"I 've been to Carter 's Landing a number of times since it opened. At the beginning, the service was fantastic with the staff being very energetic and going out of their way to make the experience wonderful. The menu was extensive and creative and the food was served hot and delicious. I went last Fall around Thanksgiving and was not at all impressed with the service. The place was very quiet with few diners. Rather than seat the guests in one of the dining areas the staff had us seated all over. With a small staff they couldn 't look after the guests properly. Service was extremely slow, food was delivered cold and was all around a very poor dining experience. I said I wouldn 't go back. Well, I was looking for a place for brunch and saw this available so decided to try it again. There was no mention of a buffet only and the website only showed a brunch menu. As my last visit, the service was horrible. We ordered coffee to begin and when it was brought about 5 or more minutes later, the server didn 't bring milk and cream, even after asking if we wanted those when we ordered the coffees. Then, a few minutes later she only brought 2 milks and 2 creamers. It was the same for our refills! The buffet at $22 a person was sparse. The 'kid ' making the omelets, crepes and waffles seemed well out of his element. Omelets were stuck to the pan, over cooked and only one at a time. Not much better on the crepes. The rest of the buffet, which consisted of 3 trays of hot items and a small table of cheese, fruit and deserts was not enough. Hot items were cold and uninspiring. It 's sad that Carter 's Landing seems to be so mismanaged because the location is absolutely perfect and begging for a place like this should be, but the bad management, poor service and lack of food quality is going to spell the end of this place which should be absolutely thriving! It 's sad actually!"

"I took my fiancé out for her birthday, she wanted to eat at a place on the water. We’re locals and hadn’t tried LaBarca yet. We dine out frequently and hoped we had found a new spot to put into our rotation. It’s a little tricky finding the front door since the restaurant’s parking is across the marina parking lot and not really close to the door. There is no sign on the door that we could see but, we figured it out. We were greeted right away and led right to our table on the window overlooking the marina as we requested. The restaurant was clean and inviting however a little brightly lit for a romantic meal. The service was good but, could have been a little more attentive. We never received the second round of dinks we asked for. I initially wanted oysters and was looking forward to them after reading the raw bar menu on-line. We were informed that they didn’t get their seafood order and they didn’t have any. IAlso, any dishes on the menu that requires fresh seafood were also unavailable. My Fiancé asked for a shrimp cocktail and was told they are only for the bar and they didn’t have any. We pressed on and ordered the crab corn chowder. It was served Luke warm and although tasted good, it was nothing extraordinary and had almost no crab meat or corn in it. Also, the bread that was brought to the table was good, just not very fresh. For to the entrée, I had the veal Parmesan with the side of rigatoni in vodka sauce. The veal was ok, again nothing extraordinary and was similar to what I would expect from a decent pizza shop. The vodka sauce was ok, not great. My fiancé had the shrimp rigatoni in vodka sauce. It came with three shrimp, which seemed a little light and the same vodka sauce. All in all it wasn’t a bad meal but, not something I feel compelled to go back for. There are much better options in the area for Italian or seafood. Management doesn't seem to have any interest in improving."
