Very nice and patient hostess. Maybe it's just my expectation in customer service is getting low but the hostess were patient and kind enough to explain to us that all the tables were booked for the night and to maybe try the bar. And with some luck, we were seated in 20 minutes.
We ordered the platter for two for $60, the tacos for $16, and a corn bread for $8 I think. This was more than enough to feed one dude and two gal. The food is a tad better than most bar restaurant; jack and milestones, etc. So you are really paying more for just the chic atmosphere.
We had a great time at Carbon Bar. Would recommend for party of large group if service is important for the night. The staff are nice and attentive. For myself though, I'd probably won't put it on my to go to list for bar food. There are just too many restaurants that can dish out better food for almost half the price.
