| - My initial experience at the Carbon Bar left me a little disappointed, however, reviews left me wanting to give it another shot. Again,I was disappointed.
Call and make a reservation or you will wait. The hostess was very snobby. I felt very rushed when I asked questions about the food, and she had a tone that was short and just rude..
**Tip - don't become a hostess if you don't want to answer phones / deal with people.**
Moving on to the arrival... The decor is way cool, it's a dark hallway, leading up to a hostess stand... The girls were chit chatting and one let out a friendly hello when I finally got to the front. The other one with bangs was just so rude. I'm assuming this is who I spoke with while booking the reservation.
"Reservation? NAME...???" and then she bossed the other girls around and told them where to take me. I was finally glad to just get in and not have to deal with the terrible teenager they put at the front.
The atmosphere is busy and fun, the bar area is great for grabbing drinks while you wait for the rest of your group (happened first time) but I was glad we were all together and could just sit down and eat.
When walking through the restaurant you can smell awesome food from the open kitchen at the end of the room and fun music is always playing, a bit loud but by the end of it all, you kind of get used to it.
Our server was quick, and super friendly. We had water on our table almost right away, and she, again, was just so nice! She answered all of our questions with patience, allowed us to take time with drinks and chit chatting, we never felt rushed to order, and she was never gone for too long, but didn't hover over us... A perfect server - definitely has experience!!
Unfortunately the tables are all really close together, trying to cram everyone in because they are pretty busy most of the time, but I knocked elbows with the guy beside me more than a few times... THAT close.
Food wasn't anything to go crazy over which is unfortunate considering all of the hype. Not a lot of meat, verrryy small portions. It's all very pricy. I'm not a major foodie, but I know this wasn't all it was cracked up to be.
I had a good night, but I think that was mostly the drinks (very good, I must say) and atmosphere.
Overall, a drab and taxing experience.
It sucks about the awful customer service at the front (if managers are reading this, seriously, handle that), but that really did it for me. The food was not exciting enough to expand on in this review. Wasn't terrible, just not exciting and we left hungry...
I'd give our server 5 stars and 5 to the bartender for making awesome drinks, but everything else was just blah.
Not recommending, not going back.
