Mmmmmmm. Sooooo. Good. So. Very. Good.
Go here. Go to the back to eat real food in an actual hidden gem. You're welcome.
A. M. A. Z. I. N. G.
Oh where to begin.
When you first arrive the bar & staff are noticeably sharper than the average neighborhood bar. And it's easy to get cozy at the bar with friendly staff & amazing appetizers and bar food.
But don't. Keep going. The restaurant area is absolutely too unique too miss. Get a table. Relax. Chat with your waitress. Order some appetizers & hand mixed drinks before going all out with selecting your meal. Our favorite- to each order a different item and switch and swap. Some items we love and order over & over again- and honestly- we've enjoyed everything so far-
Avocado & crab dip- I don't even like avocados ( no joke, Some would say that I passionately dislike them) yet this dip, - I would lick it off the dish if nobody was looking. Oh who am I kidding? I might someday it you were!!!
Hummus- oh. Yeah. Just enough of a zip of spice on the tongue to be perfect! So delicious.
Green leafy healthy apps- fresh, crisp. So good. Definitely make the decision to have one before your meal. I am partial to the Winter Salad. The roasted beets are soooo good. I can't even explain just how delicious I want to put into words that it is. It just is beyond words delicious. Fantastic choice.
Mac N Cheese- I could start to drool just thinking about it. Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhh. So good. Spicy w sharp white cheddar.
The Cauliflower- It doesn't sound like it is amazing. It is. Roasted. Pine nuts. Spiced perfectly. This isn't your momma' cauliflower. Or any other cauliflower you've ever had. This is cauliflower you will crave and be begging for more of. It's the only cauliflower I've ever had such passionate feelings towards.
Duck Lard- I never thought I'd have an opinion about duck fat. It turns out. I do. Thanks to Carmela's I feel passionate about wanting food that's been cooked in it. Read the menu. Look for the items that have been cooked in ducks fat. Order those items. Consume them. You will end your meal being pleasantly content with your life choices. French fries are heavily. French fries cooked in duck fat are like having angels hand feed you French fries while singing from the heavens.
Oh, Carmela's. The unassuming restaurant front on Carson Street hides the glorious experience provided inside. If you haven't had their delectable plates & pints, hurry to experience this darling establishment.
The only con, and some would consider it a strength, it's not a place to bring a small kid or baby. We take our Mr. Toddler our dining all over the place. He's been dining out since the day he went him from the hospital. He dines out almost everywhere with us. Except here. This isn't a place for little kiddo's. The space is too cozy.
Update--- 2016 summer restaurant week
I love this place even more! It's time to open a second location as the secret it out about Carmella's awesomeness.
