The staff were friendly and attentive, the food, particularly the lamb dish we ordered, was delicious, and the overall ambiance of the restaurant was quite pleasant. In the midst of a busy shopping center, Cara Co offers a tranquil retreat for enjoying excellent food.

Every dish in the tasting menu was a custard, mousse, or soup. The only exception was a small and dry cube of lamb. The food was either too salty or lacking flavor. Portions were tiny and there were no salads or vegetables in sight. We left feeling hungry. The service was incredibly slow, with long waits between courses. It took over three hours to finish our small mousse dishes. Every other dish or drink, one of us was in the bathroom, so we didn't know what we were eating most of the time. This is very unprofessional. Overall, the food was strange and small, the service was slow and unprofessional, the wine selection was unimpressive, and the restroom was inconveniently located. For over $300, we expected much more. The only real food we had all night was a cheese sandwich when we got home.

Food was amazing, really delicious and creative- we had the degustation menu so luckily we could try many dishes- everything was yummy. Staff are knowledgeable- service was a little slow, especially when trying to get a drink. But overall it was a wonderful night. (The mini hand towels that look likes mints but 'grew ' when the waiter poured warm water on them were a big hit)

Every dish is bursting with flavor and excitement. Although the portions are somewhat small, they are just right for the average adult.
