   This was our second time and unfortunely like the first, we waited "a bit too long' for service. The noise level was louder too (Saturday night) so unable to hear the music playing. Thankfully, once our server came around, we did enjoy specialty cocktails, Ceviche starter and entrees of savory Risotto, Tuna Tartare and 1/2 rack of Lamb.

   Awful service, don’t go there if you don’t want your evening ruined. Local police confirmed that this restaurant has a very bad reputation. After waiting for 1,5 for our food (everyone who came after us already received their dishes) it came incredibly salty that we couldn’t eat it. Manager apologized and updated the bill, but then the owner came and started harassing us, talking right to my face to the point of us feeling unsafe (both are females), yelling that we have no idea how the food should taste like and it’s perfect the way it was, making us pay the whole bill for the food we didn’t eat. It was supposed to be our last dinner in PR and it was ruined. Had to go elsewhere to get at least some food

   We made a reservation here for date night and got there at the right time and they had given our table away. There was no urgency to try to accommodate us at all. After waiting to see if they would remedy the situation we decided to go elsewhere and actually ended up having an amazing meal at Juana la Loca! The management at Carli’s is also incredibly rude for someone who owns a business that depends on being accommodating and customers liking your restaurant.

   Had a wonderful dinner at Carli’s. We had the spinach salad and the poached grouper and they are both were perfect. The drinks were perfect. Carly is a great host and I was a joy meeting him and the locals we will definitely be back.

   Wonderful dinner at Carli's! We had Mahi, Apricot Chicken and the fruit and cheese plate. Definitely recommend the mojitos! There was a little confusion about who was serving our area at first, but once corrected, we had a nice meal! We will go again!

   It was a wonderful dining experience. Fine dining at its best. Food, ambience top flight…staff all working in concert to make our night memorable. The chef and his crew got food out timely and hot….perfect. Music was nice also. We are inside because of piano; but I can imagine that outside would be awesome. Returning on Saturday.

   Gourmet food for 5 - 3 had the grouper which was outstanding. Service was spot on. Even the kid singing was good

    We had a great meal at Carli’s! The servers are all very friendly and the live music created a nice atmosphere. The locations is very pretty to sit outside. The tuna tartare was wonderful! Portion sizes are very nice.
