    One of the best meals I’ve had in a long time! We opted to have the chef tasting menu and it was fabulous. With four people it was really spot on because you can try a lot of different dishes. I had a cosmo while other people in our party had espresso martinis and a Paloma. We also had a delicious bottle of wine. We were there early so it wasn’t very busy but it allowed for a great experience with the owner. Very very nice guy and great place. Thank you for having us!

    Fun and delicious. No wait for our table. We ordered wine, delicious red wines. We ordered meatball appetizer, just ok, but the bread was terrific. I could not decide which pasta to try, so the waiter brought me half orders of two different ones. So nice and accommodating. Home made pastas were excellent. My friend got the special, pounded thin chicken with cheese and prosciutto baked, it was awesome. Overall the food was delicious, appetizer was good but the mains were excellent. Tiramisu for desert did not disappoint. Friendly staff and a nice vibe, then a woman grabbed a microphone and sang us some Italian songs. What a blast!

    I used to go to Carrie Nation back when the legendary Frank worked there. I hadn’t been in a while and was delighted by the stellar hospitality. We were a group of 6 on a relatively quiet afternoon, and our server happened to be the bartender, whose drinks were fantastic. My friends and I agreed that it was a great hang and we will be returning
