Our server, Emily, was amazing in so many ways. Kind, helpful, and offering suggestions as we thought out loud about our choices. She is an EXCELLENT representative of your restaurant - especially being such a young adult. She made our dinner so much better. In addition, the wait staff who removed our plates, etc., were very polite and professional when coming to the table. They tried to do everything without distracting us. The restaurant is, of course, beautiful and the atmosphere...

We have been going to CaraCara since it opened. It's consistently been one of our favorite local restaurants and that's not something that is easy to achieve considering how difficult the restaurant business is. We had the tableside guac, a delicious frozen drink each, paella and salmon. We were given churros on the house which were scrumptious. This is an all around excellent choice when you're hungry for quality dining.
