Get ready for the smallest tacos in the universe. Even the ingredients was less than what it could fill the taco. It seems like the sauce they just put two drops on. usually tacos like that they even double wrap it just because corn tortillas are a little bit flimsy.
Also looking forward to coming here and having a drink and a bite to eat. The prices are way too expensive for the food. Drinks are pretty expensive too.
Now let’s talk about the guy behind the bar with a fancy little mustache. He was very rude and short. For me, Service is a big part of the experience. It has a nice atmosphere but he just ruined it for me by just not being very polite, being short and not very helpful. although there was a girl with blonde hair who was very nice and polite.
I would not bother coming back. A big no for me.

Upstairs at Caroline was such a fun experience! We enjoyed playing games like pool, Jenga, and foosball while sipping on their authentic cocktails. The view and the atmosphere were amazing, and there was always something enjoyable to do. I already miss it and would definitely come back!

I just sat at the Caroline patio and had a great time. Darnell was my server. He must’ve checked in me three times before I could even take in the ambiance upstairs. Great vibe, great service…having a blast. Thank you Darnell.

Upstairs at Caroline’s patio is a great daytime vibe. We came for happy hour after checking into our hotel. They have fire pits and heaters for guests. Our server, Tanner, was very attentive and gave us a great Italian restaurant recommendation.

They’re the best—super friendly, attentive, and they really make the whole experience memorable. But honestly, brunch downstairs is just as awesome, so you really can’t go wrong either way. The energy is always great, and the food never disappoints. I highly recommend ordering one of their specialty drinks—they know what they’re doing behind the bar. And you have to try the biscuits & gravy. It’s classic comfort food, done perfectly. Everything feels relaxed and welcoming, which makes it an easy spot to come back to again and again. Whether it’s a casual brunch or a fun day out, this place always delivers.
