    Everything was excellent. From the food to the waiters to even the staff at the front door. Be warned, the menu is small and doesn't have everything that it shows you online, but what they do have is SO GOOD!! Asides from wanting more food options, this place was perfect. Well worth the price and great place for date night.

    Staff was inattentive and not that helpful. Ordered 2 apps and a salad for sharing and the salad came out first. It was hard to get servers attention. Charcuterie board came with 3 pieces of toast and we tried to get more, were told we would have to pay, and we agreed, and the bread never came. We weren't charged for the bread in the end but also left still hungry.

    First time dining here. It was quite windy that evening but the view made you want to stay. Perfect views of the city! Staff was very welcoming, friendly and accommodating. The food and drinks were served in a timely manner and they were very good. The food servings could have been a little bigger in my opinion for sharing but everything was very tasty. I would definitely dine here again! 🤩

    Great views and a delightful ambience. The seafood ceviche stood out with its fantastic flavors. However, food and cocktail prices are a bit steep - making it a pricey dining experience.

    Dining at Cara Cara is always a pleasure! We enjoy the vibrant cocktails as well as the wine list, especially the Spanish offerings. The food is delicious and well executed with an abundance of offerings for all diets. Our niece is a vegetarian and Cara Cara is one of her favorite places.

    Loved the ambiance and food. Just thought if you make special request( as we did for our first year anniversary) they'd put some effort or be somewhat attentive. Especially if I emphasized it was our first year marriage anniversary. The girl that was first our waitress looked a little annoyed when I asked her to keep food /cocktail menu. She placed her hand in the air to give her the food/cocktail menu instead of reaching over for it. Everything else was good.

    The food was excellent but everything else was off. We got the entrees before the appetizer. When we ordered a second round of drinks they were made completely different. We asked for limes and got lemons. When we got the bill it had other tables items added to our bill. Watch out for when they ask you about water. They charge you $7 for a bottle of water when you think your just ordering regular water. Ask for tap water, they don’t offer it up front. Servers ignored you and stood talking to each other until you called someone over. No offer for more food, drink refills or dessert.

    Exceptional: View, ambiance and service. Excellent: Drinks, Fries and Red Snapper dish. Just OK: Peri-Peri Chicken (usually one of my favorites but this time it was dry as opposed to moist and scrumptious). Not Good: Pork Tacos (they had so much going for them but turned out dry. Not even an excellent green salsa sauce was able to save it). Will definitely be back. Will give it another chance. Did I say that staff is amazing, friendly and attentive.
