Visit March 2025. Ambiance was fun, server was kind, and the food was delicious. Only downside is for anyone new, it's hard to know that you need to sign yourself on a wait list. There are three different entrances/exits and we were a little confused about where to go. Also the prices listed here on Yelp are very inaccurate so I included a page of the current menu.

The food and drinks were delicious, freshly prepared, and the menu had a unique mix of cuisines. The ambiance was comfortable, clean, and beautiful. Our server did a fantastic job of handling our large party during a busy Saturday brunch, and we will definitely be back to do it again!

Friendly service, delicious food, and a funky space with great vibes. We love breakfast here - the shift meal is simple yet I crave it regularly! Yeah, service is not fast, however I don't mind waiting a little extra time for an overall delightful experience.

We absolutely loved having our 55-person wedding at Bar Carlo. The owner Mel is at the same time very supportive and very low-key, which made for a smooth planning process and day-of event. The space is gorgeous, and has multiple connected wings, which allowed for the the party to morph seamlessly over the night from barside cocktail hour to outdoor patio ceremony to dinner buffet to dance floor. The space is already a beautifully decorated artwork, and Mel lets you decide how to arrange the space for your event, but you can also bring your own decorations/sound system/llama and she can handle those additions easily. The food and drinks were delicious too, and Mel was able to accommodate our entirely vegan and gluten-free menu without hesitation. Overall we loved the unique-ness, flexibility and good vibes of the space and the people of Bar Carlo, and would recommend it to anyone who is looking for a cute and fun space for their wedding or other event. -Nicola & Lou
