Carmi still has absolutely amazing food in my opinion, but the service is lacking sadly. Most of the wait staff are young teens and they just haven't been all that great the last few visits.
We were deciding on where to eat and my bf suggested Carmi's. There's no way ever I could say no to that so we left and headed to north side.
We were seated immediately. We looked over menus and decided what we wanted to order. No one greeted us or even offered drinks. After almost 15 minutes and no sign of our server, another server said 'she'll be out shortly' . Meanwhile a group of 4 other servers stood in the back staring at the dining room and even they didn't offer to greet us. How upsetting. I've been a server and understand sometimes someone is behind.. But other servers who clearly have nothing to do normally offer to help.. Atleast EVERYWHERE I've worked.
My boyfriend ordered his normal chicken Entree with mac & green. He chose the chicken and dumpling soup which is still phenomenal omg!
I ordered the shrimp and grits trying to be on the healthy side. I also ordered a side salad. I wouldn't call their shrimp and cheddar grits healthy but they were great as well! I do wish more shrimp was in it though. My drink wasn't always filled through the meal though.
Despite the really crappy service we are still in love with Carmi. I'll give them another chance for sure but I hope the servers can be more attentive and helpful.
