by Ray V. on This place pretty much sucks. They try to make you wait out front as long as possible (even in the cold) to build anticipation that there is actually something inside worth waiting for. The bouncers at the front here have an extremely inflated ego of themselves at their lounge. Overly expensive drinks, pretty crappy music, so-so crowd, too small a venue, ok decor. I only went here because of a friend and would never go back unless I had a real good reason to.
by Jeannie Stoetzel on It varies. It's very crowded - we held a big event here. At least they let us control the lines as we expected. Coat check up front. There are two levels. If you have enough of an appetite for a bar tab, you can rent out the upstairs. Don't leave jackets or purses around, the bouncers get annoyed. I didn't like that. Girls don't like hauling around their purses when they can set them down. Music varied. And the bars were slow.
by Lurline Hanberry on SUPERCALIFRAGILISTICEXPLALIDOCIOUS is as unique as Carman's Country Kitchen who claims in her business cards that she is putting the ____ back into the country. I will leave the full phrase to your imagination. I would recommend to have reservations which means call ahead that morning and decreases the chances of a wait. Regardless the pleasant, perky, pleasing personnel will make sure that a mug of freshly brewed hot coffee lands on your hand will you wait. The staff will introduce themselves to you be ready to do the same. It is polite and they want you to do so. The seating area constitutes of an L shaped bar and there are several small tables available. They will make everyone in your table to get cozy and cram together for space constraints. I find that this makes it intimate. The small place is infused with mismatching decorations including a picture of Carman not too long ago. The kitchen is in the back where you can see Carman preparing the meals. You can say hi. She does not bite, and is very personable. Remember: Do not expect to have a long conversation with her since she is cooking brunch. Get it. OK! Move along now. In the summer she has seating in a concerted van, truck or whatever you want to call it. If you are afraid to break a nail, do not want to sit on a patio or collapsible chair, needs structure in everything this is not the place for you. I personally enjoy it not only for it's excellent food but also for it's flair. The menu is based on several main brunch dishes that alternate their composition based on what she finds in season. She also has great marmalade my favorite is the one with Rhubarb. There are salty menu items like the omelet and sweet items like the waffles. Listen for the sausage of the day. Do not plan to eat anything else for the rest of the day.
