| - Had dinner at CB last night after a debacle at an establishment across the street. Such a great experience wanted to update my review and realized I never have reviewed. Yikes! Remedying that now.
We have been to Carefree Bistro about five times since it opened and have never had a bad meal. Always delicious, service great, super energy---probably the reason we don't go more often is we find the dining room quite loud---it's happy chatter, but it's loud. Now that the patio is open, it's quieter and that will make a difference in our visits, I think. But last night the patio was full, as was the dining room, but a lovely young woman found us a two-top in the corner.
We were so hungry! We told our server we had just waited an hour and a half at a nearby restaurant and never got our meals, so please feed us fast! I love CB's risotto and order it at every opportunity---last night was no exception. DH ordered the Chicken & Prawns.
Bless his heart---moments after we ordered, our server, Benjamin, brought two bowls of the most delectable cream of broccoli soup to hold us over---complimentary because we were so hungry and weren't having a great experience so far this night. It was really, really very good. I can't explain except it just seemed to embody broccoli flavor. I don't know how the chef made it so intense.
But I have to point out that that gesture did not nothing but make us feel more positive about CB and it's staff than we already were. I don't know what those soups cost, but emotionally, it made us feel someone cared what kind of evening we were having. Priceless!
Our entrees were out in about 10 minutes. I had a three mushroom risotto that was incredible and perfectly cooked---I didn't even allow the server to add parmesan because the seasoning was so perfectly balanced, I didn't want to adjust it with the saltiness of the cheese. DH said his Chicken & Prawns was very good. He gave me one of his prawns and it was delicious, hot and succulent and buttery. Yum! One of these days if I can pass up the risotto, I am going to try that dish myself.
Oh, and though we did not have an appetizer at CB last night, the tuna tartare and the calamari has been wonderful in the past! The pizza looks great too---DH always says he is going to try their pizza, then he gets seduced by a entree. Maybe we will have to go up to lunch one day...I have heard their portobello mushroom sandwich is really good!
Anyhow, as good as the food is, the attention to detail and the incredible hum of energy is probably why Carefree Bistro is always packed. You just feel cosseted and like you are at a big ol' party all at one time! Very nice.
