| - We were looking for a nice pasta dinner and saw that Caroline's did same so decided to walk down and try it.
Green Salad: lettuce. Only lettuce.
Crab Cake: frozen.
Pasta: an attempt at aglio e olio, with *no* parmesan.
The waiter tried his best, and I would give him high marks. Unfortunately, this place belongs on Kitchen Nightmares. It's like the owners have tried saving money by taking out all the actual cooking or detail in the food without charging less. My green salad was literally just lettuce with a dressing. The Crab Cake I got had all the wonder of a fish cake out of the freezer at Safeway. My husband's pasta was *so* bland. And, as I say, it had no cheese, and darn little garlic, which... well, it's supposed to have a lot of these things, really.
I really felt the waiter was embarrassed. Someone has made some very poor decisions about this place, and one doesn't know if it's the chef or owner, but this has the feeling of a place that has lost its spark, if it had any. Food for people with failing tastebuds.
