I recently checked out Carroll's Place before trying a new ice cream spot. The vibe of the place is fantastic--lively but calm, with a cozy indoor seating area in the back that feels like a hidden gem.Our server was incredibly attentive, and service was quick without feeling rushed. Huge shoutout to him for making the experience so pleasant. The food was impressive, too. We ordered appetizers, and they came out fresh and flavorful. I went with the salmon for my main course, and it was as satisfying as a homemade meal--cooked perfectly with high-quality ingredients.For dessert, we shared a piece of tiramisu. It was deliciously moist and flavorful, not at all dry, which made it the perfect end to the meal. The drinks were also on point--flavorful without being overpowering. I only had two, and it was just the right amount to keep things light and enjoyable.Overall, I definitely recommend Carroll's Place, whether you're coming for a relaxed hangout, date night, or simply to enjoy some good food and drinks. It's a win all around!

Some friends and I had dinner here before a show in the area. We arrived early in the evening and the place was packed. The decor was nice and the vibe was energetic. The seating area was a bit small and you were sitting right next to another party.We ordered meatball parm sliders as an appetizer for the table that came in two and each of us were able to eat one. For dinner, I ordered the lasagna and two other friends ordered the penne alla vodka with chicken and the other had sausages. We all enjoyed our meals with no complaints. None of us ordered cocktails agreeing we would be nodding at the show we were going to see shortly after dinner. lolOur server was sweet and friendly. The bathrooms were clean and the attendant in the bathroom had everything you needed when you finished in the restroom so take some dollars for a small tip. lol Overall we had a great time and I would definitely return to check out some menu items.

Overall: I went here on a Saturday night with my girlfriend. We had a reservation for 8:30. When we arrived, the entry way was packed and several groups with 8:00 reservations hadn't been seated yet and were told to hang out at the bar. We were actually seated right away, but in the upstairs dining room. The food was good, but the upstairs area was basically forgotten by the wait staff and was dominated by another bar area. The food was good, but probably won't be back based on the overall experience. Food: 4Drinks: 3Service: 1 Value: 3Atmosphere: 2 Food: The food was very good, easily the highlight of the night. We got the meatball parm sliders, the lasagna, and the pappardelle. The sliders were pretty unique, with a crushed meatball and a slab of parmesan cheese between a soft bun. The lasagna was very savory and cheesy and came out hot (took an extra 20 minutes, which we were warned about). Drinks: We each got a cocktail. I got the 'You Must Chill' (mix of run and several liqueurs) and my girlfriend got the 'Ding Ding Ding' (spicy marg). They were fine, but nothing special. We each thought they were lacking overall flavor.Service: This part was dreadful. We were seated quickly and had our drink orders taken, but then we were basically forgotten. We had to make a point of flagging down a waiter to order food, get refills, and pay our bill. Even then, they got distracted and needed to be reminded. The point-of-sale software they were using failed at some point, which caused another delay while the waiter tried to fix it. The table next to us took over an hour to order their food. Maybe the issue was that we were in the upstairs area, but it was pretty frustrating.Value: I thought the food prices were reasonable: $15 for the meatball sliders, $22 for lasagna, and $21 for the pappardelle. The cocktails were $15-16 each, which was kind of a lot for how small they were.Atmosphere: The restaurant was dimly lit and decorated with lots of holiday themed touches. It looked promising going in. Again, I think the issue may have been sitting upstairs. The upstairs part seemed like they couldn't decide between being a nice Italian restaurant or a cheap college bar. Our table was half booth; my girlfriend said the bench she was seated on was covered in dirt, as if it was common for people to stand on it to dance. Our specific table was nearest to the bar and we were regularly dealing with people throwing their coats next to us and shouting. The upstairs bathroom door was broken so it didn't latch properly. Lots of potential, but overall not a great experience.

Food: Came here for some unlimited boozy brunch deal! Ended up ordering the burger with the mimosa deal and I could not have been any happier- the burger was delicious and the addition of the unlimited option was one of the better deals I have seen in the city!Cost: Approximately around $40 for unlimited drinks + burger option (I do know it was a slight upcharge for the burger choice out of the entree options).Environment: Fairly large establishment! Was able to have a party of 7-8 fit and be accommodated without any issue.Service: The service was great! Our waitress was always keeping an eye out and making sure our mimosa pitcher was alway full and ready for us to demolish hahaUniqueness: Great place for brunch, especially if you want a boozy brunch with a fun atmosphere and plenty of room for large groups!

Same owners as Ainslie in Williamsburg so very similar menu/style. The brunch special was the same with $32 unlimited drinks INCLUDING entree which is great. However service was not great, we were seated for 30 minutes before anyone came and greeted us or anything. We had to ask a busser who our server was and he went to go grab someone. It was good they left carafes for us but food was decent.

Went for brunch on a Sunday at 11:30am. Not crowded at all which was great. Food was decent and servers were pleasant. Overall, nothing amazing but not bad place to go if you didn't make a brunch reservation elsewhere.

As a dinner spot, there are probably better options out there. As a bar spot to go hang out on a weekend night with drinks and music, this might be the place for you. As for the dinner, the food was ok and service was just blah. The pizzas we ordered were charred all over and soggy. Picking up a slice resulted in the whole thing slipping off and turning into a pile of greasy soggy dough with random pizza ingredients sprinkled all around. The pasta dishes were good but barely enough to call a complete meal for one person. Service was not memorable. We asked for any recommendations and got a dismissive answer. We didn't want to order drinks or appetizers at the time so the waiter got annoyed. He barely showed up to check in on us and just didn't seem welcoming. The best was when he came and gave us the check so we could pay and finally leave this place to get a second meal elsewhere cause this place just did not cut it.

We went to this place for a friend's birthday dinner . Upon walking in, the place was really cute!The service started off, shaky. We had a party of 18 and the tables that they gave us was just not picking up to suit our party. We asked to be moved to a different area, but they said they had a bigger party. However, they ended up moving us to that place, which was interesting because I thought they said they had a party. It ended up that they did have a party. We just got there first. I'm glad they moved us because it was definitely more comfortable. The bottom is option was all or nothing but that's pretty typical for a restaurant in the city. We got the some appetizers: - Caesar salad was made out of spinach. Spinach leave the weird taste in my mouth which has nothing to do with the restaurant. The salad was good. -The Meatballs were so good. Not dry and very flavorful. -The Fries were incredible. They had a hint of truffle flavor. They also had a nice bite to them. - The brussels sprouts were cooked well. I wish they were more saucy. - The pizza was floppy but decent. I'm overall not a huge pizza fan but I liked the thinness of the crust. - The penne alla vodka lacked a decent amount of sauce for me. I needed more of that creamy tomato sauce. - The chicken was kind of dry but okay. After like 10pm, the place turned into a club vibe. The music was bumping and it was a nice mix between current and oldies songs. I would recommend!

Good spot for chill drinks at the bar - wines are around $12 per glass and if you sit at the bar you can watch them make pizzas in the wood fired oven. We snacked on the 3 for $18 cheeses - Gorgonzola / Manchego / Pecorino di toscano, which came with bread. Would like to come back for happy hour!
