Ok so to start, this review is for the new location in Southside. I never reviewed the old location but I already miss it. I figured maybe since they were already an established restaurant there may not be too many kinks to work out and decided to go a month after opening (usually I wait a bit after a restaurant opens to give a good review). Our waitress was a sweetheart, and the food was pretty much the same. However in the hour or so I was there I watched MULTIPLE people leave after being told 15-20 mins and seeing empty tables just not be filled. The young girl at the front was so uninviting. Not that she was mean, but just seemed annoyed the whole time. She seemed to just be moving extremely slow, like she just didn't know if she should seat someone or take a takeout order or what. She was very young so I don't want this to come off as rude, it just all seemed confused.
Also, I miss the comfort vibe. There was music playing sporadically but when it would shut off, the place went SILENT.
Our food came in a reasonable amount of time. My chicken was a bit tough compared to what I'm used to from them, but sides were delicious as usual.
I can't abandon my Carmi love, I'll just give it a while before I try again.
