A word from Carolina's Restaurant

The Original Southern Bistro, Carolina’s is as rich in local lore as it is in culinary tradition. Be whisked away by the succulent flavors and sophisticated elegant atmosphere. Three distinct dining areas - the Perdita’s Room for a more intimate dining experience, the Sidewalk Room with its tall… arched windows, and the bustling Bar Room - make Carolina’s the perfect place for dinner any night of the week. Serving dinner nightly. Extensive wine list and private cellar.Continued

"Tasteful decor that was accompained by a somewhat varied menue. At times the service was a bit slow but bearable. Would have enjoyed a little more selection for a sensitive palet."

"This was my first visit to Carolina's and it was great. The brunch menu was limited. We had an individual in our party who does not eat shellfish, and there was only one item that didn't have some type of shellfish in it, but she got the hangar steak and it looked great. My shrimp and grits was wonderful; right portions for lunch; bloody marys are great!"

"We love this restaurant but had a very disappointing experience at our most recent visit. The food was delicious but we were seated almost an hour after we arrived for our reservation and by then the fresh catch of the day was out and that's what my mouth had been watering for all day. Other people came in and went right to their tables. It was a let down. Sorry, Carolina's."
