My husband and I went to Carmella's on a random Monday when a brewery we like was closed. (Side note, what is with this state and every restaurant being closed on Mondays?)
The food was wonderful. If I'm being picky, the bacon on our mac & cheese was a little burnt. But that's my only complaint about the food. The scallops with beet risotto was fantastic, as was the mac & cheese. We also split the hanger steak - medium rare. It was cooked perfectly.
We split a bottle of wine because it was "Malbec Monday." We got half off our bottle of wine. However, it only applied to bottles that were less than $50. And there was only one bottle of malbec on the wine list that applied. It seemed shady, but the wine was good. I've had drinks there before and the beer selection is always great. My husband liked the "Han Shot First," for more than just the name. The mules are always refreshing.
It's not a cheap dinner - especially when you drink as much as we do. But I would definitely suggest this to friends. Hence why I'm writing this review.
