Waiter was rarely with the table. Drinks came out fast but waited 40+ minutes for our main dish while another table got there's quickly after being seated. Combo meal came out half cold and Calamari had a rubbery texture. Salmon dish was very oily and buttery and could not taste the lemon notes very well.

Loved coming to this place all the time but the last couple times me and my boyfriend went for date night we ended up asking for our check early. The other day we went and sat down really quickly the front ladies were amazing. Once our “waiter” got to the table he already looked like he was ready to clock out. Our drinks took about 10 mins to come out even though we were sitting by the bar and they were just waters.
Waited another 10-15 mins for him to come ask for even appetizers. We ended up ordering the stuffed mushrooms as a starter and were really good. But proceeded to wait 30 -45 minutes to order our main dish because he never came up to us. He was also the bartender so maybe that was also a hold up. We got tired of waiting and walked out frustrated because we were super hungry and hopeful for a great date night for once and left unsatisfied. Carinos is not what it used to be. This is the 3rd time we have had to do this and we are actually super patient.

Our original server never came up to us and we were sitting for about 15 minutes and we missed the happy hour. Our Server Symahti saw we weren’t helped yet and went ahead and took us, she was great and very attentive and apologized on behalf of the original server she saved our experience and made it very welcoming . 🙌

Sat there for 15 minutes at 7:30 PM to 7:50 PM just to be told that they can’t service us for 45 minutes for a half empty restaurant. Nobody was at the bar and half of the tables were open and available crappy service a bunch of people that don’t wanna do their job and our rude hostess

Went there an hour before closing noticed that the employees pretty much cleaned up the place chairs were on the tables kitchen looked closed we ended up ordering and most of the food we ordered wasn’t available they told us they were out but we knew it was because they had already cleaned up the kitchen our soups were cold ended up returning it our food wasn’t good at all my sons plate was really disgusting the chicken taste like rubber I knew it was left over and they just reheated it we sat next to the kitchen so we knew they were just reheating everything in the microwave we didn’t see them making anything on the grill not sure why management allows the employees to clean up an hour early all that’s going to do is loose customers it was our first time here and will be our last our experience was not good we hated it..

I’m not usually a review person but my family and I just experienced one of the worst and most disgusting experiences at this location. My mom ordered spaghetti with sliced chicken. The chicken was rubbery and smelled foul, my mom took one bite and knew it was expired chicken. Once we told the server she simply requested it be changed to spaghetti, but was brought a completely different dish and denied the plate. When the check was brought out, it stated that “customer didn’t like the food” seemed like a petty comment thrown in by the manager. The taste was not the issue..,it was the SALMONELLA that could have potentially made my mother sick. Be warned. And be careful with what you eat anywhere, wish it was taken more seriously.

We have very busy schedules so when we have time to go out we really hope it's worth it. And this was it! We had a very good time. Jennifer was our server and she was always checking on us, super nice. And the food was really good. We will definitely go back.

Food was and drinks were a bit slow, but still one of our favorite family spots for a quaint dinner. Our server veronica j, blew it out of the water for us. My mom loves it when her servers talk with her and still do a great job flying around the dinning room.

That was our first and last visit to Carinos. Let me start by saying our waitress was pleasant and friendly. The food is what was offensive. I wasn't expecting Five Star dining, but I also wasn't expecting the worst food ever. My 3 year old got Mac and cheese and it was not edible. It was penne noodles covered in clumpy cheese. My Alfredo was bland and had no taste. The chicken slivers tasted like frozen Tyson strips and my noodles were gummy. My husband got the chicken pasta with mushrooms and lemon cream sauce but all it tasted like was bacon. That was it, just bacon. His noodles were more than just al dente. The potato and minestrone soup were the only thing we ate. The bread was served with no plates, no butter, no oil. Just a basket with bread in it. It was empty on a Sunday night around 4:30/4:45. We did end up returning our uneaten food, minus the soup.
