I've been to Carmella's twice before, once for drinks and once for dinner, and it was okay. However, I went a third time during restaurant week and was supremely disappointed. 1) I ordered the lamb. The server did not ask how I wanted it cooked and it came out well done. Lamb should be rare or medium rare. 2) I ordered one of the specialty margaritas and it was not strained properly. There were pieces of herbs that were annoyingly going into my mouth and then I kept trying to avoid them while I was drinking...it just wasn't great when you are trying to have a conversation. 3) The chocolate chip cookie for dessert was the worst chocolate chip cookie I've ever tasted. It tasted like a health cookie. In other words, it was extremely bland. The two stars is because I did like my appetizer...a prosciutto/ asparagus salad and the drink did actually taste refreshing.
