is was not.

    Food was decently priced for how good it tasted. The burger was actually really good. My only complaint was my server calling me buddy and my girlfriend babe. There’s nothing more belittling than having another man call you buddy. Service certainly needs some work.

    Great neighborhood restaurant. Casual and has a fun old school vibe. Food was excellent especially the mussels with sausage….very good bread to sop up the juices. Pork Milanese was so good, but a big portion…enough to take home for lunch or a snack. The Branzino was tasty and simply prepared with a lot of great veggies.

    The food and drinks were good. Very disappointed in the surcharge added to the bill and will not return because of it. It’s the only business in the world where the patrons are expected to pay for the employee. It’s not enough we have to tip them to make up for the salary the business owners don’t pay, but now we have to pay their medical as well. I understand the food cost. Really it should be higher. We all go to the grocery store, so we know what the cost of groceries are. At a restaurant, we expect someone to buy it, prepare it, and serve it to us. We should pay high prices for that. What we should not pay for is tips and added surcharges because the restaurant owners are choosing not too. They are your employees, take care of them. I pay enough for my own medical, dental and vision. And it was never even mentioned. Just added. Ridiculous! Do better for your employees!!
