    Had a great time at Carla last night (my second time there). The staff were so accommodating (we had an extra person show up, one of us changed their drink order a few times) and really let us enjoy our time there (great balance of attentive service and letting us hang out and enjoy talking). The food and cocktails were yummy! And so many gluten-free options for the celiac person in our group. Will definitely return.

    The wait staff was attentive and remembered to bring out a round of drinks when all guests arrived after appetizers. The service was quick to allow getting to a 8 o’clock curtain quickly and is less than a block away from circle in the round. The food was excellent and I would recommend the enchiladas or fajitas for anyone interested.
