   It was interesting that our waiter never asked what we would like to drink. We had to ask to order cocktails. And then the same thing for dessert. Never asked what we would like for dessert and we had to ask. I did not think the food was as good as usual. The escargot was extremely salty, the crème brûlée was cold inside, and I did not like the lobster agnoletti, their new dish which did not have any real flavor. Maybe needed salt or something. But they handled our group of 12 extremely well other than that. Of course it’s pricey but you know that going in

   I have been loving this restaurant for 40 years so that says it all. It's always been one of the best if not THE best restaurant in El Paso.

   Staff is very attentive, from the time you walk in the door (always someone holding the door open for you) to being seated and served. We went there before a concert and they actually asked us if we were attending then told us they would be conscious of the time. Food was delicious and prepared as ordered. Definitely recommend this place as a date night.

   This was my worst experience with 'fine dining' by FAR. I travel to El Paso from Dallas, TX often for business. I work for an expansive, nationwide oncology network providing exceptional care to patients on a daily basis. It is my hope to receive the level of service and compassion that I provide, however that was not the case during my reservation yesterday evening. The dismissive micro aggressive & passive behaviors from the valet attendants, hostesses, the waiter and even to the manager on duty were absolutely horrible and unacceptable for a place of business that serves the "elite" of El Paso. MAJOR MISREPRESENTATION. I was seated immediately for my reservation but that is were the expectation of impeccable service ended. My server disregarded me and focused on other tables seated after me, the hostesses came to take my beverage and appetizer order after much delay (but was not knowledgeable of the menu offerings), the manager visited other tables to inquire about the patron's experience but never bothered to visit my table. My assigned waiter eventually brought my appetizer and just sat it on the table away from me with no offering of condiments or inquiring if I had everything I needed to enjoy my meal. Never once did he match and provide the level of service I witnessed him provide to neighboring tables. The grossly unacceptable service, neglect, delays, dismissiveness and price point are definitely not worthy of a return visit, let alone an initial one. If you consider your establishment to be for the 'elite' only, then you should definitely acknowledge that GREEN is the only 'elite' color that your establishment should be concerned with. I most certainly will never patronize again and will advise others to follow suit.

   Our first time at Care Centeal and it not disappoint. We celebrated our 31 Wedding Anniversary there. The service was exceptional, wait staff were very attentive and they gave us a complimentary dessert. We will definitely be back.

    The sea bass was fantastic as was the duck. Every morsel we ate was delicious. The staff was attentive but not hovering. We loved our experience and will definitely be back.
