I had such high hope for Carlos' Bistro but lunch there was somewhat disappointing. Yes, Carlos with tie flung over his shoulder, still demonstrates his understanding of the meaning of service by personally meeting and greeting you, but here's what happened when he wasn't looking.
After our waitress carefully described in detail the daily specials she seemed quite surprised when we opted out of the 4 shrimp salad and ordered instead the pan-seared Jumbo Sea Scallop and Shrimp salad with lemon vinaigrette dressing. Apparently we upset her so much that she confused the red zin I had ordered with a glass of the house red. The salad arrived and the shrimp and scallops were cooked to perfection. The food was delectable as expected but...........I was hungry and this salad prepared with 2 shrimp and 2 scallops left me craving more. Gee Carlos, for $15.99 I'd really like at least 3 of each! I wasn't sure if the crème brule that we ordered (to split for dessert) is always served in a small casserole dish or if Carlos knew a ramekin might fall short for two still hungry people, but we were sure happy to see it.
I haven't given up on Carlo's Bistro, but I am not ordering the Jumbo Sea Scallops and Shrimp Salad for lunch again.
