"We adore Perfect Caper and visit as frequently as possible. During our recent visit, we opted to share an entree (Pappardelle Mushrooms) so we could try a variety of appetizers. The heirloom tomatoes mozzarella salad was an absolute standout, making my mouth water as I think about it. The steamed mussels were as delicious as ever, and my personal favorite was the fried hen of the woods mushrooms with the amazing ricotta/goatcheese/truffle oil and magic sauce. Simply incredible."

"I have been to Carmelo's many times and usually love my meal and can't wait to go back. Tonight was a different story. My boyfriend and I made a reservation at Carmelo's to celebrate our anniversary as it's usually one of our favorite places. Tonight it took a very long time for us to get our drinks, my boyfriend asked for lemon for his water that he had never received. We then got our appetizer after a little while of waiting, which was fine. After we saw tables around us who were seated after us receiving their bread, we then had asked for ours because we never received it. After maybe a little over an hour of being at the restaurant we got our food. I got the shrimp and scallop limoncello, which I have gotten many times there. It had diced tomatoes in it that were uncooked (along with the usual sun dried tomatoes) and this wasn't something that was changed on the menu, if it was I would have asked for it to be left out of the dish. The sauce also seemed to be extremely watery tonight. Eventually our waiter boxed up our food and asked if we wanted dessert, we got one and asked for it to be for to go and for the check. At this point we have been here for an hour and a half. He brings the check and we put the card immediately in as we are sick of sitting outside and waiting. The waiter proceeded to take the bill and talk to the table next to us for over 10 minutes with our bill in hand. No exaggeration. Just five minutes short of being at our table for 2 hours is when we finally were able to leave, as we had a 7pm reservation. Maybe this was an off night for Carmelo's, I really hope it's not the new normal here, and I may just be exceptionally frustrated as we had sat there waiting for a lot longer than we had ever experienced at Carmelo's before. We saw many tables of two that arrived after us come and go before we had even received our check."

"We have been wanting to eat here for awhile and finally got a chance when we had a change of dining plans. We made a 7 pm reservation, but we're not seated till 7:15. The front desk staff said they were waiting for tables to clear. (Not the happiest customer facing bunch). When we finally got seated we ordered the Brussel sprouts appetizer that was tasty, but not very firm. On the other hand, the jambalaya and short ribs were delicious and properly cooked. Our server, Toya, was friendly and prompt and not overbearing. Will come back again midweek when it is less crowded."

"Got in for Christmas dinner after weather killed plans for our family's meal. The space was nicely decorated, and the food was very good. A couple of us proclaimed the filet to be the best they've ever had. It's a bit pricey, but the food is very good. Our service was a little bit off due to dining at a table in the bar area, but staff was trying to keep up with our table as the bar got busier. Not a negative comment, just honest appraisal of our dinner that I won't hold against the restaurant. We'll be back!"

"I can't say enough! The belly Buster breakfast Burrito was incredible. Excellent sausage sword with cheese all over Burrito. My wife had club sandwich and she was impressed. During a previous visit, I had the hardy shrimp omelet that was also incredible."
